What is a Girl Scout Cookie Shot?

A girl scout cookie shot is a combination of peppermint schnapps, Kahlua and Irish cream. It tastes just like a thin mint cookie full of chocolate and minty deliciousness.

The Kahlua and Irish cream both contribute a sweet, rich and creamy flavor to the shot. They both also contribute a chocolatey flavor. The peppermint schnapps, as you can probably tell from its name, adds a little zing of mint to the flavor of the shot.

This shot is sweet and decadent and makes it perfect for an after dinner dessert shot. It is sure to be a hit with everyone at any party or celebration.

If you use creme de menthe instead of peppermint schnapps you can make this shot a bright green color making it the perfect treat for any St Patrick’s Day get together.
