What you’ll need for this recipe

RumChata: I love RumChata as it’s one of the best-tasting cream liquor. Made with Caribbean Rum and real dairy cream, it’s smooth and creamy with a perfect amount of cinnamon flavor.

Fireball Whiskey: Fireball is a classic choice for this recipe as it has cinnamon flavoring and sweeteners. 

Simple Syrup: We use syrup to wet the shot glass so it’ll be sticky. You can use store-bought version or make your own by bringing equal parts sugar and water to a boil in a pot. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and let it chill.

Cinnamon toast crunch cereal: We use the crushed cinnamon toast cereal to rim the edges. Alternatively, you can use cinnamon sugar for this recipe.

Storage tip: There’s no need to refrigerate RumChata or whiskey, whether it’s sealed or already opened.  Keep them tightly closed and store in a cool, dark area. The ideal storage temp is between 50-75°F (10-24°C) , so a cabinet in the pantry or kitchen is all you need.

How to make cinnamon toast crunch shot

  1. Place cinnamon toast crunch cereal in a zip-top bag. Crush them into crumbs with a rolling pin. Then pour the crumbs onto a small plate.
  2. Wet the rim of the shot glass with simple syrup, and then lower rim into the crushed cereal and rotate until covered. Set the shot glasses aside.
  3. Add ice to a cocktail shaker, and then pour in RumChata and Fireball.
  4. Secure the lid. Hold the shaker with both hands and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
  5. Strain into the rimmed shot glasses.
Pouring the mixture into a shot glass.

RumChata to Fireball Ratio

Traditionally cinnamon toast crunch shot has equal parts of RumChata and Fireball whiskey, and I love my shot with this 1:1 ratio. You can adjust the ratio to your own preference. 

Pro tip: The color of your drink becomes darker and the flavor gets sweeter as you increase the amount of Fireball whiskey.

Cinnamon toast crunch pudding shot

A fun twist to this recipe is to make it into cinnamon toast crunch pudding shot. Just add vanilla pudding mix, milk, RumChata and Fireball to a bowl and mix together. Pour into shot glasses and refrigerate for 2 hours.
