Payday Shot

Most of the shots featured on my blog are fruit-based, but I recently decided to try my hand at creating a caramel shot for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it turned out! The Payday Shot has quickly become one of my favorite drinks, and my husband loves it too. I’m already planning to make it at least once a month.

The Payday Shot and the Pistachio Shot share a familiar creamy and rich taste. While the Payday Shot includes caramel, the Pistachio Shot features pistachios instead. Despite their slight differences, both shots offer a creamy and heavy taste for you.
