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.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is the bottle behind a whole shelf of dessert drinks: a sweet, 30-proof butterscotch schnapps that tastes like melted butter and brown sugar candy. It pours a deep golden amber, smells of buttered caramel, vanilla and a faint creamy note, and finishes clean and gently warming. Buttershots isn't built for slow sipping in a nosing glass. It's built for the home bar, where it anchors the Buttery Nipple with Irish cream, the Oatmeal Cookie shot and the Burning Bush, and slips easily into a Butterscotch Martini or Butterscotch White Russian. It also earns its keep outside the glass, drizzled over vanilla ice cream or stirred into cocoa, coffee or apple cider. It suits anyone stocking a first party bar as well as the host who just needs the classic ingredient on hand. We carry it because it's one of the longest-running bottles in the DeKuyper cordials range, from a house tracing its roots to 1695, and it delivers that familiar butterscotch flavor reliably.
Pairs well with
- Vanilla or caramel ice cream — A drizzle of Buttershots layers its buttery brown sugar and caramel notes right onto the creamy dessert.
- Fall apple cider gathering — Mixed into apple cider, its butterscotch and vanilla sweetness turns a seasonal mug into an easy crowd-pleaser.
- After-dinner coffee — A splash in hot coffee adds a smooth caramelized butterscotch finish without needing a separate dessert.
