Detailed description

Toast of the Year is a dessert shots built around whiskey. Toast of the Year folds baking spice, orange, and butterscotch into a compact little crowd-pleaser.

The build centers on 3/4 oz spiced rum, 1/2 oz orange juice, 1/4 oz butterscotch schnapps, and 1/4 oz simple syrup. In the glass, a concise home-bar shot with enough personality to earn a spot in a record-worthy recipe archive.
