How to Make Hot Damn Shot?
You’ll need a shaker with some ice in order to chill this shot. In the shaker, add all the liquors, rum, vodka and whiskey to the shaker and shake for a minute.
Then strain the ingredients into a shot glass. Top off with orange juice for a slight layered effect and serve.
This is a shot and so it’s meant to be downed in one gulp. Then say, “hot damn” for full effect!
Hot Damn Shooter Ingredients
- Whiskey (American)
- Orange Juice
- Rum
- Vodka
About the Ingredients
Seeing this is a shot and is a highly mixed one at that, using quality liqueur isn’t an issue. In fact, any well liquor will do just fine. This is a great bar shot as you don’t need to spend a lot to make one. So just use whatever you have.
The only thing is don’t use Scotch for this, it’s meant to be made with an American type whisky like Jim Beam or Jack Daniel’s.
Recipe Variations
The best alternative to this drink would be to add the actual DeKuyper® Hot Damn!® Cinnamon Schnapps Liqueur rather than the whiskey for a warmer overall flavor.
I must admit, I haven’t tried this yet, but it just seems like it would work well. So if you happen to get a chance to try it before I do, please let me know and I’ll add your feedback here!
