What I love most about this shot is that it's made with orange juice and Kahlúa, a coffee liqueur. So if you are hosting a party and are already planning to serve mimosas, this is a great sidekick since the Tootsie Roll shot also uses orange juice.

This is a shot that works well for a brunch because of the tie in with mimosas, but can also be brought out to celebrate birthdays or other special occasions.

This shot comes together quickly by shaking Kahlúa and orange juice with ice to chill, then pouring out to serve.
