I love tasty, sweet, and easy alcoholic shooter recipes. When I heard that Burt Reynolds had a favorite drink that included Butterscotch Ripple, I knew I had to try it. Thus began my love affair with this Burt Reynolds Shot Recipe.
Why this 2-Ingredient Shot Recipe is Amazing: It's the best combination of sweet & spiced! The perfect alcoholic shooter to warm you up from the inside out!
Why I had to make this recipe? My husband's favorite movie is Smokey & the Bandit so when visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame I had to take a picture with the infamous Pontiac Trans Am. His mustache is legendary and his laugh was infectious in all his TV and movie credits. CHEERS TO BURT!
Ingredients
As I mentioned, it only takes two ingredients for this shot recipe. They are poured in equal parts for this yummy shooter.
Here are important notes for the ingredients:
- Butterscotch Schnapps - in the USA this is the best caramel-flavored alcohol or use the Butterscotch Ripple in Canada (which is the original brand Burt used)
- Spiced Rum - the cinnamon-spiced rum adds a kick; popular brands are Sailor Jerry, Captain Morgan's, Kraken, etc
See the recipe card for full list, quantities, & any substitutions/variations.
How to Make a Burt Reynolds Shot
Grab as many large shot glasses as you will need for yourself and your guests. Make sure they are large ones that will hold 2.5-3 ounces. Begin by adding 1 part of butterscotch schnapps, 1 oz.
To the butterscotch schnapps, add 1 part spiced rum, 1 oz. That pretty amber color will come to life. Plus it smells so good.
Simple to make yet complex in flavor. A great drink to sip on cold fall or winter nights, to sip by the campfire, or as a dessert shot for any holiday.
This is how you make the infamous Burt Reynold's mustache shot recipe. Enjoy!

I really love butterscotch schnapps so I had to try this. It was crazy good and I admit I did add more schnapps. It was not a 1:1 ratio for me but schnapps is my thing so I had to up it.
