Helpful Tips:
- You can use smaller shot glasses as the mixture will still be perfectly even either way.
- These can be made in advance and stored in the fridge, in a sealed container. Of course, outside the fridge would be fine as well, but I feel the better outcome is when the ingredients have remained chilled. It just tastes fresher. If making in advance, do not add the cherries. Only add those when ready to serve.
- If you’re not a fan of coconut rum, you can swap it out for another clear alcohol, but it’s important to note that this change can drastically alter the taste of the shot. Vodka, white rum or tequila would work.
- If you can’t find Midori, another green melon liqueur should be fine. Green Hawaiian Punch or green prepared Kool-Aid has been a hit as well, although these two options make for a much weaker, sweeter shot.
- If your ingredients are chilled and you want cold shots, simply pop a couple chunks of ice in your shaker and use a strainer to pour the shots so the ice doesn’t come with it.
What You Need to Make Grinch Shots
- Midori – This gives the shots a perfect bright green color
- Coconut Rum – This pairs so well with the Midori for a fruity flavor
- Maraschino Cherries (optional) – These look cute and symbolize Grinch’s heart
