What Are Cookies And Cream Shot

Cookies and Cream Shots are a delightful, dessert-style alcoholic beverage that captures the essence of the classic cookies and cream flavor, often associated with the popular combination of Oreo cookies and cream. These shots are usually a mix of ingredients that mimic the taste of this beloved duo, creating a sweet, creamy, and indulgent drink. The recipe typically involves a blend of a cream-based liqueur (like Baileys Irish Cream or a similar product), a chocolate or coffee-flavored liqueur, and sometimes a vanilla vodka to add depth.

In some variations, the shot glasses are rimmed with crushed cookies to enhance the cookies and cream theme. The drink is often layered or shaken with ice and then strained into the prepared glasses. It’s a popular choice for parties and gatherings, especially for those who enjoy dessert-inspired cocktails. The key to a great Cookies and Cream Shot lies in balancing the sweet and creamy elements with the alcohol to create a drink that’s both flavorful and enjoyable.

Remember the step-by-step directions and detailed ingredient list are below, in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, as well as the nutritional information.

• Chocolate Syrup: A drizzle of chocolate syrup inside the glass or over the whipped cream can elevate the visual appeal and flavor for an extra touch of chocolate decadence.
• Oreos: Oreo Cookies: The star of the show, Oreo cookies are crushed into fine crumbs to rim the glasses, offering that classic cookies and cream taste and a delightful texture contrast.
• Irish Cream Liqueur and Chocolate Liqueur: This creamy liqueur provides a smooth, rich base for the shooters, with subtle whiskey notes that complement the sweetness of the other ingredients.
• Half and Half: Adding half and half to the Oreo Cookies and Cream Shots enriches the texture, giving the drink a smooth, creamy consistency that perfectly balances the flavors.
• Heavy Whipping Cream: Heavy whipping cream can be whipped and layered on top of the shot, providing a luxurious, velvety finish that complements the rich flavors of the Oreo and cream mix.
• Oreo Cookies & Cream Instant Pudding Mix: Incorporating Oreo Cookies & Cream instant pudding mix into the shots infuses an intense cookies and cream flavor, ensuring each sip is packed with the delightful essence of everyone’s favorite cookie.

How To Make Oreo Cookies and Cream Shooters

Prepare two small dishes (preferably lipped): one with chocolate syrup and the other with crushed Oreos. Dip the shot glass rim into the chocolate syrup and then coat the rim with the Oreo crumbs.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in the chocolate liqueur, Irish cream, and half and half over the ice. Shake and pour into the shot glass.

Top with whipped cream.

How To Make The Oreo Whipped Cream:

Add the heavy whipping cream and Oreo pudding mix to a medium mixing bowl or bowl of a standing mixer. Use an electric whisk to whip until a thick whipped cream forms.

Recipe Variations

Experimenting with different recipe variations can add exciting new dimensions to your Oreo Cookies and Cream Shooters. Here are some creative twists to try:

• Mint Oreo Shooters: Swap regular Oreos for Mint Oreos and add a splash of crème de menthe for a refreshing minty twist on the classic flavor.
• Mocha Oreo Shooters: Introduce a coffee element by adding a shot of espresso or coffee liqueur. This variation is perfect for coffee lovers and adds a sophisticated touch.
• Peanut Butter Oreo Shooters: For a nutty flavor, mix in a bit of peanut butter or use a peanut butter-flavored liqueur. You could also rim the glasses with crushed peanut butter cookies.
• Strawberry Oreo Shooters: Incorporate strawberry syrup or a dash of strawberry liqueur for a fruity twist. Garnish with a fresh strawberry for an extra touch of elegance.
• White Chocolate Oreo Shooters: Use white chocolate liqueur instead of chocolate liqueur for a sweeter, creamier shooter. White chocolate complements the vanilla notes in the Oreos beautifully.
• Pumpkin Spice Oreo Shooters: Ideal for autumn, mix in a bit of pumpkin spice and use Pumpkin Spice Oreos for a seasonal take on the classic shooter.
• Salted Caramel Oreo Shooters: Add a swirl of salted caramel sauce for a delightful contrast of sweet and salty flavors, enhancing the richness of the Oreo.
• Alcohol-Free Oreo Shooters: For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the liqueurs with flavored syrups like vanilla or chocolate and use extra cream for richness.
• Birthday Cake Oreo Shooters: Use Birthday Cake Oreos and sprinkle some colorful cake sprinkles on top for a fun, festive variation.
• Chocolate Raspberry Oreo Shooters: Add a raspberry liqueur and garnish with fresh raspberries for a berry twist that pairs wonderfully with the chocolate and cream.

Each variation offers a unique flavor profile, allowing you to cater to different tastes and occasions. Have fun experimenting and finding your favorite twist on this deliciously creamy treat!

Recipe Notes

• We used a handheld whisk to whip the Oreo whipped cream, which took about 30-60 seconds. The pudding mix causes the mix to thicken quickly, and timing may vary depending on the maker’s tools.
• The recipe is written for a serving of 2, multiple up or down according to the number of your party.

Notes on Ingredients:

Chocolate syrup: We used the Ghirardelli brand and would recommend it because it’s
slightly more sticky than other brands, such as Torani. However, whatever your favorite
chocolate syrup will do!
Chocolate Liqueur: we used the Godiva brand Irish Cream. We used the Kirkland brand Irish cream, but Bailey’s would be a well-known substitution.
Half and Half: You can use heavy whipping cream instead of half and half. It would make for an extra creamy, delicious drink!

How should I crush the Oreos?

The easiest way to get finely crushed Oreos would be to use a food processor. Add the Oreos (filling and all!) to your processor and pulse quickly, for about 30 seconds, until they form a fine crumb.

Alternatively, you can add the Oreos to a large zip-top bag, seal it, and roll a rolling pin or sturdy glass over the cookies until crushed.

Can I make this drink ahead of time?

The shots are best served immediately. If you wanted to do some prep, you could create a minor pitcher of the mixed alcohols so that when it came time to serve, all you had to do was pour some over ice and shake!

Another way to prep ahead of time would be to crush the Oreos and make the whipped cream. The whipped cream can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for a few days.

How should I pipe the whipped cream onto the shots?

To achieve the look of the whipped cream in the images, add the whipped cream to a piping bag with a star tip: Start by rimming the shot glass with the whipped cream to create a base to build upon as you slowly decrease the size of your spiral. Creating a base will help stop the whipped cream from falling into the shot glass (the whipped cream and pudding together are a bit heavier than your standard can of store-bought whipped cream).

If you don’t want to go through the trouble, a quick dollop of the whipped cream or using some store-bought instead will absolutely do the trick!
