Frosting Shots – this easy cocktail recipe has just two ingredients, vodka and frosting! They’re the perfect dessert drink recipe especially for a birthday.
A few weeks ago a good friend of mine turned 40 and we threw her a party with our closest friends. She’s a mom of 3 boys and rarely gets to feel girly (it’s all baseball and basketball and rough and tumble over at her house) so we pampered her with an extra girly evening full of flowers and food and fun.
I was in charge of desserts for the party (obviously, when am I not?) and I made an assortment of thinks like red velvet cake, lemon tarts, and drunk cherries. (PSA, if you make those cherries I urge you to re-think soaking them for a full week before serving or you will go from 0 to drunk in no time at all!) I’d originally planned to make lots of flowery decorations for her cake using canned frosting (the cake was frosted with the real stuff) but then I got lazy and did my default rosette pattern instead. I found myself with a can of frosting and as I was setting up the bar I thought…why not mix FROSTING with VODKA?
Sometimes I’m a genius.
These shots were so easy and so good – everyone loved them. The birthday girl drank more than a few!
I did a few trial ones as singles to taste but I found that it was better (and almost easier) to make a few shots at once instead of one at a time.
The first time I made them, I just tried to shake frosting with the vodka, which left clumps. Then, when I was making them for the dessert table, I wanted to have several prepared at once. I decided to melt the frosting a little bit before adding the vodka and it worked wonderfully.
