How to Create a New Alcoholic Shot

If you're looking for a creative way to try a new alcoholic drink, consider creating your own shot. These mini-drinks are designed to give you a quick jolt of flavor, and are often made to taste like other mixed drinks, or even candy and fruit. Follow these tips to create a new alcoholic shot.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Jigger
• Cocktail shaker
• Shot glass

1. Think about the flavors that you like in your alcoholic drinks when choosing the flavors for your shot. You might be drawn to sweeter alcohols like schnapps or rum. Or, you might favor more savory flavors and want to use ingredients like olive juice or tomato juice.

2. Review the names and ingredients of other shots. You can check out local bar menus, search drink making websites, or read up in a bartender's guide. When creating a new alcoholic shot, originality is key, and you don't want to duplicate a popular shot.

3. Decide on the alcohol and mixers you will use to create your shot. Some shots are made entirely of alcohol, and some are mixed with non-alcoholic beverages.

4. Name your shot. Try to determine a name that references some of the unique qualities of the shot you have created or gives a hint about the ingredients or alcohol it contains.

5. Try different combinations of measurements until your new shot tastes perfect. Measure with a jigger, pour each ingredient into a cocktail shaker, shake and strain into a fresh shot glass.

Tips & Warnings

• Never drink and drive. Before you begin tasting your new shot creations, designate a sober driver if you are away from home.
