What is a mini beer shot?
A mini beer shot tastes almost like a vanilla ice cream with a kick of cinnamon to it which warms as it goes down. They are essentially a shot that looks exactly like a miniature beer but contains no beer.

These shots are perfect for parties and celebrations and are sure to be the talk of your gathering. Imagine having these at your next super bowl party or even a bachelor party or St Patrick’s Day party.
