Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate liqueur
  • 1 cup cherry schnapps
  • 12 fresh cherries
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

  1. In a mixing glass, combine the chocolate liqueur and cherry schnapps. Stir well to combine.
  2. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to chill.
  3. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
  4. Dip each fresh cherry into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Place the coated cherries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  6. Take the chilled chocolate liqueur and cherry schnapps mixture out of the refrigerator. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the chocolate liqueur and cherry schnapps mixture into shot glasses, filling each glass about 3/4 of the way.
  8. Carefully place one chocolate-covered cherry into each shot glass, allowing it to sink to the bottom.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
