History
The origin of the Scooby Snack Shot is somewhat of a mystery. Some believe that it was named after a discontinued fruit snack with the same name and bright green color. Others speculate that it was named after Shaggy’s green shirt or the Mystery Machine Van. Some say it has nothing to do with Scooby Doo, and instead is named after its creator, a Japanese holistic doctor named Nishiwaki Scooby. Despite its uncertain origins, this fruity cocktail shot has become a popular drink among fans and cocktail enthusiasts alike.
It is believed that the Scooby Snack Shot emerged in the 1990s when fruity cocktails were all the rage. The drink is typically made with melon liqueur, coconut-flavored rum, and pineapple juice. Some variations also include heavy cream or creme de banana.
The Scooby Snack Shot is not officially related to the Scooby-Doo series, but fans of the show have embraced it. In the original series and subsequent iterations, the character of Scooby-Doo likes to eat “Scooby Snacks,” a fictional snack food that resembles biscuit-like dog treats.
