Rim a shot glass with honey by lightly coating the top edge.
Strain the cocktail mixture from the shaker into the honey-rimmed shot glass.
Top generously with whipped cream and serve immediately.
Comments
This dessert shot is genuinely fast and uses shelf-stable ingredients found at any Walmart, Food Lion, or Harris Teeter in Charlotte, so no special trips. The cost per serving runs about $3.50 to $4 depending on your liqueur choice, which is steep for something you drink in one or two sips, and honey and whipped cream do add up in proportion. The five-minute claim is honest—there's no real prep beyond pouring and topping. The main caveat is portion size: this is a single 2-ounce pour meant for after dinner, not a meal, and the richness means one shot satisfies most people, so it works best as an occasional treat or end to a special meal rather than a weeknight go-to.
