Tequila Rosé Pudding Shots

Serve these Tequila Rosé pudding shots for a fun and fruity dessert! I used Sonic’s strawberry shake pudding, Tequila Rosé, milk, and whipped cream and topped it with a maraschino cherry.

This is the perfect party starter recipe, and it’s so easy to make and serve. 

Now check out these Bailey’s strawberries and cream pudding shots or my famous banana pudding shots for more fruity and creamy shot recipes. 

The best part about these shots is that you can make them the day before you want to serve them. Then, before serving, add some whipped cream and top with your cherry!

Recipe Ingredients

Whipped Topping: I used Cool Whip in the tub for this recipe. It will help offer that ultra-fluffy and creamy texture. 
Tequila Rosé: Here is the booze in these shots. It is sweet with a nice kick of alcohol, which makes this perfect. 
Milk: You will have a more decadent shot if you use whole milk. But feel free to use skim or another percentage of milk. 
Strawberry Shake Pudding: If you can’t find the Sonic strawberry shake pudding brand, you can easily swap it with a strawberry pudding of any brand. 
Cherries: Here is a colorful topper you can add to the top of your shots. 
Whipped Cream: Add a swirl of whipped cream on top for a fluffy and sweet texture. 
Condiment Cups: You can find these at most grocery stores or order these 2 ounce condiment cups with lids (so handy for transporting!) from Amazon.

EXPERT TIPS

• Reach for instant pudding, not the pudding you have to cook. 
• I recommend starting with cold ingredients, such as milk or tequila, as that will help the batter whip up better. 
• Allowing your shots to set up entirely in the fridge will help blend all the flavors. 
• Please don’t add the whipped cream to the shots until right before serving, as it can break down as it sits in the fridge. 
• Remember, too much alcohol can affect the texture of the shots. So, it is essential to follow the measurements on the recipe card. 

POPULAR VARIATIONS AND SUBSTITUTIONS

• You can swap the pudding for any flavor, such as chocolate, cherry, vanilla, cheesecake, or white chocolate. 
• Swap out the tequila with Kahlua, coffee liqueur, Bailey’s, etc. 
• Top the shots with grated white chocolate, fresh berries, sprinkles, or other toppings you would like. 
• If you want to go dairy-free, reach for a dairy-free pudding and use a plant-based milk replacement. The same goes for whipped cream; use a dairy-free swap. 
• Feel free to use sugar-free ingredients for making these. The texture will be a bit different, but overall, it should be just as delicious. 

FAQs

How long do pudding shots need to be set?

Aim to let your shots set for at least 3-4 hours. You want to ensure they are thick and fully set before serving them up. 

Can I make pudding shots in advance?

Yes, you can make the shots a day before serving them. The biggest thing is to keep them in the fridge in a covered container. Then, top with the whipped cream and cherries right before serving. 

How can I make the pudding shots thicker?

If your shots are not thick enough for your liking, stir a bit longer to see if they thicken. Then, you can add powdered sugar to the mixture to help it thicken.
