This tasty little shot is a fun way to get your party started.
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.
★ Ingredients You'll Need ★
You need just two ingredients to create this shot!
- Kahlúa. A coffee flavored rum liquor. Made with actual coffee, another great reason this works well for a brunch.
- Orange juice. I prefer pulp-free but if you want something thicker, pulp works too. You can even squeeze your own oranges for a fresh-crafted shot.
That's it!
★ How to Make this Recipe ★
This shot comes together quickly by shaking Kahlúa and orange juice with ice to chill, then pouring out to serve.
