What is a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot?

This Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot is a refreshing cocktail that melds RumChata’s creamy, velvety depth with the nutty punch of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey.

This shot isn’t typically served in most bars, so it’s something you would usually make at home, but it’s a drink worth making for parties as it will surely impress!

Ingredients

• 1 oz Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
• 1 oz RumChata
• Ground Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (for garnish)
• Honey or simple syrup (for rimming)

How To Make Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot

Step 1:

Pour a small amount of honey or simple syrup onto a small plate. On a separate plate, spread out your crushed cereal.

Step 2:

Dip each shot glass rim first in the honey or syrup, then add the crushed cereal to create a decorated rim.

Step 3:

You’ll want to stir it up well to keep the flavors intact. For an extra special finishing twist, sprinkle some cinnamon powder over each shot before pouring.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Shot glasses
• Plates (for rimming)
• Cocktail shaker
• Ice cubes
• Measuring jigger or small measuring cup

Tips from Julia

• Add some cinnamon powder over the shot at the end as an extra garnish.
• Pour cereal into a plastic bag and roll it over with a rolling pin to crush.
• For extra coolness, serve chilled shot glasses in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.

How to Store Leftovers

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container or bottle for up to 2 days. Shake again well before using it to make sure everything is mixed well. When it comes to the garnishes they are best served fresh so I would not bother about storing them.

What pairs well with Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot

This shot pairs beautifully with many different desserts. Try serving it alongside fresh cinnamon rolls, warm churros, or homemade snickerdoodle cookies for an extra special treat.

It’s also great with creamy desserts like classic cheesecake or Yuzu Ice Cream. Serve it with a charcuterie board featuring sweet fruits and candied nuts for a twist.
