What You’ll Need

Ingredients:

1 oz Strawberries & Cream Irish Cream
1 oz Loopy Vodka
Crushed Fruit Loops (for rimming)

Tools:

Shot Glass
Cocktail Shaker
Ice
Small Plate or Bowl (for rimming)

How to Make the Fruit Loop Frenzy Shot

Ready to whip up this colorful treat? Follow these simple steps:

Crush the Fruit Loops: Start by placing a handful of Fruit Loops in a resealable bag. Using a rolling pin or the bottom of a sturdy glass, gently crush the cereal into fine crumbs. If you want a finer texture, you can also pulse it in a food processor. The goal is to create a colorful, powdery mix that will coat the rim of your shot glass.
Prepare the Rim: Pour a small amount of water, simple syrup, or honey onto a plate. Dip the rim of your shot glass into the liquid to lightly moisten it. Then, press the rim into the crushed Fruit Loops, twisting gently to ensure an even coating. Set the glass aside while you prepare the drink.
Shake It Up: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice to ensure your drink is perfectly chilled. Add the Strawberries & Cream Irish Cream and Loopy Vodka to the shaker. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This will not only mix the ingredients but also create a slightly frothy texture that makes the shot even more appealing.
Pour and Serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared shot glass, making sure not to disturb the colorful rim.
Garnish (Optional): For an extra fun touch, thread a few whole Fruit Loops onto a mini skewer or cocktail stick and rest it across the rim of the glass. This not only adds visual appeal but also gives your guests a little edible garnish to enjoy.

Tips to Elevate Your Fruit Loop Frenzy Shot

To make your Fruit Loop Frenzy Shots even more special, consider these tips and tricks:

Make It a Mocktail: If you’re hosting a party with guests who don’t drink alcohol, you can easily create a non-alcoholic version of this shot. Replace the vodka with a fruity syrup and the Irish cream with regular cream or milk mixed with a splash of strawberry syrup. It’s just as fun and delicious without the booze!
Experiment with Flavors: Not a fan of Strawberries & Cream Irish Cream? No problem! Try using a vanilla-flavored cream liqueur, or experiment with other fruity liqueurs like peach schnapps or orange liqueur for a different twist.
Add a Pop of Color: While Fruit Loops are the classic choice, you can mix things up by using other colorful cereals like Fruity Pebbles or Trix. These options will still give you that fruity crunch while adding their unique spin to the presentation.
Serve in Unique Glassware: Make this shot even more memorable by serving it in mini milk bottles or fun novelty shot glasses. It’s all about the details when creating a party showstopper!

Perfect Pairings

The Fruit Loop Frenzy Shot is a sweet treat on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a variety of party foods and desserts. If you’re hosting a brunch or breakfast-themed gathering, consider serving these shots alongside mini pancake stacks or French toast bites. The creamy, fruity flavors of the shot complement the warm, comforting flavors of breakfast foods beautifully. For dessert, pair this shot with fruity treats like strawberry shortcake, fruit tarts, or even a bowl of vanilla ice cream topped with crushed Fruit Loops. The possibilities are endless, and the key is to embrace the playful and colorful theme of this drink.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular vodka instead of Loopy Vodka?
Absolutely! While Loopy Vodka adds a fruity cereal flavor that ties the shot together, you can use plain vodka if that’s what you have on hand. To mimic the fruity flavor, consider adding a splash of fruit syrup or a few drops of fruit-flavored extract to the mix.

What’s a good alternative to Strawberries & Cream Irish Cream?
If you can’t find Strawberries & Cream Irish Cream or simply prefer a different flavor, try using a vanilla cream liqueur, a fruity schnapps, or even a coconut cream liqueur for a tropical twist.

Can I make this shot ahead of time?
It’s best to prepare and serve these shots fresh for the best flavor and presentation. However, you can crush the Fruit Loops and rim the glasses ahead of time to save on prep work during the party.
