mint chocolate cookies or fresh mint (optional garnish)
Instructions
Combine all of the ingredients in a shaker and give it a good shake for a few seconds.
Immediately pour into a shot glass.
Top with a cookie or fresh mint, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Drink these fast as they can settle a little bit if left sitting for too long. They’re the best if taken right after mixing, but they’re still amazing even if they’ve settled.
The flavor tastes like a strong eggnog at first, and then the perfect chocolate mint flavor quickly follows. It’s a fun and rich shot.
The fresh mint would be more for looks than anything, so it’s up to you if you include it. The chocolate mint cookie is a fun snack addition to match the shot.
You can use Kahlua in place of Bailey’s if desired, but due to the difference in colors, the Kahlua will result in a brown-colored shot rather than a greener shot.
You can add ice to the shaker before combining, but I prefer just chilling the ingredients before use instead of using ice. It keeps the shot from being watered down and keeps the shot from frothing up a bit.
