Chocolate Cake Shot Recipe {Video}

Easy Chocolate Cake Shot Recipe that tastes amazing made with Frangelico hazelnut liqueur and vodka.

Chocolate Cake Shot Recipe

This is one of the best-tasting cocktail shots. It truly tastes like a rich fluffy chocolate cake in liquid form.

It may surprise you to know there are no chocolate ingredients in this cocktail shot but there is a sugar-coated lemon.

I know it is really odd but it works. The Frangelico has a Nutella flavor that works great in this yummy drink.

It is kind of a deceptive recipe because you would not think it tastes like chocolate cake when you look at the ingredients. Who would think that vodka and Frangelico would make a delicious shot.

This cocktail shooter is also known as birthday cake shots and/or German Chocolate Cake Shot.

It is a great chocolate shot for special occasions, birthdays, or when you want a dessert-flavored cocktail shot.
