Tips and Tricks for this Key Lime Pie Shot
- Rimming the glass with graham cracker crumbs adds that classic buttery crunch to the shot that we all love in key lime pie!
- Whipped cream vodka adds a sweet, creamy flavor to the shot. If you don’t have whipped cream vodka, you can use ½ ounces of vodka and ½ ounces of Bailey’s Irish cream.
- Key lime juice gives the shot its classic tart lime flavor. I’m using fresh key lime juice, but bottled would work, too. If you are feeling froggy on your key lime juice, try a bottle Kermit's in Key West.
