Truffle Shots is an artisanal dessert brand based in Essex, Connecticut. Started by a mother and daughter duo, the company creates drinkable truffle creations that are each served in a traditional shot glass.
Inspiring a pop-up bar that opened its doors in Reston Town Center last December, the brand is known for a variety of rich flavor offerings -- including gourmet-themed favorites like minted grapefruit, champagne vinaigrette and caramel beurre noisette.
Unlike most traditional truffles, these artisanal creations are served in shot glasses and are designed to mimic craft spirits and cocktails. This fun element makes them a dessert to remember and is likely to gain the attention of Millennial consumers who are looking to make the most out of their indulgences.
