pastel de nata shot

If you are Portuguese or have ever had a Portuguese person in your life, you likely know what pasteis de nata are. What you might not know is that there is a pastel de nata flavoured shot! Yes, I know, life changing. I first tried this boozy version of an egg tart at Anastasia’s baptism. The restaurant owner was hesitant to hand over the recipe, but Google did + luckily it is super easy.

Here is what you will need to impress you guests (or yourself) with a pastel de nata shot

• Advocaat Liqueur 
• Tia Maria 
• Cinnamon 

First, pour the Tia Maria into your shot glass just under half full.

Let's take a moment to look at the inspiration.

Slowly fill the glass with Advocaat + finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon. 

Pro tip: Down it all in one go for the full effect. Saúde!
