Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to craft the perfect Nutella Shot:

1 oz Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) – Smooth, nutty, and fragrant; it delivers the iconic hazelnut base.
1 oz chocolate liqueur – Godiva or Mozart are luxurious choices, bringing silky cocoa richness.
1/2 oz Irish cream – Baileys is the classic go-to, adding creamy, sweet warmth.
1 tsp Nutella (optional but dreamy) – For that unmistakable flavor and creamy texture.
Ice – For chilling and balancing dilution.

Garnish (Optional but recommended):

Crushed hazelnuts (adds crunch and presentation)
Chocolate syrup (for extra flair and sweetness)
Mini Nutella rim (smear a bit on the rim before dipping into hazelnuts or cocoa powder)

Instructions

Step 1: Chill Your Glass

Start by placing your shot glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. A frosted glass not only enhances the presentation but keeps your shot colder for longer — ideal for this rich and creamy treat.

Step 2: Prepare the Garnish (Optional but Worth It)

If you’re going all-in with the presentation:

Smear a thin ring of Nutella around the rim of your shot glass.
Dip the Nutella rim into a small plate of crushed hazelnuts or cocoa powder.
Set the glass aside (preferably back in the freezer) while you prepare the drink.

Step 3: Mix the Base

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the following:

1 oz Frangelico
1 oz chocolate liqueur
1/2 oz Baileys or your preferred Irish cream
1 teaspoon of Nutella (this is optional, but it brings an amazing texture and flavor)

Notes

This shot is more than just a drink — it’s a dessert in liquid form. The liqueur combination creates a creamy, silky finish that mimics the flavor profile of Nutella. Frangelico provides a base of roasted hazelnuts, the chocolate liqueur layers in richness, and Irish cream adds a smooth dairy note. The optional teaspoon of Nutella blends in for extra body and flavor. The garnish isn’t just for looks — crushed hazelnuts add crunch and contrast, while the chocolate syrup gives a little extra sweetness to those who want that ultra-luxurious finish.
