Notes

  • For a stronger caramel flavor, use homemade caramel sauce if available.
  • Ensure the shot glasses are clean and dry before rimming to help the pretzels and salt stick better.
  • These shots are best served immediately to preserve the texture of the whipped cream and pretzel rim.
  • To make these shots a bit milder, reduce the vodka slightly and increase the caramel sauce.
  • Substitute whipped cream with a dairy-free alternative for lactose intolerance.
  • Keep the shots refrigerated if preparing in advance, but assemble just before serving for best results.
