Salty Balls Shot Recipe
The Salty Balls Shot Recipe is smooth, creamy, sweet, and salty with peanut butter whiskey, caramel vodka, and Irish cream.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Shot glasses
- Jigger or measuring tool
- Ice cubes
- Small plate (for salt rim)
- Spoon for garnish if desired
Ingredients
- 2 ounces peanut butter whiskey
- 2 ounces Irish cream liqueur
- 1 ounce butterscotch schnapps
- 1 ounce salted caramel vodka
- Ice cubes
- Coarse salt for the rim
- Caramel sauce for garnish optional
Optional Garnishes
- Crushed peanuts
- Mini chocolate chips
- Drizzle of caramel sauce
- Whipped cream
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Shot Glasses
- Take your shot glasses and lightly dip the rims into caramel sauce. Then dip them into coarse salt. This salty rim really elevates the drink and gives that signature sweet-and-salty contrast.
Step 2: Fill the Shaker
- Add ice cubes to your cocktail shaker until it’s about halfway full.
Step 3: Pour the Ingredients
- Add the peanut butter whiskey, Irish cream, butterscotch schnapps, and salted caramel vodka.
Step 4: Shake Well
- Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. You want the mixture to become very cold and slightly frothy.
Step 5: Pour and Serve
- Strain evenly into prepared shot glasses.
Step 6: Garnish
- If you want to make the presentation extra fun, drizzle caramel sauce on top or sprinkle crushed peanuts.
- Serve immediately while cold.
