The Fuzzy Monkey is a fruity little shot – mostly orange juice, but there are also some peach and banana notes. The overall effect is a slightly mellowed orange. The neat thing about this shooter is that it’s not hard-liquor based. The small amount of vodka is overwhelmed by the fruit juice and liqueurs, making it a very smooth little ... Read More »
The Sabra Shooter is one of the tastiest shots you’ll ever taste. Forget chugging; this one deserves slow, thoughtful sips as you roll it around in your mouth. This drink was named for an Israeli chocolate-orange liqueur, and that’s just what it tastes like. If you’ve ever had a “chocolate orange” (an orange-shaped piece of chocolate flavored with orange), then ... Read More »
The Just Shoot Me is one heck of a shooter. Despite featuring 6 types of hard liquor with no mixers in site, it’s surprisingly smooth and can actually sneak up on you. There’s no need to toss this one quickly down before you taste it, though. It’s composed of three decent quality whiskeys that taste great in a cocktail, plus ... Read More »
I’m not sure what the three stages of friendship are, but Three Stages of Friendship is a delicious shot. It blends Jack Daniels, tequila and rum in equal parts. And given how friendly each of these liquors is, it’s hard to imagine they wouldn’t get along fabulously. Maybe even have a party. Maybe even be the life of a party! ... Read More »
The Green Beret is a sneaky shooter. It’s so flavorful you don’t immediately realize it’s pure alcohol, so you might tend to overindulge before you realize. The taste is strong peppermint – it’s not very sweet, though, so it’s not the frou-frou drink you might think it is at first glance. This is a fun drink when you want something ... Read More »
The Zoo Station is one of those slightly creamy, rather sweet little treats that features Irish cream. Don’t automatically turn it down if you hate Bailey’s – first of all, there are other brands of Irish cream (I’m partial to Carolan’s), and second, it’s not the dominant flavor in this drink. In this cocktail, the Irish cream flavor is subdued ... Read More »
The Southern Chase is a shot that blends equal parts Galliano, Southern Comfort and Jim Beam to create a taste that’s rather unique. The mellow peach undertones of the Southern Comfort and the sharper licorice-like taste of the Galliano smooth out the Jim… or is it the other way around? This drink may be an acquired taste for some, but ... Read More »
The Southern Pink Flamingo is a tiny little shot that somehow manages to have five ingredients. If you like things that are small and complicated, this one is right up your alley. All kidding aside, this is a delicious little drink. The main flavor is fruit – sweet and tart – but with a background of mild coconut flavor that ... Read More »
