Instructions
Soak the pistachios
- Place pistachios in a small bowl. Cover with water and soak for 1–2 hours to soften them slightly.
Drain and rinse pistachios

Add sugar and vanilla

Mix in cream

Adjust consistency
- If the drink is too thick, add a little more milk. Blend again to get a smooth, pourable texture.
Prepare glasses
- Pour the Pistachio Shot into small glasses or shot glasses. Leave some space for topping if desired.
Add optional ice
- If you like it chilled, add a few crushed ice cubes to each shot before serving.
Top with whipped cream
- Add a small swirl of whipped cream on top for extra richness and creamy texture.
Garnish with pistachios
- Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the whipped cream. Serve immediately for best taste and presentation.
