Woo Hoo! Pre-game the party with this 4-ingredient and 1-step woo woo shot recipe.
What is a Woo Woo Shot?
- Similar to the sex on the beach cocktail minus the orange juice, woo woo shots likely got their playful name in part for their simple ingredients, easy prep, and powerfully punchy flavor.
- Chilled vodka, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice are shaken with ice and served in shot glasses with a lime slice. They are fun, fruity, and fabulously easy to make.
- These shots are perfect for any celebration. Game days, poker nights, al fresco BBQs with the neighbors, or just a buzzy pop before a big night out!
- Best of all, woo woo shots are made using basic bar ingredients, juice, and versatile shot glasses that are likely already on hand. Why wait for Jello shots to set when you can make woo shots in minutes?
Only 3 Easy Ingredients!
- Vodka: No need for the pricey vodka! Just use the same brand you’d use for martinis, Moscow mules, or kamikaze shots.
- Peach Schnapps: Thick and sweet peach schnapps is a staple for a home cook’s bar for dressing up cocktails or even turning a mocktail iced tea into a cocktail.
- Cranberry Juice: Cranberry juice adds festive color and a tart balance to the sweet Schnapps. Look for 100% juice, but a juice cocktail can be used instead.
- Garnishes: Lime slices add great color contrast to the jewel-toned hue of a woo woo shot.
Variations
- Play with the vodka flavors! Try whipped cream, vanilla, marshmallow, orange, lime, cranberry, or cherry.
- No cranberry juice? Use cherry or grape juice concentrate.
- Other fun and tasty garnishes to try are maraschino cherries, frozen berries threaded onto wooden picks, or swirl in some fun edible glitter that makes woo woo shots extra sparkly (perfect for bachelorette parties)!
- Turn party shots into a party punch by doubling or tripling the recipe and diluting it with seltzer, ginger ale, or cranberry sparkling water.
