Description

These Twisted Candy Apple Shots are a sweet, tangy, and slightly sour drink inspired by classic candy apples! Made with sour apple liqueur, cinnamon schnapps, and a touch of caramel, these vibrant red and green shots are perfect for Halloween, fall parties, or any festive gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 oz sour apple liqueur (e.g., DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker)
  • 1 oz cinnamon schnapps (e.g., Goldschläger or Fireball for extra warmth)
  • 1/2 oz caramel vodka (or butterscotch schnapps)
  • 1/2 oz cranberry juice (for color and tartness)
  • Ice (for shaking)

For Garnish:

  • Caramel sauce (for rimming)
  • Red sugar or crushed cinnamon candies (for the rim)
  • Apple slice or cinnamon stick (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Rim the Glasses

  1. Dip the rims of shot glasses into caramel sauce, then roll in red sugar or crushed cinnamon candies.

Step 2: Mix the Shot

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Add sour apple liqueur, cinnamon schnapps, caramel vodka, and cranberry juice.
  3. Shake well for 10-15 seconds until chilled.

Notes
