Questions and Answers about this Recipe
Q1: Can I make these shots ahead of time?
A1: Yes, you can prepare the mixture ahead of time and keep it chilled in the refrigerator. However, it’s best to add the edible glitter rim just before serving to prevent it from dissolving.
Q2: What if I don’t have white chocolate liqueur?
A2: You can substitute it with crème de cacao or a similar chocolate-flavored liqueur. Alternatively, you can add a small amount of white chocolate syrup to the mixture.
Q3: Can I use regular vodka instead of vanilla vodka?
A3: Yes, you can use regular vodka, but the vanilla vodka adds a nice touch of flavor. If using regular vodka, consider adding a drop or two of vanilla extract to enhance the vanilla flavor.
Q4: Are there any non-alcoholic alternatives for this recipe?
