Instructions
- Chill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes to ensure optimal mixing temperature for the liquors.

- Prepare shots ahead of time and chill in the refrigerator for a more refreshing Christmas party experience.
- Create a festive non-alcoholic version by substituting liquors with green apple juice and coconut cream for kids or non-drinkers.
