How to Make a Salted Nut Roll Shot
Just look at how simple it is to make this creamy, nutty shot.


If rimming, add caramel sauce to one plate and salt to another.
Dip the rim of your shot glass to the caramel and then to the salt, or sprinkle along the edges while holding the glass horizontally.
In a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice pour whiskey, vodka and RumChata.
Shake until chilled and strain into a shot glass.
Hint: Chill your shot glasses before serving for a smooth, creamy experience.

Recipe Tips
- Shaken/Stirred: Shake well to create a frothy, creamy texture and fully combine the ingredients.
- Glass: Any shot glass is great, but you can also pour a double batch over ice in a lowball.
- Garnish: Use thick caramel sauce or peanut butter so the salt sticks evenly to the rim of the shot glass.
- Dessert-Like Feel: Top with whipped cream and crushed peanuts.
- Taste Before You Pour: Everyone's sweet tooth is different, give it a quick taste before serving and adjust with a splash of cream if needed.
