Notes

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
  • Cake Vodka: I prefer Pinnacle. Vanilla or whipped vodka will also work in a pinch. 
  • White Chocolate Liqueur: I always grab Godiva.
  • Frosting: Use homemade or store-bought. I like to use frosting from my grocery store's bakery for the ultimate birthday cake experience. 
  • Sprinkles: Use your favorite color, or mix up the sprinkles for different holidays too.
Tips and Tricks
  1. Chill: Chill your ingredients and glasses to keep your cocktail ice cold. 
  2. Cocktail Version: Turn it into a cocktail instead of a shot by topping it off with heavy cream, half and half, or birthday cake coffee creamer. You can also serve it on the rocks for a martini-style cocktail.
  3. Mix It Up: Dye your shots any color by using food coloring to match your party's colors.
  4. Make-Ahead: Make up to 6 hours in advance. Store in the fridge and add whipped cream just before serving.
