Ingredients
Scale
For the Rim
- 1 package of Fudge covered Oreo mint mini’s (about 14 mini Oreos)
- 1 can of chocolate frosting
For the Cocktail
- 4 parts chocolate liqueur
- 2 parts peppermint schnapps
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo Crust: Begin by crushing 14 mini Fudge covered Oreo mint minis with the back of a spoon or any kitchen tool in a dish. Set aside the crushed Oreos for the rim coating.
- Coat the Glass Rim: Open the can of chocolate frosting. Using a small spoon or knife, coat the tops of your shot glasses evenly with the frosting. Immediately roll the frosted rim into the crushed mint Oreos so they stick, creating a flavorful and decorative crust.
- Mix the Shot: In a cocktail shaker or a pitcher, combine 4 parts chocolate liqueur and 2 parts peppermint schnapps. Stir gently to blend the flavors together without diluting the mixture.
- Serve: Pour the mixed cocktail into the prepared shot glasses. Serve immediately and enjoy your Thin Mint Shots!
Notes
- This recipe yields 8 shots but can be scaled easily by adjusting ingredient quantities.
- For best flavor, chill the liqueurs beforehand.
- Use fudge-covered mint Oreos for authentic Thin Mint flavor; regular Oreos can be substituted but will alter the taste.
- The chocolate frosting acts as an adhesive for the Oreo rim; alternatively, you could use light corn syrup or melted chocolate.
- Consume responsibly; this is an alcoholic beverage.
