    Ingredient Notes

    See the printable recipe card below for exact measurements.

    All the ingredients needed to make cinnamon toast crunch shots.
    • RumChata: A creamy, horchata-inspired liqueur made with real dairy cream and Mexican spices. It gives these shots their sweet, creamy flavor.
    • Cinnamon Flavored Whisky: Fireball is our go-to, but any cinnamon whiskey works. Fireball is also great in recipes like my Fireball Jello Shots, perfect for parties and game nights.
    • Cinnamon/Sugar: Mix 2 parts sugar with 1 part cinnamon to rim the shot glasses for that classic sweet-cinnamon flavor.

    Variations & Tips

    • Non-Alcoholic Version: Swap the RumChata for milk or cinnamon cream syrup and the Fireball for cinnamon syrup.
    • Batch Version: Multiply the ingredients for parties and keep the mixture chilled in a pitcher until ready to serve.
    • Garnish Ideas: Sprinkle crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal on top, add whipped cream, or use a little corn syrup to help the crushed cereal stick to the rim.
    • Another Cinnamon Drink: For another sweet cinnamon drink, try my Cinnamon Roll Cocktail!
    • Holiday Parties: If you’re planning a Christmas gathering, my RumChata Christmas Cocktails are another creamy drink option made with RumChata.
    • Pro Tip: Shake with ice and chill your shot glasses beforehand for an extra cold, creamy sip.

      Kristin, thank you for posting this recipe! My husband’s side of our family has a reunion every November, and one of the highlights is the Greedy Grab gift basket exchange. Some call it a White Elephant Exchange. My basket for 2023 included jars of homemade pre-mixed cocktails. A pint jar of your Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shots was nestled in with a jar of Manhattans and a jar of Bloody Marys. Your Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shots were the star of the Grab. Forget the other jars LOL 😆 Everyone wanted the basket because of the Cinnamon Toast. 2024’s basket will be a 16-ounce flip-top bottle of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shots, a jar of cinnamon sugar, and a cocktail shaker. 🍸 Again thank you for posting this recipe 😀
