What is a cinnamon toast crunch shot?
A cinnamon toast crunch shot is a sweet, cinnamon-y drink that’s made with Rumchata, fireball and topped with whipped cream and a cinnamon toast crunch cereal. It’s served in a shot glass and usually garnished with an orange slice.
This shot is often served at parties or bars because it’s super easy to make and tastes delicious!
What’s in a cinnamon toast Crunch?
- 1 part RumChata (around 1/2 ounce)
- 1 part Fireball Cinnamon Whisky (around 1/2 ounce)
- Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- Sugar (optional for rimming the glass)
Instructions
- Start by preparing your shot glasses. If you want to add a little extra flair and sweetness, you can rim the glasses with sugar. To do this, moisten the rim of the shot glass with a little water, then dip it into a saucer of sugar.
- Pour equal parts of RumChata and Fireball into your shot glass. If you’re going for a standard shot size, that’s about half an ounce of each.
- Stir gently to combine the two spirits. You’ll see them blend into a creamy, cinnamon-colored concoction.
- Optional: Sprinkle a dash of ground cinnamon on top for an extra burst of flavor and an appealing aesthetic touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!
Tips
- Always chill your RumChata and Fireball before making this shot. The colder they are, the smoother and more enjoyable your shot will be.
- Remember, the key to a great Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot is balance. You want to taste both the creamy sweetness of the RumChata and the spicy kick of the Fireball. So, try to keep a 1:1 ratio when pouring.
- If you’re making a batch for a party, you can mix larger amounts in a pitcher and then pour the mixture into shot glasses.
- For a festive holiday version, you can garnish with a small cinnamon stick or even add a tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a “float” version of the shot.

What is Fireball made of?
Fireball is a whisky, but not your grandpa’s rocking-chair, pipe-smoking kind of whisky. It’s more like the life-of-the-party, let’s-start-a-dance-off kind of whisky. Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is a unique spirit that combines the smooth, warming characteristics of whisky with a fiery kick of cinnamon spice.
Fireball is made using Canadian whisky as a base. Canadian whisky is typically smooth and light, providing the perfect backdrop for the other star of the show: cinnamon.
Cinnamon is the defining flavor of Fireball, and it’s not shy about it. The exact type of cinnamon used is a secret, but it’s potent, giving Fireball its distinctive hot, sweet, and spicy character that hits you like a flamethrower – but in a good way.
What is good to mix Fireball with?
Fireball is an excellent mixer with just about anything. But if you’re looking to get the most out of your Fireball experience, consider mixing it with:
- Cranberry juice (for a cranberry-orange flavor)
- Coke (for a cinnamon cola flavor)
- Whiskey (for an amped-up whiskey flavor)
What is RumChata made of?
RumChata is a popular creamy liqueur that is loved by many for its delicious taste and versatility. It is made from a combination of several key ingredients, carefully blended together to create a unique and enjoyable flavor.
- Caribbean Rum: The base of RumChata is made from Caribbean rum, which adds a rich and distinct character to the liqueur. The rum used is typically made from fermented sugarcane juice or molasses, giving it a slightly sweet and smooth taste.
- Real Dairy Cream: One of the defining features of RumChata is its creamy texture, which comes from the addition of real dairy cream. This cream gives the liqueur a luxurious mouthfeel and contributes to its smoothness. It is important to note that RumChata contains dairy, so individuals with lactose intolerance should be cautious.
- Cinnamon: The flavor profile of RumChata is enhanced by the addition of natural cinnamon. This warm and aromatic spice gives the liqueur a delightful hint of sweetness and a subtle spiciness that complements the creaminess.
- Vanilla: To further enhance the flavor, RumChata incorporates natural vanilla. Vanilla adds a smooth and sweet note to the liqueur, balancing the spice from the cinnamon and contributing to its creamy and indulgent taste.
- Sugar: A small amount of sugar is added to RumChata to provide a touch of sweetness. This helps to round out the flavors and create a well-balanced liqueur.
Is RumChata good to drink by itself?
RumChata is amazing on its own! It’s a delicious, creamy liqueur that’s sweet and sour and just plain delicious. We love it in cocktails, as well as by itself.
How strong is RumChata?
The strength of RumChata depends on how much alcohol you’re consuming in your drink. The more alcohol you consume, the stronger it will taste and feel.
One shot of RumChata contains about 13.75% alcohol.
What does rumchata and Fireball taste like?
Rumchata and Fireball taste like a mixture of rum and cinnamon. The rum gives the drink a sweet, warm flavor, while the cinnamon adds a spicy kick to it.
