A breakfast-inspired shot mixing vodka and milk that supposedly tastes like Fruit Loops cereal milk.

The Fruit Loop Shot is a nostalgic breakfast cereal–inspired shooter that captures the sweetness and artificial fruit medley of Kellogg's Froot Loops — introduced in 1963 with its signature multicolored ring cereal and toucan mascot, Toucan Sam. Froot Loops became famous for their intensely sweet, indistinct fruit flavor — actually a single blended fruit profile despite the different colors — and their milk-soaking quality that turned the leftover milk sweetly flavored. The shot recreates this character using a combination of fruit-flavored vodka, coconut rum, and pineapple juice combined with a small cream or milk float, mimicking the cereal-in-milk experience. Its nostalgic appeal and vivid color combination made it a popular 2000s cocktail for bars targeting millennial customers.
