9 Super Tasty Shots With Tequila Rose 

1. Tequila Rose Pudding Shot

by Tequila Rose

Everyone loves a good jello shot, but pudding? That’s something entirely different. Instead of jiggly, these Tequila Rose Pudding Shots are sweet, creamy, and absolutely luscious. 

Tequila Rose Shots

The ingredients for this recipe by Tequila Rose are simple. All you need is Tequila Rose, vanilla pudding mix, milk, strawberry puree, and whipped cream. Mix up the Tequila Rose, vanilla pudding, and milk. Let it chill, then fold in the whipped cream and strawberry puree. What you end up with is a thick, strawberry cream shot that tastes like a heavenly dessert. 

2. Beastly Beauty

Of all the Tequila Rose drink recipes we’ve enjoyed, it’s this one that stands out from the rest due to the unique flavor of Herbal Liqueur combined with the creaminess of strawberry liqueur. 

Combine one ounce of Tequila Rose with ½ ounce of Herbal Liqueur. Shake over ice and fill your shot glasses full. This is one you’re really going to enjoy. 

3. French Kiss Shot

by Tipsy Bartender

French Kiss Shot

French Kiss shots are probably the most popular and widely known Tequila Rose shots. This is a layered shot, so it’s a good idea to have a spoon handy to carefully drizzle each liqueur over so that it rests gently on the layer below it. 

Before you start, you want to rim your shot glasses with pink sugar. Grenadine earns the spot as the first layer to go into the shot. Drizzle grenadine carefully into each glass, taking care not to add too much and accidentally fill your shot glass! 

Next, layer Rumchata over the grenadine layer, then the Tequila Rose as the final layer. You now have wonderful strawberry cocktails that taste creamy and sweet. If you want to mix this one up a little, you could try substituting Irish cream for the Rumchata for an equally delicious drink. 

4. Red Hot Panties

4. Red Hot Panties

In addition to the spicy name, this Tequila Rose shot packs a little bit of heat, thanks to the contribution of cinnamon-flavored whiskey. This recipe is a mixture of equal parts Tequila Rose and a cinnamon-flavored whiskey of your choice. Tequila Rose doesn’t list any garnishes for this recipe, but we think a bit of whipped cream and little red hot candies would be a fun twist. 

5. Chocolate Strawberry Shot

Chocolate Strawberry Shot

This shooter by Tipsy Chickens is delicious and tastes like a chocolate-covered strawberry in a glass. The recipe calls for Tequila Rose and Dark Creme de Cacao, but you could easily substitute a different chocolate liqueur of your choice. 

First, add the Creme de Cacao or chocolate liqueur to the shot glass, then float the Tequila Rose on top. Garnish with a kiss of whipped cream, and you have one tasty strawberry shooter cocktail. 

6. Pink Pussycat Shot

Pink Pussycat Shot

Due to its light pink color, Tequila Rose works beautifully in layered shots. Layered shots can be tricky to master, but if you take your time, this delicious Pink Pussycat Shot is worth the effort. You only need two ingredients – equal parts Tequila Rose and butterscotch schnapps or Buttershots Liqueur. 

Line up your shot glasses and first pour in the butterscotch liqueur. This is important because the butterscotch is heavier and denser than the Tequila Rose, so it needs to be on the bottom. Next, very carefully pour the Tequila Rose on top. Don’t pour too fast, or the Tequila Rose will mix into the schnapps. The recipe doesn’t call for it, but we think this one would be perfectly garnished with pink sugar or a chocolate-covered rim.  

7. Cap’ n Crunch Shots

by Tipsy Bartender

Cap’ n Crunch Shots

The milk that’s left over after a bowl of Cap’n Crunch is yummy on its own, but now imagine it being strawberry flavored – and in an alcohol-infused adult version to boot! This shot by Tipsy Bartender is reminiscent of Crunch-Berries cereal milk, but so much better. 

For this one, you’ll need a cocktail shaker. Add in some ice, along with Tequila Rose, your favorite vanilla vodka, coffee liquor, half & half or heavy cream, and a splash of grenadine. Shake it up good, then strain it into shot glasses. Garnish with a little whipped cream and sprinkling of Cap’n Crunch cereal for a shot full of yum! 

8. Funfetti Shots

by Tipsy Bartender

Funfetti Shots

A grown-up cupcake in a shot glass? These Funfetti Shots by Tipsy Bartender taste like a sweet dessert in a shot glass! For this rich shot of deliciousness, all you need is Tequila Rose liqueur, cake vodka, and white chocolate liqueur to really add that Funfetti cupcake flavor. 

Place all of the ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker and line up your shot glasses that have been garnished with a nice thick rim of cupcake sprinkles. Shake well, and pour equal amounts into each glass. This is one dessert that you don’t have to share with the kids! 

9. Rosy Nipple

by Tequila Rose

Rosy Nipple

The Rosy Nipple is similar to the Pink Pussycat shot, but instead of being layered, this one is super easy, being shaken together before being poured into your shot glass. This recipe comes from Tequila Rose themselves, so you know it’s going to be good. 

Mix one ounce of Tequila Rose to a ½ ounce of butterscotch schnapps. Combine with ice in a shaker, give it a good toss, and enjoy.
