The Screaming Blue Viking is a strong shot that tastes like mint, with hints of honey and oak – and orange, if you use too much blue curacao. It’s a chilled shot that’s easy on the palate, which makes it a good choice for serving to guests.
The mint flavor comes from the Rumple Minze, which is a schnapps that tastes like a candy cane. If you can’t find it, you can make a candy cane vodka infusion, but it would turn the drink purple.

Since this recipe just calls for “parts” and “splashes” rather than ounces and tablespoons, it’s easy to make in any quantity you want.
Mix a big batch in a pitcher before a party and serve as either shots or cocktails. It’s also great for drinking games, like any tasty blue shot.
Some of you have asked me where I got these shot glasses. Unfortunately, they aren’t made anymore. But they’re often on Ebay, so check this link to find a set. Or this one.
