What Are Scooby Snack Shots?

Scooby Snack Shots are a vibrant and creamy cocktail shooter that tastes like a vacation in a glass. They’re made with coconut rum, melon liqueur, pineapple juice, and heavy cream, then topped with a little whipped cream and a mint leaf for extra flair.

Named after the classic cartoon snack (because they’re just as fun and addictive!), these shots are perfect for parties, game nights, or any gathering that calls for something lighthearted and delicious.

Helpful Tips

Shake it well! You want a smooth, frothy finish from the heavy cream.
Use fresh pineapple juice if you can—it adds extra zing and brightness.
These are best served immediately after making—whipped cream tends to melt fast!

Conservation and Storage

Can I make these ahead? Yes! Mix the liquid ingredients ahead and store them in a sealed container in the fridge. When ready to serve, shake with ice and top with whipped cream.
Shelf life: The mixed (unshaken) base will last up to 24 hours refrigerated. Do not store after adding whipped cream.

Substitutions and Variations

Dairy-Free: Swap heavy cream for coconut cream or almond cream.
No Melon Liqueur? Try a splash of banana liqueur or a fruity schnapps for a twist.
Bigger Batch: Multiply ingredients for a pitcher—shake in portions or stir and serve over ice.
Mocktail Version: Use melon syrup, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and cream—skip the booze!

Storage Instructions

Store the mixed liquid base (before shaking) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Do not add whipped cream or ice until ready to serve. Whipped cream should always be fresh!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I turn this into a cocktail instead of a shot?
Absolutely! Just double the recipe and pour into a chilled martini glass.

Q: Can I skip the heavy cream?
Yes, though it changes the texture. Try a splash of coconut milk or leave it out entirely for a lighter shot.

Q: Can I use canned pineapple juice?
Totally fine! Just make sure it’s not from concentrate for the best flavor.
