Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot

The Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot is like a warm, cozy hug in a glass. It’s a deliciously indulgent combination of cinnamon whiskey and creamy Rum Chata that tastes like a liquid version of your favorite childhood cereal.

Cocktail shots are even more fun when they’re flavored with nostalgia like the the Tootsie Roll Shot or the White Gummy Bear Shot.

What’s in a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot

A Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot is a delicious and easy-to-make shot that combines two main ingredients: cinnamon whiskey and Rum Chata. Cinnamon whiskey, as the name suggests, is a whiskey that’s flavored with cinnamon, while Rum Chata is a cream liqueur that’s made with Caribbean rum and real dairy cream.

When these two ingredients are combined and shaken with ice, they create a sweet and spicy shot that’s reminiscent of the popular breakfast cereal.

To add an extra touch of sweetness and texture to the shot, some people like to add a cinnamon sugar rim to the shot glass. When you take a sip, the combination of the sweet, crunchy rim and the creamy, spicy shot is sure to delight your taste buds.

Ingredient Notes

• Cinnamon Whiskey – The Cinnamon Whiskey adds a warm, spicy kick to the drink, due to its infusion with cinnamon flavoring, which creates a unique flavor that’s reminiscent of the breakfast cereal. Fireball is the most common cinnamon whiskey used in this shot.
• Rum Chata – The Rum Chata adds a creamy, sweet liqueur that complements the cinnamon whiskey’s warm, spicy kick. It contributes to the overall sweetness of the shot and adds a smooth, creamy texture.

How to Make a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot

1. Apply frosting to the rim: Take a small amount of frosting and apply it to the rim of the shot glass, spreading it evenly. You can also spread the frosting on a flat surface and dip the rim of the glass into it.
2. Dip the rim in cinnamon sugar: Dip the frosted rim of the shot glass into the cinnamon sugar mixture, making sure the entire rim is coated.

3. Add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Fill a shaker with ice and add cinnamon whiskey and Rum Chata to the shaker. Shake the shaker vigorously for about 10 seconds.
4. Strain. Strain the mixture into a shot glass. You can garnish each shot with a dash of cinnamon or add some Whipped Cream and a few pieces of Cinnamon Toast Crunch on top.

Recipe Notes and Tips

• Experiment with ratios – If you prefer a sweeter shot, you can increase the amount of Rum Chata or decrease the amount of cinnamon whiskey.
• Chill the ingredients – For a smoother shot, chill the cinnamon whiskey and Rum Chata before mixing them.
• Garnish the shots – A sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the shot adds a lovely touch to the presentation and enhances the cinnamon flavor. You can also top them off with Whipped Cream and some pieces of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
• Change it up – Instead of using Rum Chata use Bailey’s Irish Cream for an extra creamy version.
