Then, roll the rim of the glass in crushed cereal pieces to create a decorative border. Alternatively, you can place individual cereal pieces onto the rim of the glass for a more rustic look.To assemble the final product, add ice and the rum and cinnamon whisky mixture to a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously to combine and chill the ingredients before pouring them into the prepared shot glasses. Serve immediately, garnished with an additional crunchy piece of cereal on top if desired.

While you can use any brand of cinnamon-flavored cereal for these shots, feel free to substitute with a different type or flavor if Cinnamon Toast Crunch isn’t your go-to. Additionally, you’re not limited to using anything sticky on the rim to stick the cereal pieces; experiment with different adhesives to find what works best for you.
