Dekuyper Butterscotch Schnapps Buttershots Liqueur
DeKuyper Butterscotch Schnapps Buttershots is a sweet, dessert-forward liqueur that captures the instantly recognizable flavor of melted butter and brown sugar candy. It pours a deep golden amber and opens with aromas of buttered caramel, vanilla, and a faint creamy-dairy note. Buttershots is one of the longest-running bottles in the DeKuyper cordials and liqueurs range, a go-to for classic shots and dessert cocktails.
On the palate expect smooth, rich butterscotch candy, caramel, and vanilla with a clean, gently warming finish. Buttershots is the backbone of classic recipes like the Buttery Nipple (with Irish cream), the Oatmeal Cookie shot, and the Burning Bush. It also makes an easy add to hot cocoa, coffee cocktails, and dessert martinis. Try it drizzled over vanilla or caramel ice cream, mixed into apple cider, or floated onto pumpkin-spice cocktails for extra richness.
DeKuyper Cordials and Liqueurs traces its roots back more than 300 years to the Dutch distilling house founded in 1695. Today the DeKuyper lineup spans dozens of classic and modern liqueur expressions produced for the U.S. market, with Buttershots sitting comfortably near the top of the bartender cheat-sheet.
