Oatmeal Cookie Shot

The Oatmeal Cookie shot is a tasty slammer that could almost double for dessert. It tastes like a freshly baked oatmeal cookie, but this treat is just for the grown-ups.

But this shot is best shared with friends, ideally after a big dinner when everyone’s too full for a full dessert but you’re still craving something sweet. Here’s everything you need to know to make a round of these tasty shots at home.

What Is an Oatmeal Cookie Shot?

An Oatmeal Cookie shot is a tall, dessert-flavored slammer containing butterscotch schnapps, Irish cream, cinnamon schnapps, and coffee liqueur(see also: Best Coffee Liqueurs)(see also: Best Coffee Liqueurs). This unique flavor combination magically recreates the taste of a warm oatmeal cookie dipped in a glass of cold milk. While it’s a perfect after-dinner slammer, it also makes a great bedtime cocktail.

How to Make an Oatmeal Cookie Shot

Oatmeal Cookie shots are super easy to make for one or a crowd. You’ll need butterscotch schnapps, cinnamon schnapps, Irish cream, and coffee liqueur. Kahlua and Baileys Irish cream are the traditional choices for the liqueurs, but any brand will do. The same goes for the butterscotch and cinnamon schnapps, but Goldcshlager will give your shots a little sparkle.

The only equipment you’ll need is a pair of tall shot glasses, a cocktail shaker, and some ice. Fill the shaker with ice, then add 1 ounce each of the coffee liqueur, Irish cream, butterscotch schnapps, and cinnamon schnapps. Shake to combine, then pour into the shot glasses, filling them to the brim. Voila! You have a tasty Oatmeal Cookie shot for two.

If you want to serve a round of Oatmeal Cookie shots for friends after dinner, this recipe is a piece of cake to scale up. Simply pour 1 oz of each ingredient for every two shots you plan to serve. And don’t worry if you overpour – these yummy slammers go fast, and at least a few of your guests will probably want a second round anyway.
