King Cake Shot Recipe

The shot version of this traditional King Cakes offer all the taste and texture of the actual thing. With this drink, you have a cake-flavored vodka as the base, a cream liqueur (either Irish cream or Rumchata) to give it a rich mouthfeel, and cinnamon schnapps, which add a dash to the classic.

It’s deceptively delicious because its sweet taste hides the fact that it contains a lot of alcohol. Although how much liquor is poured for the three liquors can vary depending on the brand, this drink is not as light as a grasshopper, but it is not as heavy as a straight shot of tequila.
