How to Make the Jackhammer

Shots are usually served for groups of people to drink together.

There is nothing like a round of shots to kick off a night of partying, and there's no quicker way to get everybody in the mood than a round of shots. The Jackhammer, half tequila and half whiskey, is one shot that will get everybody started. However, be careful about slamming too many or your brain may feel like it's being jackhammered the next morning.

Things You'll Need

• Shot glass
• Whiskey or bourbon
• Tequila

Instructions

1. 

   Place a clean shot glass on your bar surface. You can use a larger glass if you would like a bigger drink. However, do not rim the glass with anything like lime juice or salt.

2. 

   Pour the shot half full with whiskey. This Jack Hammer is named after Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, but any type will do.

3. 

   Fill the rest of the shot glass with tequila. If you want to smooth out this drink somewhat, use a clear or Silver tequila which is easier to drink than gold-colored tequila.

4. 

   Serve straight up with no garnish.

Tips & Warnings

• Add a few splashes of hot pepper sauce to the Jackhammer to make a Redneck Prarie Fire.

• Please be cautious when drinking the Jackhammer or other shots. Do not consume more than one in a short period of time. Do not attempt to drive after consuming.
