How to Make Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shots

Making these Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shots is a breeze! In just a few simple steps, you’ll have a fun and delicious treat ready to impress your friends. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Rim the Glasses

Start by preparing your shot glasses. Pour a shallow layer of Karo light corn syrup into a saucer. This will help the cinnamon sugar stick!

Next, grab another saucer and mix together the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar. I like to give it a little stir, so the flavors mingle nicely.

Now, dip each shot glass first into the corn syrup, letting any excess drip off. Then, immerse it into the cinnamon-sugar mix. You want a nice, sugary rim that’ll delight everyone with each sip!

Step 2: Combine Ingredients

Time for the magical mix! Pour 1 ounce of Fireball whisky into each glass, followed by 1 ounce of RumChata. These sweet and spicy flavors meld together beautifully, creating the base of our shots!

If you’re using smaller glasses, adjust the quantities accordingly; it’s all about customization to fit your gathering!

Step 3: Enjoy!

Now that your Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shots are ready, gather your friends and toast to a fabulous time! Whether you’re at home or out celebrating, these shots are sure to become a favorite!

Remember, you can even add a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra bit of indulgence. Let the good times roll!

Tips for Success

• Chill your Fireball whisky and RumChata before mixing for a refreshing experience.
• Make a larger batch by doubling or tripling the ingredients for parties.
• Experiment with rimming flavors by adding cocoa or crushed cookies.
• Pre-mix the ingredients ahead of time for easy assembly right before serving.
• Keep extra cinnamon sugar on hand for those who love a little extra sweetness!

Equipment Needed

• Shot glasses: Standard 2 oz. glasses work best, but feel free to use smaller ones for a lighter sip.
• Saucers: A couple of shallow dishes for rimming the glasses—alternatives can be any flat surface like plates!
• Mixing spoon: To stir your cinnamon and sugar together.

Variations

• Chocolate Lovers: Swap out some of the RumChata for chocolate liqueur for a rich twist.
• Non-Alcoholic Option: Replace Fireball and RumChata with non-alcoholic cinnamon-infused syrup and cream soda for a fun family-friendly drink.
• Spicy Kick: Add a dash of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon sugar for an unexpected kick!
• Fruit Fusion: Try adding a splash of apple cider to enhance the autumn flavors for a seasonal treat.
