    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.

    Mini beer shots are super easy to make. They are essentially a layered shot made with two simple ingredients: heavy cream and licor 43.

    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.

    Other St Patricks cocktails are: Irish Trash Can, Incredible Hulk shot, Melon Ball Cocktail

    What is Licor 43?

    Licor 43 is a Spanish liqueur. Possibly not surprisingly it is made with 43 ingredients. This liqueur is a golden color similar to the color of beer.

    It has a strong vanilla taste. There are also notes of cinnamon and citrus (namely orange). It is a sweet tasting liqueur and is very smooth and warm going down.

    How to make this drink:

    This two ingredient layered shot is super easy to make. You just have to hold your hand steady while you layer your ingredients.
