Vodka Shot Recipes
Contents show
All of these recipes are vodka shots. We also have a huge list of vodka co*cktail recipes if you are looking for a larger drink.
While you can do shots of vodka on their own, we prefer mixing the vodka with other ingredients to make a flavorful co*cktail shot.
Kamikaze Shot
Ingredients - Vodka, Triple Sec, Lime Juice, lime wedge garnish
We’ve included five variations of this popular shooter developed in post-World War II Japan.
Cherry Bomb Shot
Ingredients - Grenadine, Cherry Vodka, Red Bull
The cherry in this ruby-red shooter comes from cherry vodka, while the “bomb” part is from the two ounces of Red Bull.
Patriotic Shot
Ingredients - Grenadine, Blue Curacao, Vodka
Raise a glass to America’s birthday with this layered red and blue shot made with equal parts grenadine, blue curaçao, and vodka. Here’s how to make it pitcher-style.
Chocolate Cake Shot
Ingredients - Vodka, Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur, sugar-coated lemon wedge
The chocolate cake flavor of this mixed shooter comes not from any baked goods but from an ounce of Frangelico hazelnut liqueur. Don’t forget the lemon wedge coated in sugar!
Mind Eraser Shot
Ingredients - Vodka, Kahlua Coffee Liqueur, Club Soda
This fizzy vodka-Kahlúa shot gets its name because it’s so tasty that it’s easy to overindulge. The recipe post includes instructions for the layered shooter and co*cktail and contains variations using different mixers.
Pineapple Upside Down Cake Shot
Ingredients - Vanilla Vodka, Pineapple Juice, Grenadine
Have your cake and drink it with this red shooter inspired by the fruit-topped cake of the same name. While we use vanilla vodka, a cake-flavored vodka would also be yummy.
Apple Pie Shot

Apple cider, vanilla vodka, and Fireball cinnamon whisky form the trifecta of fall flavors in this sweater-weather shooter. Serve them in these mini mason jar shot glasses for a touch of shabby chic.

Easy Pink Starburst Shot recipe is perfect for Valentine's Day, Girls Night In, bachelorette party, Parties, or anytime you want a candy-inspired co*cktail.

Vodka Jello Shots
Vodka Jello Shots are the perfect party/festival co*cktail. They are easy to make ahead of time and taste fantastic.
Candy Corn Jello Shots
Any orange and yellow-colored gelatin mix works in this recipe; make sure you like the combination of flavors. As with our other Jello shot recipes, sweetened condensed milk is vital to its stability and sweet taste.
Grinch Jello Shots
Serve these Jello shots alongside our strawberry daiquiri shots and Grinch bark for a sweet adults-only platter for holiday movie rerun night. We highly recommend using co*cktail jiggers to ensure your pours are just right, as this affects the final consistency.
We love topping these Grinch Jello Shots with whipped cream and fun sprinkles
Red, White, and Blue Jello Shots
