How to Make Wap Shot
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Having everything ready makes the process smoother.
Step 2: Prepare the Shot Glasses
Line up your shot glasses on a sturdy surface. This will help prevent spills as you pour.
Step 3: Layer the Vodka
Pour the flavored vodka into each shot glass, filling them halfway. This will be the base layer of your shot.
Step 4: Add Blue Curaçao
Slowly pour the blue curaçao over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect. This gives the shot its signature look.
Step 5: Pour in the Peach Schnapps
Repeat the spoon method with the peach schnapps, carefully layering it on top of the blue curaçao. Each layer should be distinct.
Step 6: Add Cranberry Juice
Now, gently layer the cranberry juice using the same spoon technique. The different colors should create a beautiful gradient.
Step 7: Finish with Whipped Cream
Top each shot with a dollop of whipped cream. This adds a creamy texture and a fun finish.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
Present the shots to your guests and watch the excitement unfold. They are best enjoyed chilled and fresh.
Pro Tip: For even more fun, freeze your shot glasses for a few minutes before pouring.
