🛒 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots):
🍌 Alcohol Base:
1 part Banana Liqueur (like 99 Bananas or DeKuyper Crème de Banana)
1 part Tequila Rose (or any strawberry cream liqueur)
1 part White Chocolate Liqueur (such as Godiva or Mozart)
🍦 Toppings:
Whipped Cream (store-bought or homemade)
Sprinkles (rainbow, chocolate, or banana-split themed)
Maraschino Cherries (optional but classic)
Mini chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, or graham cracker crumbs (for an extra-decadent rim)
Banana or strawberry slices, for garnish (optional)
🥄 Equipment Needed:
Cocktail shaker (or jar with a lid)
Ice
Shot glasses (2 oz size works best)
Plate or saucer for decorating rims (optional)
🍹 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Prep Your Shot Glasses:
Place your shot glasses in the freezer for 10–15 minutes for that extra chill factor. If you’re feeling fancy, dip the rims in banana liqueur and then into sprinkles or crushed cookies to decorate.
2️⃣ Mix the Magic:
In a cocktail shaker:
Fill halfway with ice.
Add 1 part banana liqueur, 1 part Tequila Rose, and 1 part white chocolate liqueur.
Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds, until the outside of the shaker gets frosty and cold.
3️⃣ Pour and Decorate:
Strain the liquid evenly into chilled shot glasses.
Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
Add sprinkles, a maraschino cherry, and/or a banana slice for flair.
Optional: Serve each with a mini spoon or skewer of fruit or candy for a fun garnish!
✨ Extra Fun Variations:
🍫 Chocolate Lover’s Dream:
Swap white chocolate liqueur for dark chocolate liqueur and add a drizzle of chocolate syrup to the inside of the glass.
🍍 Tropical Split:
Use pineapple liqueur instead of white chocolate and garnish with toasted coconut flakes.
🍓 Frozen Split:
Blend the base alcohols with ice and a splash of cream for a thick frozen shot. Serve in mini dessert cups with a spoon.
🧃 Non-Alcoholic Version:
Mix:
1 part banana milk
1 part strawberry milk
1 part white chocolate milk (or vanilla almond milk)
Top with whipped cream and sprinkles — perfect for kids or mocktail hour!
🧊 Tips for Success:
Shake, don’t stir: You want that silky, creamy texture only shaking can deliver.
Serve immediately: These are best chilled and fresh. If needed, store the mixed base in the fridge and shake with ice just before serving.
Make it a platter: Line up different shot glass toppings — chopped nuts, crushed candy, chocolate syrup — and let your guests customize their own dessert shooter.
Make ahead: You can pre-mix the alcohol base and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake with ice when ready to serve.
🥂 Serving Ideas:
Birthday bar: Line up trays of Strawberry Split Shots on a cake stand with candles or sparklers for the ultimate grown-up party moment.
Brunch Dessert: Serve alongside French toast sticks or mini waffles.
Girls’ Night: Pair with chocolate-dipped strawberries and a rom-com. 💅
