Sugar Cookie Cocktail Ingredients
Buttercream: You only need a teaspoon of buttercream for the rim of the glass. But, if you were planning to do some more decorating with buttercream, I have an American Buttercream recipe you could make.
Sprinkles: You can never have too many sprinkles!
Vanilla Vodka: Vanilla vodka is perfect for adding a touch of sweetness to this dessert drink, which goes along with the sugar cookie name.
Baileys Irish Cream: This is an alcoholic beverage made with cream, cocoa, and Irish whiskey. It is delicious on its own, over ice, or, of course, in coffee. You could easily substitute Kahlua for the Baileys in this recipe for more of a Vanilla White Russian.

How to Make a Cocktail without a Shaker
Don’t miss out on this fun sugar cookie cocktail just because you don’t have a cocktail shaker. A great alternative would be to use a to-go coffee mug with a solid lid. Fill the mug up with ice, just like in a shaker, add all the ingredients, cover the opening mouth part, and get shakin’! When you are ready to pour the drink into the glass, just open up the mouth opening and pour. The lid should hold the ice back so you just get the chilled cocktail.
