Ingredients

Here is what you will need:

• Caramel vodka. Vodka infused with the taste of caramel. We used Smirnoff Kissed Caramel.
• Apple cider. Musselman’s or your favorite brand.
• Sour apple mixer. Adds apple taste and green color (check price on Amazon)
• Caramel sauce. Homemade caramel sauce is best but if I am picking it up at the store I love Smucker’s Caramel Sundae Syrup’s pourable bottle.
• Apple slice. Optional garnish.
• 2 ounce shot glass. We used tall shot glasses like these.

How to make a caramel apple shot

1. Dip rim of shot glass in caramel.
2. Fill with caramel vodka, apple cider, and sour apple mixer.
3. Top with a fresh apple slice.

Recipe Tips

• Make sure that your ingredients are chilled so that you get a nice cold shot.
• To get the caramel to drip down the sides of the shot glass as shown just give the rim a thick coat of caramel sauce so that it will drip down when the shot glass is turned right-side up.
• Add a drop of green food coloring to give the shots more of a green color.
• Making shots for a crowd? Mix up the shots in a cocktail shaker in the following ratio: 2 parts caramel vodka, 1 part apple cider, 1 part sour apple mixer.
