Ingredients for Thanksgiving Shots
Gather these simple ingredients to get started on your Thanksgiving shots. You’ll need:
- 1 oz pumpkin pie vodka
- 1 oz butterscotch schnapps
- 1 oz whipped cream vodka
- 1 oz cream soda
These measurements are perfect for creating four delightful shots. Don’t worry if you’re not used to measuring out liquids—just grab a jigger or a shot glass, and you’ll be set! Each ingredient plays a crucial role in bringing those festive flavors to life, so make sure to stick to these amounts for the best experience.
How to Prepare Thanksgiving Shots
Alright, let’s get those Thanksgiving shots ready to impress your friends and family! The first thing you’ll want to do is chill your shot glasses. Trust me, this little step makes a big difference in keeping your drinks refreshing! Pop them in the freezer for about 10 minutes while you prep the rest. Next, grab a cocktail shaker and pour in the pumpkin pie vodka and butterscotch schnapps. Give it a good shake, around 15-20 seconds should do the trick, until everything is nicely combined. Now, strain that delicious mixture into your chilled shot glasses—about halfway full. Here comes the fun part: gently layer the whipped cream vodka on top. You can do this by pouring it over the back of a spoon, which creates that beautiful layered effect. Finally, finish it off with a splash of cream soda for that fizzy touch. Serve these beauties immediately for the best taste!

Tips for Success
To ensure your Thanksgiving shots are a hit, here are some pro tips! First off, make sure all your ingredients are chilled before you start. This helps keep the shots refreshing and enjoyable. If you find the mixture a bit too sweet for your taste, don’t hesitate to adjust the amounts of butterscotch schnapps or cream soda. You can even add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra festive twist! And remember, these shots are best served immediately—once they’re mixed, get them into your hands (and your friends’ hands) right away for the ultimate experience!
Variations on Thanksgiving Shots
If you want to mix things up a bit with your Thanksgiving shots, there are so many fun variations to try! Consider swapping out the pumpkin pie vodka for apple pie vodka for a different take on fall flavors. You can also add a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon to the mixture for that warm, spiced touch. Feeling adventurous? Try using ginger ale instead of cream soda for a zesty twist! The possibilities are endless, so get creative and have fun with it!

Storage & Reheating Instructions
These Thanksgiving shots are best enjoyed fresh, so I recommend serving them right after you make them for the ultimate experience.

FAQ Section
Got questions about Thanksgiving shots? I’ve got you covered! First off, can you make these shots ahead of time? Well, it’s best to whip them up fresh just before serving to keep that delightful layered effect and fizzy goodness. If you want to prep in advance, you can mix the vodka and schnapps but wait to layer and add the cream soda until you’re ready to serve.
Now, what if you can’t find pumpkin pie vodka? No worries! You can totally substitute it with vanilla vodka or even caramel vodka for a tasty twist. Just keep the butterscotch schnapps to maintain that sweet flavor profile.
And yes, these shots are vegan! They’re made from spirits and soda, so you can enjoy them without any animal products. Cheers to that! If you have more questions, feel free to ask—I love sharing my tips!
