Girl Scout Cookie Shot

This girl scout cookie shot is the perfect way to bring a childhood favorite into adulthood! This layered shot combines delicious girl scout cookie flavors in one glass. It’s like eating an entire box of girl scout cookies in just one gulp! The layered shot is creamy and indulgent, with layers of coffee liqueur, peppermint, and cream.

My favorite girl scout cookie is the thin mint. When my great niece comes around to sell cookies, you can bet your sweet bippy that I’ll be ordering a few boxes. I also enjoy the peanut butter cookies.

So, for this party shot, I decided to garnish the rims of the glasses with hot fudge and then dip one in crushed thin mint and one in crushed peanut butter cookie.

True confession: I have a layering problem. When I pour shots, I’m compelled to see if I can layer them. And the fun thing is, I can layer just about every shot I pour.

Would you like to see a few examples of my ‘problem’?

• Snickers
• Christmas
• Chocolate covered cherry
• Jelly bean shot

This girl scout cookie shot has three ingredients and is a fun shot for practicing your layering skills. The layers are clearly delineated, but not so distinct that they don’t leave room for playing around.

The beauty of layering shots is that you don’t have to use a cocktail shaker, but if you prefer not to tackle layering, feel free to add the ingredients to a shaker with ice and after shaking the contents, pour into the shot glasses, but you’ll be missing out.

How to make the girl scout cookie shot

Pre-step

Gather your shot glasses, cocktail spoon and one pourer.

Step one

Get the ingredients – Coffee liqueur, peppermint schnapps and half & half.

How to garnish this shot

Step two

Take whatever cookie you’re going to use and crush it into small chunks and/or fine crumbs. I used a pestle on a small plate. A little goes a long way so you’ll only use a fraction of the cookie.

Step three

Take a little hot fudge sauce on your finger and rub it around 3/4 of the rim of the glasses. Dip the chocolate covered rims into the cookie crumbs then shake each glass and set aside.

Step four

Measure .50 ounce of coffee liqueur and pour it in the glasses. Be sure not to pour it over the garnish.

The liquid should be a third of the way up the glass.

Step five

Place a pourer in the peppermint schnapps bottle. Put a cocktail spoon with the bowl side up in and against the shot glass and slowly pour the peppermint schnapps over the back of the spoon into the glass.

You can see the different layers in the middle and right glasses but not so much in the left glass.

Step six

Pour half & half in a small measuring cup with a spout and place the cocktail spoon again bowl side up in and against the glass and gently and slowly pour the half & half over the bowl and into the glass.

I like the look of the cream infiltrating the schnapps layer in the front glass. What about you?

Let’s look at the vertical view of the thin mint shooter.

You can see that the cream stayed put in this front glass. See the difference between the three glasses? Interesting, isn’t it?

I hope you enjoyed this girl scout cookie shot recipe! It’s yummy like the thin mint cookie.

And as always, may all your dishes be delish!
