Chocolate Cake Shot Recipe

Frangelico: A hazelnut liqueur that provides a rich, nutty flavor to the shot.

Vodka: A clear distilled spirit that adds smoothness and a bit of a kick.

Lemon: Used as a garnish and to add a zesty twist when bitten into after the shot.

Sugar: Used to rim the shot glass, adding a sweet touch to the drink.

When rimming the shot glass with sugar, make sure to moisten the rim with a bit of lemon juice first. This will help the sugar adhere better and create a more even coating.

• frangelico - Substitute with amaretto: Amaretto has a similar nutty flavor profile, making it a good alternative to frangelico.

• vodka - Substitute with white rum: White rum provides a similar neutral base, though it adds a slight sweetness.

• lemon - Substitute with lime: Lime offers a similar tartness and acidity, making it a suitable replacement for lemon.

• sugar - Substitute with honey: Honey can be used to rim the glass, adding a different but pleasant sweetness.

• Ensure your vodka and frangelico are stored in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. This helps maintain their flavors and prevents any degradation.
• If you have leftover lemon slices, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for up to a week.
• For the sugar used in rimming the glass, keep it in a sealed container to avoid clumping and to maintain its granulated texture.
• If you want to pre-rim your shot glasses with sugar, do so just before serving to ensure the sugar remains dry and crisp.
• While it's not common to freeze the chocolate cake shot mixture, you can pre-mix the vodka and frangelico and store them in the freezer. This will give you an extra-chilled shot when you're ready to serve.
• Always use fresh lemon slices for garnishing to ensure the best flavor and presentation.
• If you have pre-mixed the vodka and frangelico, store the mixture in a sealed bottle in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before pouring into shot glasses.
• Avoid storing the pre-mixed shot at room temperature for extended periods as it may affect the taste and quality of the drink.

• Pour the frangelico and vodka into a shot glass.
• Rim the glass with sugar.
• Garnish with a slice of lemon.
• Shoot the drink and then bite into the lemon slice.
