Ingredients

Icy Snowballs (White Shots)

Peppermint Bark (Green or Red Shot)

  • 1 ounce Peppermint Bark Cream Liqueur
  • teaspoon Red or Green Edible Drink Glitter

The Grinch (Green Shots)

Jolly Fireballs (Red Shots)

Optional Shot Glass Garnishes

Instructions

  • Take the top off the booze ball ornament, and the easy way to fill them is the put the ornament in a small shot glass to hold it up and use a funnel while pouring.
  • Add ⅛ teaspoon of the edible drink glitter to each shot. Use a little funnel, and pour in 1 oz of alcohol up to the neck of the bottle and close with the screw top and place an ornament hook onto the Christmas tree.
  • Give it a good shake to mix the drink glitter, it does settle fairly quickly.

Ways To Enjoy Shots

  • Decorate the rim of each shot glass. Dip into Jet Puffed Marshmallow Cream, then either red sprinkles, green sprinkles, or crushed peppermint candy cane sprinkles.
  • Pour shots into shot glasses rimmed with festive sprinkles!
  • Pour the shot into the glass and drink or mix the shots into cocktails. Put out some glasses, ice, and mixers like gingerale, club soda, or 7up.
  • Pour into a cup of hot coffee or hot cocoa, the peppermint and fireball ones are really good for coffee drinks.

Notes

Shot  Color Tips

Rum, Coconut Rum, or Vodka work great with red, green, or white drink glitter.  The Peppermint Bark Cream Liqueur (Pennsylvania Dutch Brand) works with red or green drink glitter but not white drink glitter, it is hard to see the sparkle.

Edible Drink Glitter

Only use safe edible drink glitter for your shots. There are many colors available online. You will need to shake the ornament shots, the edible drink glitter sinks to the bottom within a few minutes.
