There are almost endless combinations of shots you can mix up for a good time. However, ones with sour apple schnapps, also called Sour Apple Pucker or just Apple Pucker, are always a crowd hit.
From caramel apple flavors and names reminiscent of your favorite Apple Jacks cereal, check out these Sour Apple Pucker shooter recipes.

Caramel Apple Shot
This Caramel Apple Shot recipe by The Cocktail Project is quite simple. Simply combine Buttershots schnapps and sour apple schnapps in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake it up, and pour into a shot glass.

Green River
By Drinks Mixer
The Green River shot recipe by Drinks Mixer has melon liqueur, sour apple schnapps, and just a bit of sweet and sour mix to create a fruity shot that packs a punch at any party. Simply shake up the ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker and pour them into your favorite shot glasses. This could also be made into a cocktail by increasing the amount of each ingredient and pouring it into a highball glass instead.
Apple Jacks
Apple Jacks is not named because it tasted like the cereal you had when you were a kid, but rather because it has apple schnapps and Jack Daniel’s, hence the “Apple Jacks” name. Combine equal parts of the Jack Daniel’s and Apple Pucker in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until chilled and pour into a shot glass. It may seem like an odd combination, but it is absolutely delicious.
Poison Apple Shot
The Tipsy Bartender is back with another Apple Pucker shot recipe called the Poison Apple Shot. The Poison Apple shot has Jagermeister, sour apple Pucker, and cranberry juice. If you like a sour punch for your drink, you’ll love this sweet and sour Poison Apple shot.

Fruit salad isn’t always associated with adult beverages, but this Fruit Salad Slammer by Drinks Mixer makes you think maybe it should be. It consists of Apple Pucker, Grape Pucker, and Cheri-Beri Pucker. This shot is sweet, delicious, and sour reminiscent of summer. You could even add peach schnapps for extra sweetness if you want.
Apple Shooter Cocktail
Though this Apple Shooter Cocktail recipe by Cocktail Builder is a full-sized drink, it would make an excellent shot as well. This recipe has triple sec, Sour Apple Pucker, and Smirnoff Green Apple Twist vodka. Don’t forget to drink responsibly with this one!

If you love tequila shots, the Diva Shot recipe by Bartender Life is a great way to switch it up. Though the shot is mostly tequila, a splash of Apple Pucker balances it out, and the whipped cream on top makes it fun!
