Some friends of ours down at The Shack were hosting a summer potluck on the beach. Their German guests were to leave soon, so we were all asked to bring a German dish. There would be voting. And prizes. Since I&#8217;m rarely one to turn down a challenge, I knew the game was ON. My favorite German delight is Black Forest Cake &#8212; hardly a beach-friendly summer dessert! So instead, I decided to make a drinkable version, in the form of a shooter. By the way, I won third place.<\/p>\n<p>So these same friends had given me some chocolate vodka, so I was covered for that flavor. I had Chambord (stand-in for cherry). I acquired Whipped vodka. And used some Bailey&#8217;s with Hazelnut for some body. Add a maraschino cherry and you have the liquid Black Forest Cake, right?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michellematlack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/2013-12-09-22.27.52.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1704\" alt=\"SAMSUNG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michellematlack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/2013-12-09-22.27.52-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><strong>Black Forest Cake Shooters<\/strong><br \/>\nServes 2<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) chocolate vodka<br \/>\n1\/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) whipped vodka<br \/>\n1\/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) Chambord<br \/>\n1\/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) Bailey&#8217;s with hazelnut<br \/>\n2 maraschino cherries<\/p>\n<p>Put the vodkas and liqueurs in a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice.

Refrigerate until well chilled. Put a maraschino cherry in a disposable plastic shooter or condiment cup. Pour the chilled shooter concoction over the cherry. Keep in mind, this wasn&#8217;t diluted by ice, like the shaker version, so it&#8217;s a bit stronger. Not that there&#8217;s anything wrong with that. This makes a nice Welcome to your holiday parties!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This little sweetie was born out of a summer competition.
