When it comes to planning a celebration, the little details can make a big impact—and few things bring the fun like a tray of creative, themed shots! Whether you're throwing a birthday bash, hosting a wedding, or planning a backyard BBQ, custom shot creations are a great way to break the ice, energize your guests, and add a playful touch to your event.
At Double Shotz, we believe that a shot should be more than just a quick sip—it should be an experience. Here are some of our favorite shot ideas and themes to inspire your next event.

🍭 1. Candy Land Shotz
Perfect for birthdays, bachelorettes, or colorful summer parties. These sweet shots are rimmed with crushed candy, gummy bears, or rainbow sprinkles and come in bright, fruity flavors like watermelon, sour apple, and cotton candy. They’re fun, nostalgic, and totally Instagrammable.
Fan Favorite: Sour Patch Watermelon Shotz with a candy rim and mini straw.
☕ 2. Coffee & Cream Shotz
For brunch events, cozy fall gatherings, or coffee lovers—these espresso-based shots bring bold flavor and smooth finish. Think spiked cold brew, mocha vodka, and vanilla cream toppings served in mini cups.
Fan Favorite: Irish Cream Cold Brew Shotz with a dollop of whipped cream and a chocolate drizzle.

🍮 3. Dessert-In-A-Shot
Why choose between dessert and drinks when you can have both? These pudding- or mousse-based shots come in flavors like chocolate, banana cream, and cheesecake, often topped with cookie crumbles or a cherry on top.
Fan Favorite: Birthday Cake Pudding Shotz with funfetti sprinkles and a mini spoon.
🧊 4. Jello Shotz Reimagined
A party classic—now elevated! We craft layered, glitter, or even fruit-filled Jello shotz to match your event's vibe. Add edible flowers or color themes for a modern twist.
Fan Favorite: Champagne Glitter Shotz in clear cups with gold flake accents.

🍂 5. Seasonal & Holiday Shotz
These shots are designed around holidays, seasons, or special occasions. Think spiced rum and apple cider for fall, peppermint mocha for the holidays, or watermelon lime coolers for summer.
Fan Favorite: Pumpkin Pie Shotz in fall with crushed graham cracker rim and cinnamon on top.
🌈 6. Color-Coded Party Shotz
Match your event’s color palette with vibrant, theme-coordinated shotz. Perfect for weddings, gender reveals, or themed birthdays.
Fan Favorite: Blue Raspberry & Coconut Cream Shotz for coastal or tropical vibes.
🍸 7. Signature Couple’s Shotz (for Weddings & Showers)
We love crafting his & hers or themed couple’s shotz that reflect the personalities of the people being celebrated. From spicy margarita mini-shots to creamy white chocolate liqueur blends—your imagination sets the tone.
Fan Favorite: “His & Hers” espresso + cream and tequila + lime duo tray.
🎯 Final Sip: Make It Personal
The best part about our custom Shotz is how personalized they can be. From names and signs to color and flavor combos, we work with you to create something that fits your event like a glove.
