What is a Oatmeal Cookie Shot?

An oatmeal cookie shot is a combination of equal parts butterscotch schnapps, Fireball and Irish cream. This shot not only tastes like a sweet and creamy oatmeal cream pie, but it also smells like one.

Fireball whiskey is a type of whiskey liqueur that has a strong, spicy cinnamon flavor with a little bit of sweetness. It is a liqueur that’s at around 33% alcohol by volume. Fireball cocktails are popular with their spicy and sweet flavor.

The butterscotch schnapps provides a lot of the cookie flavor in this drink. It has a sweet brown butter and caramelized sugar flavor.

The creamy color of the drink and a little bit of the sweetness comes from the Irish cream. Irish cream is a liqueur that is in mixture of Irish whiskey, sugar and cream.
