Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
Pour in apple cider, vanilla vodka and cinnamon whisky. Shake until chilled then strain into shot glasses.

Shaken/Stirred: Shaking chills the shot quickly and blends the apple cider, vanilla vodka and cinnamon whisky evenly. No shaker? Stir everything together in a glass, then pour into your shot glasses.
Glass: Obviously, we serve this one in a shot glass. But if you prefer, turn it into a sippable cocktail — just double the recipe and serve it over ice (with cinnamon sticks) in a rocks glass.
Cinnamon Sugar Rim: Dip shot glasses in honey or apple cider, then coat in cinnamon sugar for extra sweetness.
Garnishes: Optionally, top with a swirl of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon or apple pie spice for a festive touch.
Batch It: For parties, multiply the recipe and mix it in a pitcher, then chill it and pour straight into shot glasses, with no shaking needed. If you prefer, you can still shake individual servings with ice.
Serve It Warm: Warm the apple cider first. Then pour it into a heat-safe spouted measuring cup (this makes pouring easier), add the vanilla vodka and cinnamon whisky, give it a quick stir and pour into your shot glasses.
Make It a Mocktail: Skip the vanilla vodka and cinnamon whisky and stir a splash of vanilla extract and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon into the apple cider for the same fall flavors.
Chill Ingredients: Cold apple cider and liquor make the shot extra refreshing and smooth.
