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 a 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.

Ground cinnamon to serve.
