Take your cheesecake tradition to a whole new level with this little libation! Makes any number of shots.
Mango Cheesecake Cocktail
Servings
Ingredients
- Ripe mangos cut into small chunks
- Clear apple juice
- Crème de Cacao preferably from the freezer
- *Homemade vanilla extract the vodka/vanilla combo makes this work
- Cinnamon Cream cheese or whole-milk vanilla yogurt
- One sleeve of your favorite dairy cookies
Instructions
- Chill moistened 1.5-oz. shot glasses in the freezer for several minutes to get them nice and icy cold.
- While the glasses are chilling, mash some of the cream cheese or yogurt with some of the cookies until you get a paste thick enough to spread around the rim of the shot glasses. This mix serves as the “crust” of your liquid cheesecake bite.
- When the glasses are cold, remove them from freezer and rim the edge of each glass with the creamy cookie mixture.
- The Drink:
- Muddle a mango chunk in the bottom of each iced/rimmed shot glass.
- Add ½ oz. of the apple juice.
- Add ½ oz. Crème de Cacao.
- Add ¼ oz. homemade vanilla.
- Add a dash of cinnamon.
- Stir well.
- *Homemade Vanilla: Once you get used to making your own vanilla, which is so much more flavorful and cheaper than the imitation vanilla sold on store shelves, you will never go back.
