Shots and shooters are short, potent drinks that are mixed with a combination of spirits, liqueurs and non-alcoholic mixers such as juices. While on the other hand, shots only contain ingredients that are alcoholic. Both shooters and shots are served in shot glasses and consumed with one tip of the glass. The traditional shot glass is 1 ounce, however shooters that are mixed with juices are best served in a double 2 ounce shot glass.
When mixing shots there is no real measurements, you just make sure to put enough to fit all the ingredients. Some shots are layered, others are shaken or stirred in a mixer with ice and strained into the shot glass. No matter how you make them, they all go down the same way.
Shots are always a lot of fun. There are so many combinations to choose from. Whatever taste you are craving, you can most definitely acquire from a shot. The best part is, if you did not get it right the first time, you can try again, it will take more than 2 or 3 shots of mixed shots to get you drunk, especially if they are cut with different juices, however be weary of mixing multiple liquors such as rum, vodka, tequila, etc together. Shooting down too many of those in a row will most definitely make you sick.
No matter how many bars you will ever enter in your life, you will always come across shots that your bartender has never heard of. People invent new shots every day, however the problem is a lot of those shots have already been invented, someone just wanted to give it a different name. We are trying our best to ensure you do not get multiple drinks that are exactly the same with different names, we will go by the most popular names available. |  | - When you are working with a drink that requres multiple liquors (4+), you may want to consider using a low-hat mixer. This way you can strain just enough into the shot glass and never have to worry about "not getting it all".
- For the most part, if you are not trying to layer a drink, don't worry about trying to measure each and every part of your shot, it's a shot... Do not drive yourself crazy. Just throw everything in the glass, however it fits, and serve it.
- ALL vodka should be kept ice cold, and when I say ice, I mean ICE. You should always make sure to keep your vodka in the freezer at all times. It will not freeze over, however it will enhance its quality, espicically when you put a top shelf vodka like Belvedere, or Grey Goose in the freezer, it will make the liquor go down extremely smooth, and you will most definitally gain that fire & ice feeling in your chest.
