What to serve with Dirty Girl Scout Thin Mint Shot
Consider pairing your shot with some decadent chocolate-covered strawberries. Or even some mini desserts like Godiva whoopie pies, or mini cheesecakes in a jar would compliment the shot well.
Or to balance out the sweetness consider a meat and cheese tray.
FAQs
You can swap the alcohol out with chocolate milk instead of the alcohol. Or you can add milk and then a little chocolate syrup. Stir well or shake the same.
These are served in a shot glass most generally. You can use any smaller glass to create a shot. For the strong flavor you will find it tastes best in smaller doses than sipping on it as a full-on cocktail.
Dust with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, crumbled cookies, or even mint leaves. Feel free to garnish any way you want or leave it plain.
