Ashot (sometimesshooter) is a small serving ofspirits or amixed drink (usually about 1.0–1.5 US fluid ounces or 30–44 millilitres), typically consumed quickly, often in a single gulp. It is common to serve a shot as a side to a larger drink.[1]
Shots can be shaken, stirred, blended, layered, or simply poured.Shot glasses orsherry glasses are the usualdrinkware in which shots are served. They are most commonly served atbars, and somebartenders have their own signature shot.
The ingredients of shots vary from bartender to bartender and from region to region. Two shots can have the same name but different ingredients, resulting in two very different tastes.
Jägerbomb, or Bulldozer, or Blaster: ashot glass withJägermeister dropped into a glass of half a can ofRed Bull. In German speaking countries this drink is called Fliegender Hirsch (Flying Deer). It can also be made by filling ashot glass with halfJägermeister and halfRed Bull or by placing a shot glass full ofJägermeister at the bottom of a glass and filling withRed Bull.
Baby Guinness: Two thirds to three quarters of a shot glass filled withcoffee liqueur.Irish Cream poured gently, over the back of a spoon, onto the top of the liqueur. The finished result should give the impression, if done correctly, of a tiny pint ofStout.
Lemon Drop: A chilled shot of lemon-flavored vodka served with a lemon wedge covered in sugar. One takes the shot, then bites the lemon. Vodka with lemon juice can be substituted if no lemon-flavored vodka is available.
