If you love dessert drinks, but don’t want something heavy then try out this applesauce shot. With it’s sweet apple flavor, it is perfect for the Fall.

What is an applesauce shot?
An applesauce shot tastes like Grandma’s Apple pie. It has a strong Apple flavor with a kick of cinnamon. This shot is super smooth with no burning all the way down.
A lot of dessert shots tend to be creamy, decadent or heavy, but not this one (or the pineapple upside down shot). With this shot you get sweet apple dessert flavor in a light drink.
When you think of Fall, you might think of pumpkins. But, you probably also think about cinnamon and apples. This pretty dark yellow colored shot with it’s apple flavor is perfect for any Fall occasion. It is also so easy to mix together, it works well for parties and large get togethers.
If you like apple flavors you might also try the Snakebite Drink or the sweet tart shot.
