"Today I'm going to demonstrate how to mix an A Bomb shooter. This is a coffee based shooter. Just for your information every shooter consists of 1.5 ounces of alcohol. We are going to start off by taking our ice and filling up a 16 ounce mixing glass. Your going to want something to cool down the shot when we mix it. We are going to mix our vodka, we're using well, but feel free to use any vodka of your choice and a coffee liquor. We are using Kahlua in this case but also feel free to substitute that. So we are going to go 1/2 of an ounce to 1/2 of an ounce or two count on each. So simply one and two is going to give you your desired pour. After that your going to take your cold coffee, just make sure that behind any bar you keep a pot of cold coffee. Just make sure that behind any bar you keep a pot of warm coffee and a pot of cold coffee. Cold coffee for shots or drinks that already have ice in them. Warm coffee for anything where your adding alcohol to the drink. We're just going to pour a splash or about 1/2 an ounce in to the glass as well. From there we are going to mix and shake all of our ingredients between the mixing tin and a 16 ounce mixing glass. Remove the top of that, grab your Hawthorne strainer, put it over the top of the mixing glass and pour the ingredients directly into your shot glass. That is an A Bomb. A shot you'll most definitely enjoy."
