Butterball Cocktail | Bring it on
Drinking this butterball cocktail is like drinking your dessert. Its creamy, buttery taste is so delicious you’ll want to have more than one, so remember to sip.
I conceived this cocktail because I wanted to make a martini-like drink from the layered shot I have made with the same name. I still make the butterball shot. It is one of my favorites and, in my opinion, the tastiest of layered shots.
I know you won’t be surprised since I talk about cocktails and alcohol a lot, but did you know that I’m apt to smell liquor; that is if I won’t be caught and look like a crazy person?
Have you smelled butterscotch schnapps before? So good. Another great-smelling liquor is caramel vodka. Glorious.
I can also be obnoxious by making people smell liquor that I think smells delicious. I know: weird. But people seem to like it and are kind enough to indulge me.
Okaaaaay. Moving on.

Helpful tips
- Use whatever dairy product you prefer. I use the half and half in this recipe when I’m in the mood for a richer-tasting cocktail, but I have made this cocktail with milk when I want a lighter drink and with cream when I want to be decadent.
- Even though Baileys has cream in it, if you don’t want a lot of dairy in the shot, you can also use a non-dairy ‘milk’ by using hemp, soy, or almond milk.
- For an even lighter tasting cocktail, substitute RumChata for Baileys Irish Cream.

Notes
- Use whatever dairy product you prefer. I use the half and half in this recipe when I’m in the mood for a richer tasting cocktail, but I have made this cocktail with milk when I want a lighter drink and with cream when I want to really be decadent
- Even though Baileys has cream in it and if you don’t want a lot of dairy in the shot, you can also use a non-dairy ‘milk’ by using hemp, soy or almond milk.
