    What is a Tootsie Roll?

    The Tootsie Roll is an oblong shaped, chewy chocolate candy that was launched in 1896. It has a consistency that is similar to taffy and caramel but a little different. This iconic candy got it’s name from the inventor’s daughter whose nickname was Tootsie.

    What you need

    Kahlua – Kahlua is a coffee flavor liqueur that contains coffee, rum, and sugar. It can usually be found where you buy liquor.

    Orange juice – I recommend using orange juice with no pulp for a smooth shot.

    How to make a Tootsie Roll shot

    This easy shot recipe can be made in minutes. The recipe calls for a 1 part Kahlua to 1 part orange juice ratio but feel free to adjust to your taste.

    Step one: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Gather your ingredients and shot glass.

    Step two: Pour Kahlua in the shaker.

    Step four: Shake for a few seconds. Pour through strainer into shot glass and serve cold.

    Step five: Enjoy your tootsie roll shooter cold.

    Do I need a cocktail shaker?

    You don’t necessarily need a cocktail shaker for this recipe. It can be poured straight into a shot glass.

    If you do have a shaker it’s a good way to really combine the flavors of the Kahlua and orange juice to get the drink nice and cold.

    Recipe tips

    • Kahlua is 20% alcohol by volume so it would be considered a mild drink.
    • This cocktail can also be made with the addition of 1/2 ounce vodka. The vodka makes the drink a little stronger.
    • If you don’t have a cocktail shaker you can add the liquid to a ice filled jar that has a lid and use the jar as a shaker.
    • Want to make this a larger drink? You can easily double the ingredients and serve in a martini glass or rocks glass.

    Does Kahlua need to be refrigerated?

    Kahlua doesn’t need to be refrigerated after opening. It is shelf stable, just make sure to store it in a cool, dark place. Kahlua has a shelf life of about 4 years if it’s unopened.
