Our (famous!) Recipe for Hot Nut Shot!
Sometimes you just need something a little warm, even in a shot. Our Hot Nut Shot Recipe is a sweet and nutty cocktail that is perfect for cold winter nights. The drink is made with almond liqueur, hazelnut liqueur, hot chocolate, and cherry brandy.
Although I couldn’t find a reliable source on where the drink came from, it’s believed to have originated in the United States.
