Things to Keep in Mind While Making Scooby Snack Shot

- Heavy cream is a must for this recipe, as it will make the shot ultra creamy and smooth drink.
- Make this into a blue scooby snack shot by swapping melon liqueur for blue curacao.
- Add the whipped cream on top just before serving! This ensures the whipped cream doesn't melt into the shot.
- Add creme de banana / banana liqueur to your scooby doo shot for an even creamier/rich tropical flavor.
- Consume it immediately because whip cream easily melts.
- Keep the shot glasses in the freezer for at least 30 minutes in advance.
- It is best served very cold.
- You can use other creams as well, for eg cream or coconut milk
