This dessert shooter tastes so much like the pie that shares its name that you forget thereβs alcohol in it (which can be a good or bad thing, depending how you look at it).

Perfect for summer barbeques and poolside parties, the Key Lime Pie Shot is a surefire crowd pleaser.

If you grew up in the late β80s/early β90s, you know this ice cream truck staple was all the rage. Essentially a dessert taco, the original Choco Taco consisted of a waffle cone taco shell filled with vanilla ice cream that was dipped in chocolate fudge and topped with peanuts. This shot-tail pays homage to what was quite possibly the greatest dessert ever created by humankind. The drink is made with vodka, rum, amaro and orgeat, and served in a mini waffle cone. Not only does it perfectly replicate the dessert, but you also get the added bonus of eating an alcohol-soaked cone after you drink the shot.
