Melktert shooters (better known as “melktertjies”) is quite the modern South African shooter. It smells and tastes like melktert (South African milk tart) with a bit of kick and can turn people who never bothered with shooters or cocktails before, into melktert shooter enthusiasts within a single sip.
There are a few variations of this most sought-after recipe, but the basic ingredients remain the same. We settled for the following melktertjie recipe.
Makes approximately 860 ml
Ingredients:
· One 375 ml bottle Vodka (you can reduce it to 300 ml if you prefer less kick)
· One 395 gram (300ml) tin of condensed milk (use up to two cans to make it thicker and sweeter)
· Half of a 375 ml tin evaporated milk
· Ground cinnamon to serve
Method:
1. Mix well, using a food processer or whisk, and bottle, or simply pour the ingredients into a 1-litle bottle and shake well.
2. Keep in the fridge. Shake well before pouring into shooter or shot glasses.
3. Sprinkle each melktertjie with ground cinnamon and serve chilled.
