    You don't have to dress up as Scooby Doo, Shaggy, Velma, Fred, or Daphne to enjoy this fun Scooby Snack Shot.

    I can't guarantee you harness the power to solve mysteries or fight off monsters while enjoying this not-so-secret mix of fruity liqueurs, but you will have lots of fun.

    This fun green shot is excellent for Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, or any day you want a fun party cocktail shot.

    This Scooby drink has a coconut taste with a mild fruity flavor of pineapple and melon.

    Any drink with Malibu rum in it will have a bit of sweetness.

    Zoinks! This fun party shot tastes terrific and is easy to make. I have to admit this is the first time I have used the word Zoinks in a recipe post. LOL!

    This Scooby Snack Drink Recipe reminds me of Saturday morning cartoons and childhood memories, dreaming of riding in the Mystery Machine Van on an epic quest with Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, and Fred in Crystal Cove, solving epic mysteries.

    This mystery-solving gang was one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons, along with the Smurfs, Snorkels, and The Care Bears.

    I can't forget to mention She-Ra, Jem, and Rainbow Brite! Total 80s girl power on a Saturday morning. LOL!

    I didn't find any specifics on how the Scooby Snack Shot came to be. From what I can see, its name comes from its bright green color.

    Scooby Snack Shot Ingredients

    Here is a quick overview of the simple ingredients for making an epic Scooby Snack Shot! The printable recipe card at the bottom of the post includes specific measurements and step-by-step instructions.

    Malibu Coconut Rum - We use Malibu but you can use any coconut rum including Captain Morgan's, Largo Bay, Bacardi Coco Rum, Blue Chair Bay Coconut Rum, or CocoMania. The coconut flavor is fantastic in this tropical flavored cocktail shot.

    Banana Liqueur/Crรจme de Banana - Sweet banana flavored creme de banana liqueur adds an additional fruit flavor to this cocktail shot. This can be removed if you are not a fan of banana flavoring.

    Melon Liqueur - We use either Dekuyper Melon Schnapps Liqueur or Midori Melon Liqueur to give this shot its distinctive neon green coloring. You can also use Mr. Stacks Sweet Melon.

    Pineapple Juice - The sweet tropical flavor of Pineapple Juice helps balance out the flavors of this cocktail shot.

    Garnish - Whipped Cream, Maraschino Cherry or Pineapple Chunk (Optional)

    Optional - Heavy Cream - This recipe is made with or without whipping cream depending on how sweet you want the green cocktail shot. We are showing photos of both methods of making this drink. This will make a creamy shot.

    Equipment Needed

    • Cocktail Shaker โ€“ Shaking this green cocktail shot will help it get nice and cold. A cold Scooby Snack Shot tastes the best!
    • 2 ounce shot glasses - We love these 2 oz shot glasses. They are sturdy and look amazing while being easy to drink from.
    • OXO angled jiggers - These are our go-to measuring tools for cocktails. They work perfectly for pouring in layers for cocktails.

    This shot can also be doubled and served in an Old-Fashioned glass for a larger drink.

    How to make a Scooby Snack Shooter

    I've included complete instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, but here's a quick version.

    Add Banana liqueur, coconut rum, melon liqueur, pineapple juice, and whipped cream to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

    Shake until well mixed and strain/pour into a shot glass once flavors are combined.

    Top with whipped cream.

    Enjoy this sweet, refreshing shooter!

    Preparation and Storage

    Make Ahead: We donโ€™t recommend making this shot beforehand if you plan to use heavy whipping cream. The dairy will separate from the cocktail mixture.

    Storage: Whether you make it ahead of time without the cream or simply have leftover servings, refrigerate the cocktail mixture in an airtight container and shake it before serving to combine the ingredients. Store leftovers for up to three days.

    Freezing/How to Freeze: Make a frozen version of this Scooby Snack shot by combining all liquid ingredients in a blender. Depending on how much you love pineapple, you can use frozen pineapples or ice.

    Recipe Variations

    Substitutions:

    We use Malibu, but you can use any coconut rum, including Captain Morgan's, Largo Bay, Bacardi Coco Rum, Blue Chair Bay Coconut Rum, or CocoMania. The coconut flavor is fantastic in this tropical-flavored cocktail shot.

    Sweet banana-flavored creme de banana liqueur adds extra fruit flavor to this cocktail shot. However, if you are not a fan of banana flavoring, you can remove it.

    We use either Dekuyper Melon Schnapps Liqueur or Midori Melon Liqueur to give this shot its distinctive neon green coloring. You can also use Mr. Stacks Sweet Melon.

    The sweet tropical flavor of Pineapple Juice helps balance out the flavors of this cocktail shot. Canned or fresh should work. You can even reserve the juice from another recipe needing canned pineapple if you make this drink as part of a tiki party spread.

    Blue Scooby Snack Shot: Substitute Blue Curacao for the Midori to make a blue shot. This substitution removes the melon flavor and adds citrus.

    The Shaggy Cocktail: This Scooby Snack Shot variation includes the addition of chocolate through Bailey's Irish Cream.

    Vegetarian Option: All of the ingredients in this recipe are vegetarian-friendly.

    Vegan Option: Replace the heavy cream with coconut cream and the whipped cream garnish with your favorite plant-based alternative to make this shooter vegan. Bonus: the coconut flavoring infuses the shot with even more tropical bliss!

    Gluten-Free: All ingredients in the Scooby Snack shot are safe for those with gluten sensitivities.

    Alcohol-Free Option: For a mocktail version, use cream of coconut instead of coconut rum and melon puree instead of melon liqueur, and remove the banana liqueur.

    Smaller Serving Size:

    Split the recipe between two 1-ounce shot glasses or halve the ingredients to make mini Scooby Snack Shots. The slider in the recipe card below allows you to change the serving measurements.

    Make It Spicy: We havenโ€™t found a spicy version of this shot.

    Larger Group/More Servings:

    Double the Scooby shots and serve it in an old-fashioned glass for a full-sized cocktail. For a lighter drink, keep the proportions the same and add more pineapple juice.

    If you are making this cocktail shot for a party, you can mix all the ingredients in a large jug with a lid. Store the drink in the refrigerator, shaking the jug before serving.

    Sugar-Free: The written recipe contains 12 grams of sugar per shot. Unfortunately, it is not the best option for those who canโ€™t consume sugar, as the alcohol-containing ingredients donโ€™t have sugar-free substitutes.

    Tips for the Best Scooby Snack Shot

    • There are many variations of this basic Scooby Snack Drink Recipe. Some call for heavy whipping cream, while others call for pre-made whipped cream.
    • The Melon Liqueur used will dictate the shade of green your cocktail becomes. You must use a green-colored melon liqueur to get the neon green coloring.
    • Garnish with whipped cream right before serving so it doesn't melt down the side of the glass.
    • The proportions for this Scooby Doo Snack Shot are equal parts of each ingredient. You can decide whether to change any proportions for the perfect sweet flavor you want in your cocktail.

    What to Serve with Scooby Snack Shot

    You wonโ€™t have to fight off evil ghouls to enjoy this tropical Scooby Snack Shot at summer potlucks, tiki parties, or cookouts.
