Easy Christmas Shot Recipes (2024)

Christmas is on it’s way and it’s time to have some fun with your friends and family. What better way than with a fancy selection of Christmas Shots?

Easy Christmas Shot Recipes (1)

I’ve got four different flavors on the menu and they all have cheeky names that I made up after drinking. So if they don’t make sense that’s why.

You can pin each individual shot by clicking the Pinterest icon on the Recipe Card.

Bad Santa’s Milk and Cookies

This is my favorite of the bunch. I don’t think there is anyway to go wrong with a RumChata shot.

The most popular recipe on this site is another RumChata shot, the Bone Daddy – Nightmare Before Christmas Shot. Instead of corrupting the sweetness like I did with that one, we’re full on embracing it.

Adding Vanilla Schnapps to cinnamon liqueur takes this all the way to 10. It’s on the sweet side for sure but you need to try it at least once.

I wouldn’t skip the co*cktail shaker with this one, it’s much better cold and you really want the two blended together. Cream liqueurs don’t always want to play nice with clear ones but it’s easy to overcome with a bit of brute force.

Russian Christmas

Easy Christmas Shot Recipes (7)

Eggnog is my favorite Christmas flavor. I love it from November to December then I’m done, it can go back to the north pole and wait until next year.

But having the ‘too much gene’ means those 2 months are absolutely filled with eggnog. I already put it in brandy spike cheesecakes and now I’m adding it to a white Russian.

A tiny white Russian. I have no doubt that this would be delightful scaled up and sipped on the rocks, possibly while watching the Netflix holiday music fireplace. But then it wouldn’t be a Christmas shot so here we are

Christmas Candy

Easy Christmas Shot Recipes (12)

This is the sweetest drink I’ve ever made. It’s on the Elf breakfast level of sweet where it’s almost too much.

Goldschlager is a very strongly flavored sweet cinnamon liqeur, then adding Buttershots, a butterscotch liqueur… It’s pretty tasty but I don’t want to hear any complaints about the sweetness!

I added a little extra holiday cheer with some extra gold flake. That’s not necessary in the slightest but it is pretty fun and a great addition to a holiday party.

  • Edible Gold (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour into shot glass

Hot Chocolate

Easy Christmas Shot Recipes (17)

Hot chocolate is a winter necessity. In my opinion it’s at it’s best topped with a healthy dose of whipped cream and that’s how we ended up with this shot.

This mix of whipped cream vodka and dark creme de cacao is at it’s best chilled. The ingredients blend together easily enough without shaking but I think it’s the fastest way to get things frosty.

Another method is to store your booze in a snowbank.

Notes

This shot is much better cold, it cuts down on the sweetness a bit. Use chilled ingdredients or give them a quick shake with ice for best results

Why does 7UP taste different than Sprite? ›

7Up is often classified as more syrup-y, though some people say it has fruitier overtones as well. Personally, I think of 7Up as being a little more effervescent and sweeter, though that may just be because the restaurant I usually ordered it from as a kid had good soda chemistry in their taps.
