Notes
Variations
- Use whipped cream vodka. Whipped cream vodka and vanilla vodka have a similar flavor. The main difference is whipped cream vodka has a slightly creamy flavor as well.
- Use cake vodka. Cake vodka tastes quite similar to yellow cake. It would be a good substitute for the vanilla vodka to still get that cake like flavor in the shot.
- Cranberry juice. Some recipes for this shot call for cranberry juice instead of pineapple juice. It does help maintain the red flavor of the shot, however cranberry juice is much less sweet than pineapple juice so the resulting shot is a little more tart.
- Use cherry juice. If you really want to ramp up the cherry flavor in this shot, replace the pineapple juice with a sweetened or unsweetened cherry juice.
