Pumpkin Pie Shot Recipe

Pumpkin-y, Sweet, and Spiced.

This shooter makes for a great after-dinner treat or the perfect way to start a Halloween party. It's pumpkin pie in a mini glass!

There's notes of pumpkin, butterscotch, whipped cream, and pumpkin pie spice. Not only are these shooters tasty they are also really cute.

I mean they are topped with whipped cream, graham crackers, and pumpkin pie spice. Where could it go wrong?!

If you are one of those folks that thinks pumpkin pie should be around all year long then this shooter is for you!

Pumpkin Pie Shooter Recipe: Ingredients

✽ Pumpkin Spice Irish Cream: It's Irish cream but make it pumpkin-y! This adds in the pumpkin flavors and the cream flavors all into one!

✽ Pupmkin Vodka: I'm not a big flavored vodka fan, but this vodka is great to have around in your cabinet when fall rolls around. It really makes the pumpkin flavor in this shooter pop!

✽ Butterscotch Schnapps: I tried this shooter without schnapps. I tried it with caramel instead too, but I always just came back to the shooter that had butterscotch schnapps added to it. It definitely makes this shooter taste just like autumn!

✽ Whipped Cream Vodka: Adds in a bit of sweetness to complete the pumpkin pie flavor.

✽ Whipping Cream: I guess you could leave off the whipped cream on the top, but I highly recommend you don't. The shooters without the whipped cream were definitely missing something. Just like the pumpkin pie slice that doesn't have whipped cream on top is missing something.

✽ Graham Cracker Crumbs + Pumpkin Pie Spice: These toppings make this shooter even better and taste even more like the real deal!

What to Serve with Pumpkin Pie Shooters

β€’ Cooking Challenge Dinner; This pumpkin pie shooter was a part of my 31 days of Halloween. For dinner, we had a random fall-ish ingredients and had to create a meal with them. This pumpkin pie shooter was the perfect dessert afterwards.

β€’ Peanut Butter Whiskey Sour; A peanut butter whisky sour would be a great cocktail to sip on after this shooter to keep up with the fall vibes!

Pumpkin Pie Shot Recipe: Questions

✽ I can't find pumpkin spice Irish cream. What can I substitute?

Any pumpkin spice liqueur will taste great in this shooter! You could also increase the amount of pumpkin vodka and add in a splash of regular Irish cream.

✽ Is the whipped cream necessary?

YES! Okay, you could leave it off, but you'll sacrifice some of that amazing flavor. The whipped cream helps tone down the pumpkin pie spice flavor and balances it all out. So I guess it could be optional, but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for the best pumpkin pie shot results.
