The whipped cream adds a velvety texture, and the pink sugar provides an extra hint of sweetness with a pop of color that makes them stand out on any party table.

Ingredients for Banana Cream Pie Shots

To make these fun and flavorful shots, you’ll need 1 oz Banana Liqueur (which provides that signature banana cream pie flavor), 1.5 oz Melon Liqueur (which adds a refreshing and slightly tangy sweetness), 1 oz Pineapple Juice (which brings a tropical touch that enhances the overall flavor), Whipped Cream (for a creamy, dessert-like finish), and Pink Sugar (for garnish to add color and extra sweetness).

What You’ll Need

You’ll need a cocktail shaker to mix and chill the ingredients, shot glasses for serving, a strainer to ensure a smooth pour, and a measuring jigger to get the perfect ratios.

How to Make Banana Cream Pie Shots

Step 1: Combine Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the banana liqueur, melon liqueur, and pineapple juice.

Step 2: Shake Well

Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds until it’s well chilled.

Step 3: Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture evenly into shot glasses.

Step 4: Garnish

Top each shot with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle pink sugar over the whipped cream for a touch of sweetness and a pop of color.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly! These shots are best when fresh and chilled.

Serving Suggestions

These Banana Cream Pie Shots pair beautifully with chocolate-covered strawberries for a decadent contrast to the fruity flavors, mini vanilla cupcakes to enhance the dessert-like experience, coconut macaroons for an extra tropical touch, or a fresh fruit platter to complement the bright, fruity flavors of the shots. You can also serve them alongside other party-friendly shots like these Malibu Watermelon Rum Jello Shots for a fun and colorful lineup.

Tips for the Best Banana Cream Pie Shots

For extra-refreshing shots, use chilled ingredients. This helps keep the drink icy cold without watering it down too much. If you want to get creative with garnishes, try crushed graham crackers for a pie-like effect or a drizzle of caramel for extra indulgence. If you’re serving a crowd, mix up a large batch in a pitcher and pour into shot glasses as needed. If you prefer a slightly less sweet shot, reduce the banana liqueur slightly and add a splash of lemon juice to balance out the flavors. Experimenting with different liqueur brands can also slightly alter the taste, allowing you to fine-tune it to your preference.

How to Store Leftover Ingredients

While these shots are best enjoyed fresh, you can store any extra ingredients for future use. Banana & Melon Liqueur should be stored in a cool, dark place for long-term use. Pineapple Juice should be refrigerated after opening and used within a few days for optimal freshness. Whipped Cream should be kept refrigerated and used before the expiration date. If you have leftover mixed shot liquid, you can store it in the refrigerator for a few hours, but it’s always best freshly shaken.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make these alcohol-free?

Yes! Substitute the banana and melon liqueurs with banana syrup and melon syrup, and use a splash of club soda for a fizzy twist.

What if I don’t have pink sugar?

No problem! You can use colored sprinkles, crushed graham crackers, or even a dusting of cinnamon for a unique touch.

Can I make these in advance?

It’s best to prepare these right before serving to keep them fresh and chilled. However, you can pre-mix the liquid ingredients and store them in the fridge for up to a few hours before serving.

What other flavors can I try?

Feel free to experiment! Try swapping the melon liqueur for coconut rum for a more tropical vibe, or add a splash of vanilla vodka for extra depth. You can also check out these Strawberry Daiquiri Jello Shots for another delicious fruit-forward party shot.
