Step-by-Step Guide to Mixing the Perfect Breakfast Shot
-
- Prepare your shot glasses: Start by chilling the shot glasses in the freezer. This extra step will make your shot cold and refreshing, enhancing the flavors.
-
- Combine the whiskey and butterscotch schnapps: Measure 1 ounce each of whiskey and butterscotch schnapps. Pour these into a shot glass.
-
- Serve the orange juice separately: In another glass, pour 1 ounce of orange juice. This is meant to be a chaser, so keep it on hand to follow the shot.
-
- Garnish with bacon: If you’re using bacon, add a slice to the side of the shot glass. This creates a salty, savory balance and adds to the “breakfast” feel of the drink.
Each step is straightforward, making this shot easy to prepare whether it’s for yourself or for a group. The combination of flavors may surprise you, but they come together beautifully, blending sweetness, warmth, and a refreshing finish.
