• Vanilla Vodka: Use vanilla vodka, cake vodka or whipped cream vodka. All of these flavors will give the shot a sweet, wedding cake flavor.
• Lemon Slice & Sugar: You’ll need a small lemon slice or wedge and some sugar. The sugared lemon slice is served with the shot and can be taken before or after drinking the shooter.

How To Make A Wedding Cake Shot

Step 1: Add the vanilla vodka and Frangelico to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain.

Step 2: Dip the lemon slice into sugar. Place the lemon slice on top of the shot glass.

Expert Tips

• Use holiday shot glasses. If you are making this shooter for the holidays, try serving it in fun holiday themed shot glasses. 
• Add in some amaretto. For a bit of a flavor variation, try adding in a dash of amaretto for a bit of almond flavor.
