Notes

  • 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 on hand, you can use ½ ounce vodka and ½ ounce Bailey’s Irish cream. 
  • Key lime juice is what gives the shot its classic tart lime flavor. I’m using fresh key lime juice but bottled would work too.
