This shot recipe tastes just like a gingerbread cookie. It’s the perfect blend of butterscotch schnapps, fireball and heavy cream. Mix all that with some gingerbread syrup for a sweet, spiced shot recipe.

Ingredients
- Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey.
- Buttershots Butterscotch Schnapps.
- Heavy Cream or Half and Half.
- Gingerbread Syrup make homemade gingerbread syrup or pick up a bottle.
Optional Garnish: I garnished the shot glasses with a bit of buttercream icing and crumbled gingerbread cookies. You can also use festive sprinkles as your rim garnish.
Equipment Needed: I used my go-to set of tall shot glasses for this recipe. You will also need a cocktail shaker of some kind. If you don’t own a cocktail shaker you can use a sealed jar or even a water bottle as a shaker.

If you’re planning to garnish your shot glass with a gingerbread crumb rim go ahead and crumble one cookie. My favorite way to do this is to throw it into a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush it.
To rim your shot glass use some buttercream icing to rim the top of the shot glass and then dip it into the gingerbread crumbles.

Tips for Making
- More garnish ideas I think these would be so cute with a garnish of colorful sprinkles. You could save your leftover sprinkles from a cookie making session to use here.
- If you make a batch of gingerbread syrup be sure to also try our gingerbread latte. I think it would also be delicious in tea or a gingerbread steamer for kids (milk and a little gingerbread syrup, steamed).
- If you want to make these shots ahead you can save a pre-made mixture in a bottle in your fridge, but don’t add ice until you are ready to shake and serve them.
