Ingredients You Will Need
- Coconut rum: I used Malibu Coconut Rum for a smooth tropical flavor.
- Melon liqueur: Like De Kuyper, Midori, or La Belle for the bright green color and sweet melon taste.
- Pineapple juice: Adds fruity tropical sweetness.
- Heavy cream: Gives the shot a rich and creamy texture.
Optional Garnish
- Whipped cream: A small dollop on top makes this feel like a dessert shot.
- Pineapple slice or maraschino cherry: Adds a festive garnish.
- Scooby Snack graham crackers: A fun themed treat to serve on the side.
Variations
- Frozen Scooby Snack Shot: If you want an even cooler drink, just blend the ingredients with ice for a frozen version.
- No Cream Version: Skip the heavy cream for a lighter, fruitier shot.
- Add Banana Liqueur: Add ½ ounce banana liqueur for a tropical banana twist. Or try other different fruity liqueurs, just try to stick to tropical fruits.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut cream or almond milk instead of heavy cream.
- Make it Full Size Scooby Snack Cocktail: This recipe is for two shots, so you can just strain it into a martini glass for a full size drink.
- Blue Scooby Snack shot: Replace the melon liqueur with blue curaçao for a fun bright blue version.
How to Make a Scooby Snack Shot
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the coconut rum, melon liqueur, pineapple juice, and heavy cream.
- Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds until well combined and chilled.
- Strain the mixture into a cold shot glass.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a pineapple slice or maraschino cherry.
For a fun touch, serve with a Scooby Snack graham cracker treat on the side or rim. (Because they are graham cracker snacks, not dog treats, you don’t want them to actually be in the drink.)
Tips for Making the Best Scooby Snack Shot
- Shake well: A good shake chills the shot and creates a smooth, creamy texture.
- Chill your shot glasses: If you place the shot glasses in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving, the drink will stay cold and refreshing.
- Garnish for fun: The whipped cream and cherry make it look festive. And in my opinion, taste even better.
- Don’t put Scooby Snacks in the drink: Serve them on the side to avoid sogginess.
- Use a good quality melon liqueur: This helps give the drink its signature flavor and bright color.
- Adjust sweetness to taste: If you prefer it less sweet, reduce the pineapple juice slightly.

Scooby Snack Shots FAQ’S
Of course! This recipe is for two shots, so if you need enough for a large party, just multiply the ingredients and shake in batches to keep everything cold and well mixed. Leave the ice out until you are ready to serve, otherwise it will water down the drink.
Heavy cream adds richness, but you can substitute half and half, a splash of French vanilla creamer, or coconut cream for a lighter or dairy-free version. Or just leave it out altogether for a lighter fruity option.
Of course, you can serve them straight out of the shaker, but a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry or pineapple wedge on the rim adds the perfect finishing touch.
