How to Make Fruit Loop Frenzy Shots

Here’s the step-by-step guide to creating these delightful shots:

Step 1: Crush the Fruit Loops

Take a handful of Fruit Loops and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or muddler. Spread the crumbs onto a small plate.

Step 2: Rim the Glass

Dip the rim of your shot glass into a bit of water or syrup to make it sticky. Then, press it into the crushed Fruit Loops, rotating gently to ensure an even coating.

Step 3: Mix the Drink

Fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Add 1 oz of strawberries & cream Irish cream and 1 oz of Loopy vodka. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.

Step 4: Pour & Serve

Strain the mixture into your prepared shot glass. The creamy pastel color of the drink against the vibrant rim creates a stunning visual effect!

Step 5: Garnish & Enjoy

For an extra touch, thread a few whole Fruit Loops onto a cocktail skewer and balance it on top of the glass. Raise your glass and toast to sweet, fruity fun! 🥂

Tips for Making the Perfect Fruit Loop Frenzy Shot

Chill Your Glass: For an extra-refreshing drink, pop your shot glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving.
Experiment with Rims: If you don’t have Fruit Loops, try using colorful sprinkles, crushed fruity candies, or even powdered sugar for a unique twist.
Adjust the Sweetness: If you find the drink too sweet, add a splash of soda water or fresh lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Scale It Up: Hosting a party? Multiply the ingredients and serve the shots on a colorful tray for a show-stopping presentation.
