You can make your own Shooter Bar (or you can always feel free to hire us!). This is a wonderful, and suprising addition to any reception! Ingrediants are simple, and you can ad as many as you like. We always like to set up pre-made shooters for at least 30% of the number of guests that are expected at your reception to be available immediately after the ceremony.
The Shooter Bar works not only for reception, but is also great to incorporate into a dessert bar, as seen at many weddings in place of the traditional "cake table".
Make a dessert sundae by squirting a bit of chocolate sauce on the bottom of a shot or shooter glass. Add a heaping tablespoon of vanilla ice cream, butterscotch sauce, whipped cream and, of course, a cherry or, if in season, a fresh plump raspberry.
Step 3
For the chocolate lovers among you, crush some oreo cookies and put a layer in the bottom of the glass. Add slightly softened chocolate ice cream and garnish with chocolate shavings and a raspberry.
Step 4
You can use a no-bake cheesecake that is easy to prepare. Make a graham cracker crust out of graham crackers, butter, and a bit of sugar and line a shot glass. Pour in a bit of the cheesecake mixture and top with frozen berries. See below for the "official" cheesecake shooter recipe that is a "cooked" recipe... but, you can substitute with no-bake.
Step 5
Press a bit of pound cake into the bottom of a shot glass and top with a drizzle of vanilla pudding. Add another layer of pound cake and pudding and garnish with whipped cream and a flower garnish.
CHEESECAKE SHOOTER!
Do a little cooking at home... better than the no-cook fillings.
