A Bit About Shot's
Shots are roughly one to four ounces of any alcoholic beverage. Though this can include wine or beer, the idea of the “shot” usually refers to liquor or spirits. These alcohol shots may be mixed with different alcohols or simply an ounce of one strong type of alcohol, but either way they are usually served in a shot glass and meant to be swallowed as quickly as possible.
Alcohol shots are best known for their unique names. A “Duck Fart,” for instance, is made from ¾ oz of Kahlua, ¾ oz of Bailey’s Irish Cream and ¾ oz of Canadian Whisky, all served in the same glass.
Shooters have evolved over time to include other shapes and sizes as well. The “bomb glass” is a glass that is essentially a double shot, where the bottom (or side) is some type of beverage, and the middle is a shot, usually reserved for the harder of the two alcohols. A “Jager Bomb” is a shot that is served in one of these glasses, where the outside of the shot glass is Red Bull, and the inside of the shot glass is Jagermeister.
Popular Alcohol Shots
Any conceivable mixture of alcohol can be tried and tasted, but some alcohol shots are more well known. For example:
- Buttery Nipple – ½ Butterscotch Shots and ½ Irish Cream.
- Peppermint Patty – ½ Baileys Irish Cream and ½ Mint Schnapps
- Kamikaze – 1 oz tequila, 1 oz Triple Sec, 1 oz lime juice
- China White – ½ oz Vodka, ½ oz Bailey’s, ½ oz White crème de cacao
- Y2K Shot – 1 part Kahlua, 2 Parts Yukon Jack Canadian Whiskey
Shot ingredients can change depending on bartender and preference. In addition, people are consistently developing new shots that are not well known, using interesting combinations of liquors and equally interesting names. For example, one drink that is just now starting to grow in popularity is known as “Smurf Piss”:
- 1/5 shot Jagermeister
- 1/5 shot Bacardi 151
- 1/5 shot Rumple Minze
- 1/5 shot Goldschlager
- 1/5 shot Blue Curacao
Each of these new alcohol shots tries to take advantage of a “shock name” based on the color, taste and ingredients that go into it. With so many liquor flavors, it is likely that a new drink is created every day.
