How to Make Liquid Cocaine Shot
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Start by assembling all your ingredients. Having everything ready makes the process smoother and quicker.
Step 2: Measure the Liquors
Using a jigger, measure out 1/2 oz of Jägermeister, Goldschläger, and Bacardi 151. Accurate measurements ensure a balanced flavor.
Step 3: Add to the Shaker
Pour the measured liquors into a shaker. This helps mix the flavors well and chill the shot.
Step 4: Shake with Ice
Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds. Shaking chills the mixture and blends the flavors beautifully.
Step 5: Strain into Shot Glass
Carefully strain the mixture into a shot glass. Straining keeps the shot smooth and free of any ice shards.
Step 6: Top with Energy Drink
Pour a splash of your chosen energy drink on top of the shot. This adds sweetness and a fizzy finish.
Step 7: Garnish (Optional)
If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a small piece of cinnamon stick. It enhances the aroma and presentation.
Step 8: Serve Immediately
Serve the shot right away for the best experience. The combination of flavors is most enjoyable when fresh.
Pro Tip: For an extra kick, light the Bacardi 151 on fire before serving, but do so with caution!
