Ingredients in Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot

• Fireball Whiskey – This cinnamon flavored whiskey is never more delicious than in this recipe.
• RumChata – Rum with real dairy cream—this adds the perfect creamy texture to this recipe.
• Cinnamon Sugar – The perfect way to rim this cocktail. Just mix a little cinnamon with white sugar.

Directions

Begin by rimming your glass with a cinnamon sugar mixture. I used a tiny bit of water around the outer edge of the glass and then dipped it into the cinnamon sugar mixture for a frosted edge.

In a cocktail shaker, mix Fireball and RumChata with a handful of ice and shake for 15 seconds.

Pour into the shot glass and enjoy immediately!

Cinnamon Sugar Rim Ratio

I like to use a 2:1 ratio for this, so two parts sugar and one part cinnamon. You can use even less cinnamon if you want to make it more subtle.

Tips for Making

• If you’d prefer to sip this drink rather than shoot it, simply pour it into a rocks glass with ice or double the recipe and serve it in a martini glass. The world is yours!
• You can absolutely add whipped cream to the top of this shot if desired.
• If you want to use a garnish of 1-2 pieces of cereal, I would definitely use the whipped cream to both hold it on and make it a nicer presentation (personally, I don’t think it needs a cereal garnish, but if you love it I support you).

What is Fireball made of?

Fireball is a Canadian whiskey that is sweetened and flavored with cinnamon. It’s technically not whiskey because the ABV is 33% (whiskey must be 40% or higher). All the same, it’s a sweet, cinnamon flavored whiskey that is extremely popular and fun to mix into cocktails.

What is RumChata made of?

RumChata is a sweet, creamy rum beverage. It’s made of a mixture of Caribbean rum and Wisconsin dairy. It tastes like cinnamon, vanilla, cream and rum.
