Top 10 Popular Shot & Shooter Recipes

Today, September 22, marks the day for the fastest drinking record; Dustin Phillips of the United States consumed a 14 ounce bottle of Ketchup through a 1/4” straw in 33 seconds flat ten years ago. Ketchup seems a nasty ‘beverage’ to guzzle willingly, yet many enthusiastic participants flock to bars weekly to start (or end) the evening with the downing of a shot that none would eagerly sip slowly enough to take in the flavor or texture for a lingering moment on the tongue. Admittedly there are many shot recipes that make the conversion to cocktail easily. The Oatmeal Cookie shot is an outstanding example.

However, many prefer shots and shooters too horrid to down without holding the nose or throwing them back feverishly with a beer chaser or *gasp* water back. I know…I mentioned the word ‘water’ in a cocktail post. Ghastly! Yet, there are a few shot recipes that make the rounds of Top Ten Popular Shots, most searched for and ‘first one to come to mind’ when asked for best known mixed shot rather than straight liqueur (such as Jager or Zwack) .

1 ounce Butterscotch Schnapps

1/2 ounce Irish Cream

Pour Butterscotch Schnapps in bottom of a shot glass. Carefully layer Irish Cream on top to float. Shoot it!

At one time the Buttery Nipple was a favorite of mine, but I never could quite ‘shoot it’ due to the total sweetness of the concoction. I would sip it warm and end up with sticky lips. All the better with Baileys ‘Listen to Your Lips’ campaign. But the Buttery Nipple happens to be rather nice on the rocks with a pleasant rum addition. So, tweaking it just a bit…

Tweaked Buttery Nipple – recipe adapted by Cheri Loughlin, The Intoxicologist

1/2 ounce Butterscotch Schnapps

1/2 ounce Irish Cream

Build in the order given over fresh ice in a rocks glass. Add a stir stick.

1 pint Guinness Beer

1 shot Irish Cream

1 shot Irish Whiskey

Fill a pint glass two-thirds full of Guinness. Fill a *double shot glass with Jameson and Baileys. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness and chug its entirety immediately. *Use a plastic shot glass to prevent shot glass from chipping when dropping into the glass or bumping against your teeth when chugging.

I’ve not had the best experience with Irish Car Bombs. The realization that many people love them is astonishing since the Irish Cream curdles instantly in the beer glass. But hey, the Irish Car Bomb makes the top ten list of Best Shots for a reason. It’s a popularity contest and this one wins it.

Red Headed Slut

1 ounce Cranberry Juice Cocktail

1/2 ounce Peach Schnapps

3/4 ounce Jägermeister Herbal Liqueur

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into a large shot glass. Take this one fast for the sheer pleasure.

Is it the name, the taste or a little of both that get a rise out of the shot crowd? The Red Headed Slut goes for the mix of a cocktail, yet shoots straight for excitement.

2 packages Gelatin (flavor of choice)

Mix gelatin according to package instructions, except substitute vodka for the cold water in process. Use small plastic cups for forming gelatin into shots. Place in refrigerator or freezer. Whipped topping optional garnish for fun just before serving. Jello shots go contemporary with newer finger food style gelatin shots in the Mexican Truffle bite-sized dessert.

Lime flavored Jello shots fit in nicely for a green themed St. Patrick’s Day. Other favorite gelatin flavor favorites include Black Cherry, Blue Mixed Berry, Pineapple, Red and Orange according to Facebook and Twitter feedback.

Blow Job Shot – There are almost as many variations to this bachelorette party shot requirement as there are ways to blush while trying to order it at the bar. You know how it goes…the most timid member of the group has to order the shot and the bartender ‘pretends’ not to hear the order four or five times until the poor girl is practically screaming for a Blow Job Shot above the rest of the crowd. The frivolity just doesn’t stop since this shot requires the bride-to-be to find some tall, dark, handsome stranger to sit perfectly still while she places the Blow Job Shot between his knees and she takes the shot while on her knees without the use of her hands. The party just never stops… until that is the bride-to-be decides she wants a Screaming Orgasm, but that’s really just another shot.

Blow Job Shot 1

1/2 ounce Coffee Liqueur

1 ounce Irish Cream

Whipped Cream Topper

Blow Job Shot 2

1/2 ounce Amaretto Liqueur

1 ounce Coffee Liqueur

Whipped Cream Topper

Blow Job Shot 3

1/2 ounce Banana Liqueur

1/2 ounce Premium Orange Liqueur

1/2 ounce Coffee Liqueur

Whipped Cream Topper

Each recipe combines the same: Build in a shot glass in the order given. Top with a pile of whipped topping.

1-1/4 ounce Coffee Liqueur

Splash Club Soda

Build over ice. Serve with a straw.

The Mind Eraser gets placed within the shot realm, because it is supposed to be consumed with one fail swoop of a gulp through the straw. That’s one mighty head rush. Maybe this one should have been called Brain Freeze instead. True story: I had a message waiting for me on the phone late one evening. “What’s the recipe for a Mind Eraser?” I get a lot of these calls. Ironically, I forgot to return the phone call with the recipe. So, here it is!

1/4 ounce Coconut Rum

1/4 ounce Crème de Bananes

1/4 ounce Melon Liqueur

1/4 ounce Pineapple Juice

1/4 ounce Half & Half

Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into a shot glass.

The name Scooby Snack reminds me of Shaggy and Scooby hunting ghosts with a bag full of Scooby Snacks as reward. However, Scooby Snack is one of those shots that easily convert into a cocktail on the rocks. Double the measurements to make the drink 2-1/2 ounces in entirety and strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.

1/2 ounce Raspberry Liqueur

Combine first three ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to chill. Strain into a pony glass. Add splash of Sprite. Serve.

Not too long ago a reader left a comment for me; my classic cocktails ‘sucked.’ He wanted a Purple Hooter. Well, the classics aren’t mine. I could only wish for the creativity of the master bartenders from so long ago. The Purple Hooter happens to be a top ten favorite shot. It’s beautiful and in my opinion would be much better with a little lemon, less sour and no sprite, but then again, what do I know?!

1/2 ounce Hazelnut Liqueur

Lemon & Sugar Garnish

Coat lemon wedge with sugar. Set aside. Add liquid ingredients to cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to chill. Strain into a shot glass. Shoot the shot and then immediately bite and suck the sugar coated lemon.

Don’t ask me why, but it works and people swear by it. The grain of the sugar gives just the right amount of texture to this overly sweetened shot. Remember that water from earlier? You might want it about now.

1/2 ounce Lemon Vodka

1/4 ounce Hazelnut Liqueur

1/2 ounce Cranberry Juice

Place all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into a shot glass.

This one made the top ten listing of best shots to order at a bar, but it sounds a bit like Kellogg’s cereal.

Shots go fast which might make one go under quicker than they think. Alcohol content remains the same no matter how fast or slow the drink is slammed, so please consume responsibly.

YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE.

When you make the Nuts ‘n Berries.

can you use some other juice then Cranberry Juice?

Or will it destroy the drink ?

I was thinken like strawberry or pinapple ?

Hi Jen. It won’t “destroy” the drink to use a different juice. It will however change the ultimate flavor. By all means try different juices until you find another you like better. Perhaps a white grape or white cran-strawberry would even be good.

It won’t taste the same using different juice, but you might like it even better. Try it!

ah yes..I use all of those in my repertoire … fantastic go to shots when they say, “I don’t know what I want….What should I have?!”

100+ Great Recipes for Fun Party Shots and Shooters

Mix 'em up and Slam 'em Down

Shooters are short, potent drinks that are mixed with a combination of spirits, liqueurs and non-alcoholic mixers while shots only contain ingredients that are alcoholic.

Both shooters and shots are served in shot glasses and consumed with one tip of the glass.

This index of recipes includes some of the most popular shooters and shots that are fun to consume with friends at parties or a night on the town.

While it should go without saying, drinking too many shots can cause you get you very drunk, often before you know it, and should be done in moderation. Remember to drink responsibly and designate a driver.

The 25 Greatest Shots to Do at a Bar

A deep ranking of the most common—and least offensive.

I'll be honest, I hate shots. I feel they're always a) a waste of savoring great alcohol or b) a quick way to get swill into your system. Neither option is all that appealing, even for someone who likes to drink his face off.

Still, if shots are going to exist, then they need to be ranked.

What makes a great shot? What makes a bad shot? Here's our deep assessment of the 25 most common.

The worst mainly due to the silly ceremony surrounding it. No person looks cool wincing while biting into a dirty lime garnish after having just licked Kosher salt off his grimy forearm.

Is literally prepared with a cake mix. Which raises the point: why are you going to a bar that has a box of Betty Crocker's SuperMoist® in the speed well?

23. Any shot topped with whipped cream

Ordering your morning Frappuccino with an aerosol can squeeze of Reddi-Wip on top is bad enough. Making your bartender add a dollop to your "Blow Job" shot is even worse. Although…

22. Any shot with a sexualized name

Buttery Nipple, Redheaded Slut, Sex on the Beach. The only more humiliating food order in this world is having to tell your favorite Italian deli to give you their "Fuhgeddaboudit" hero.

And now The Cos has even made a long-time college staple feel unsavory!

The world's only "breakfast" shot is meant to cure hangovers. But if you're drinking a concoction of brandy, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, and a raw egg at 9 a.m, you've got bigger problems in your life than a widdle headache.

Don't make the poor bartender get out his Boston shaker just so you and your lame buddies can shoot a round of Lemon Drops to celebrate another Quidditch championship. A shot is an ounce-and-a-half of liquid—all of it should be booze.

Tastes like drinking a candy cane. That was considered a good thing in the late-'90s. For some reason.

This was the shot "of the moment" when I was in college. I'm not even sure if the 'chläger is still being made. Probably because 95% of my generation died of gold-flake poisoning. We lost a lot of good men and women.

Like ice sculptures for people who think carved swan centerpieces are just missing a little something!

I've come around on Jäger. As an ingredient. I have not come around on it as a shot. Still, it's perhaps the only shot so popular it necessitates it's own "shot machine" in your average bar.

When I was a youth, it seemed that many bars advertised having discounted kamikaze shots on their drinks menu as an enticing lure. Of course, I grew up in Oklahoma City in the '80s so take that for what it's worth.

The only shot meant to be sucked down, or rather up through a straw in one fell swoop. I feel like I mainly see this Kahlúa/vodka shot when I'm at cheesy Florida bars. Why exactly do I need my mind erased when I'm in warm, sun-soaked Florida?

It's like a bottle of Scope just sitting there on the bar's bottom shelf. A perfectly subtle way to freshen your stanky drunkard breath.

At best, culturally offensive; at worst, dropped into a shaker pint of Diet Red Bull while a dude in a tank top fist pumps behind you. Still, kinda fun to pound though.

10. Any shot Tom Cruise mentions in his epic Cocktail monologue (to wit)

The Three-Toed Sloth, The Velvet Hammer, The Alabama Slammer. I've never had any of these, but that scene is awesome. As Tom says, ". if you wanna get loaded, why don't you just order a shot?"

Vodka shots suck. But lifting a wooden ski with several shot glasses of vodka Super Glued to it? More impressive teamwork than the Showtime Lakers running the fastbreak.

I believe only people who have been contestants on Real World/Road Rules Challenge actually do these on a typical night out. Still, slurping something out of some reality star's dirty belly button? That's. cool.

Gets a bad rap, but that's a bit underserved in my opinion. Sure, this cheap, cinnamon-y, lower-proof faux-whiskey is a totally childish slug, but it's admittedly tasty. And the one shot everyone in a big group is usually able to handle. Bars love Fireball shots too for their high margins. Getting drunk and helping pay your favorite bar's electric bill? I call that a win-win situation.

The only socially acceptable "Bomb." Though, perhaps only accepted at your local American Legion or that one dive bar that serves a free pot roast on Sundays.

Way underrated. The gorgeous green liqueur almost glows in the dim bar lights and is far more alcoholic than you'd imagine. "Hey, is that dude French?" people will wonder. And with all that sugar, it's far easier to down than you'd think. Still. kinda pricy.

Alcohol is cool. Fire is cool. Lighting alcohol on fire is waaaaay cool. These sizzlin' fajitas of the shot world will make every other bar patron turn their head in awe, as you casually extinguish your Flaming Dr. Pepper before pouring it down your gullet. (Bonus! You've most certainly just breached a local fire code or two.)

I'm a pretentious drinks writer for an upscale men's magazine and, thus, contractually obligated to list this digestif high on the list. Great for ending the night.

2. Any shot a foreigner hands you

Ouzo, raki, pastis, something homemade and poured out of an old Pepsi bottle, it's doesn't matter. There's no more common international language than getting blotto together.

Doesn't matter if it's good or bad, if it's bourbon, rye, scotch, or from Tennessee, Ireland, or even Canada. Whiskey is the world's finest spirit and whether you drink it neat, on ice, in a cocktail, or with an abrupt back-tilt of your neck, it's still perfect. Now why don't you slowly savor your next round, fella?

Cocktail Recipes

Born in the 1970s during the days of disco, the Kamikaze is an easy-to-make shooter that's perfect for knocking back quickly and getting the party started. While there are many variations of this pre-game favorite, this rendition has a citrus-dominatiing flavor that will have you back on the dance floor in no time. No chaser needed.

Boilermaker

Go old-school with this straightforward whiskey and beer concoction.

Add tequila to spicy Mexican hot chocolate and you'll get this delicious shot recipe.

Hornitos Holiday Horchata

This tequila shot recipe is perfect for the holidays.

Tough to Hear

Hollywood bartender Chris Hewes would serve this spicy absinthe-based shot to a movie star who didn't win an Oscar.

Master Cleanse

Our take on the lemon juice and maple syrup detox craze has a special spirited twist.

Believed to have originated in the 1970 by a bartender and fan of the iconic band, the B-52 is classic guilty pleasure armed with three liqueurs. Make this layered shooter in seconds and impress all your friends.

It takes a steady hand to make this layered shot.

Snap, Crackle, Drop

The classic tequila shot gets a master mixologist’s upgrade.

Tequila Furnace

Fire up a traditional tequila shot with a little hot sauce.

Agave Drop

All the flavors of a Margarita are distilled down into this tasty shot.

Spanish Raindrop

If only the precipitation in the United States was this delicious…

Cocoa Passion

Tropical fruit, crème de cacao and fine tequila will please your palate.

Mink Coat and No Manners

A dressed-up tequila shot that’s ready to go out.

The Irish Car Bomb

Contrary to what most may believe, the Irish Car Bomb was actually created in Connecticut during the late 1970s. With the same formula as the popular Jäger Bomb, making an Irish Car Bomb is easy. Grab a pint and detonate this guilty pleasure.

5 Premixed Cocktail Shots

Like most people who look back fondly on a great night out, the turning point of the evening, when all the fun truly began, was when someone had the brilliant idea to order a round of shots.

Notation: The irony of flaming a Liberace cocktail is juvenile at best. Especially since it can be a dangerous proposition while under the influence of a few cocktails. Recommendation: Skip the fire.
