Mounds Bar
1 oz. Bols Creme de Cacao (Dark)
1 oz. Malibu coconut rum
Place the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and serve in a shot glass. Enjoy !
It’s been a little while since we shared a shot where it’s supposed to taste like a delicious food. Today we believe we have a pretty good one for you. Previously, we shared a recipe for Liquid Snickers. It received a 5 on our scale of 5 and tasted awesome. Today we present to you the Mounds Bar.
Now in that December 30 recipe for Liquid Snickers, I said that I absolutely love a Snickers bar. More than Mounds or Kit Kat. And that is true. But don’t get me wrong; a Mounds Bar or an Almond Joy are pretty freakin’ good too ! And I’ve never been one to turn my back on a Watchamacallit either. Or even just a regular ol’ Hershey’s Bar. Or M&M’s.
But I digress.
With its tasty combination of chocolate and coconut, a Mounds Bar has always been a sweet snack or lunch dessert. And the simple ingredients in today’s recipe do a really admirable job of capturing this fine confection. All you need is Malibu coconut rum—which just about any self-respecting home bar should have on its shelf. And you need a good label of creme de cacao (the dark variety). While the posted recipe calls for Bols Creme de Cacao, you can also feel free to use the slightly more expensive Marie Brizard Creme de Cacao. Both will suffice just fine for this scrumptious shooter.
And as simple as this 1-2 punch is, the panel positively loved it. The coconut and chocolate meld together to taste like a melted (or liquid) Mounds candy bar. It is pretty sweet tasting without being overwhelming or too rich. It goes down very smooth, although I myself am not even sure you need to shake it over ice. It tastes wonderful chilled…..and I know many people keep candy bars in their refrigerator….but I think it would be just as delicious if it were served at room temp. Just as many people keep their candy bars in a cupboard and eat them “warm” —-for lack of a better term.
Either way, this shot was enjoyed by all. However, we feel we can only give it a 4 on our scale of 5. That mark is almost entirely based on the awesome taste. But you’d have to drink a number of these to light your fire. And while the two-ingredient combination is interesting and a touch creative, it is still only two ingredients. The Liquid Snickers employed four components. We simply felt that of the two, the Liquid Snickers deserved a slightly higher mark for its creativity and multiple ingredients. But we certainly wanted to reward the Mounds Bar fairly for being as good as it is.
So if you are having a little dinner party with friends who would enjoy a sweet dessert shot, make up a batch of each. Let them decide which one is better. It would generate some fun conversation and you’ll save money on getting a more expensive traditional dessert.
Cheers !!

Blonde Bimbo
1/2 oz. Malibu coconut rum
1/2 oz. Hiram Walker peach schnapps
1/2 oz. Tuaca citrus liqueur
1/2 oz. Dole pineapple juice
Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into glass.
This recipe comes to us from a friend of mine named Beth who bartends at a little pub called Spanky’s out in Lyons, Illinois. I’ve known Beth for a good 20 years now and she’s as blonde as the day I first met her. In fact, she used to have a huge party every year that she called the Blonde Bimbo Bash. There’d be flyers up all over town and she’d get a turnout of at least 250 people every year. It was a great party with a rockin’ band playing and then her mom would always be at the entrance collecting tickets / money from partygoers. So you always spent a few minutes saying ” HI ” to mom before actually going on in to the party.
Now married and the mother of a son herself, Beth doesn’t throw the Blonde Bimbo Bash anymore. But she tends bar on weekends to make a little side money and she shared this little ditty with me over the weekend and suggested the team give it a try.
This is the first time we have used Tuaca citrus liqueur and we had to send office lackey Keith down to the liquor store to get it. Tuaca is an Italian liqueur with a slightly sweet taste and an amber color. It is based from a fine, cask-aged brandy base and has a fruity flavor of vanilla and citrus. While not overtly expensive, this 70 proof brand might run you about $22-27 in a good liquor store.
Whenever we try a recipe from a friend’s suggestion—-especially a bartender friend—–we strongly encourage you to stick to the exact ingredients. So in this case, there are a variety of peach schnapps out there for you to choose from, but Hiram Walker is a rather inexpensive brand and we think you should stick with it. If you are going to change any of the ingredients for budget reasons, go with whatever pineapple juice you prefer the most.
The shot was very fruit flavored and was quite pleasant going down. When a shot has a tropical theme or anticipated flavor to it, I always like it served nice and chilled. Which the Blonde Bimbo is. Who likes it when their morning OJ or a glass of fruit juice gets warm? You have an abundance of fruit flavoring here with the pineapple, the coconut rum, the citrus liqueur, and the peach schnapps. While the coconut and the pineapple seemed the most pronounced to me, a few others on the team felt that the citrus liqueur was at the forefront. We all agreed the peach flavoring was probably the least identifiable.
ShareMyShot gives this tropical blend a 3 on a scale of 5. There was some solid discussion about giving it a 4. However, it doesn’t pack a major wallop and the pineapple juice and the peach schnapps held our score down to a 3. If it was the middle of July or August and we had the A/C cranking in the office, we just might have awarded it a 4. It is more of a summertime shot.
Thanks to Beth at Spankys in Lyons, Illinois for sharing this recipe. Drop in and see the original Blonde Bimbo sometime. She’s a real sweetheart.
Cheers !!

Kryptonite
3 /4 oz. Captain Morgan Original spiced rum
3 /4 oz. Malibu coconut rum
3 /4 oz. Midori melon liqueur
3 /4 oz. Dole pineapple juice
1 splash Bacardi 151 rum
Combine all of the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into a shot glass and serve. Enjoy !
Today’s recipe is for those of you who like your rum. It employs the three biggest names in the American rum consuming business. Not that all of them are American-made brands; the Bacardi family and their plant originate from Puerto Rico. {If you ever fly into San Juan and have a few hours to kill, by all means visit the Bacardi plant}. We’re just saying that the three labels involved in this recipe are the most commonly recognized / stocked rums in American bars and liquor stores.
You have your Captain Morgan rum which seems to be the most popular rum on the market over the last few years based on a huge advertising campaign. Whenever I go to bars these days or take a girl out, the popular drink is Captain and Coke or Captain and Sprite.
Then you have the tasty Malibu coconut rum and the more potent Bacardi 151 rum.
The other components to this shot that would allegedly bring Superman himself to his knees are our old friend Midori melon liqueur and pineapple juice. The recipe says to use Dole pineapple juice, but really you could use any damn pineapple juice you want. You could probably even go with a different brand of melon liqueur like the usual suspects: Potter’s, Bols, Hiram Walker, or DeKuyper.
We made our shooters straight from the recipe. We wanted to see if this rum-heavy bad boy would really take us to the Fortress of Solitude or would it end up being Lois Lame.
The shot wasn’t too bad, but it didn’t blow any of our socks off on the taste team. It was fruity tasting thanks to the coconut rum and the pineapple juice. The melon liqueur was a little hard to identify. It tasted slightly Pina Colada-esque. The taste team tried several rounds of this supposedly lethal weapon, but we must be a little tougher than the ol’ Man of Steel. While we did feel a little bit of a zing after five rounds, it was more tasty than powerful. And it wasn’t quite as tasty as some of the recipes we have had the privilege to sample lately.
ShareMyShot gives this rummy combination a 3 on a scale of 5. We give it credit for trying hard. But in the end, there was no getting past that it was a union of the Big 3 rum brands with a little pineapple juice in it. Oh yeah…and the hardly discernable melon liqueur. It is a pleasant tasting, soothing little number. But we just couldn’t give it a higher grade due to its limited creativity and so-so kick.
I think Superman could put away a bunch of these before he started to feel his super powers start to fade.
Cheers !!

Pain in the Ass
1 oz. Midori melon liqueur
1/2 oz. Bacardi 151 rum
1 oz. Malibu coconut rum
1/2 oz. DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker schnapps
2 oz. Dole pineapple juice
2 oz. 7-Up soda
Pour the Midori melon liqueur, the Bacardi 151, the Sour Apple Pucker, and the Malibu Rum into a large double shot glass or a highball glass. Top it off with equal parts pineapple juice and 7-Up. Stir and serve.
We wanted to share a daring shot with you for the first recipe of 2010. And it doesn’t get more daring than the Pain in the Ass. Here’ s a shot that calls for a half-dozen different ingredients and is a 7 oz. shooter / drink. Just making it was a bit of a pain in the ass according to our corporate bartender.
Sometimes we do offer up a recipe that could be argued to be more of a ‘drink’ rather than a shot.
But we look at it this way: a typical “bomb” shot is usually at least 4-6 oz. I have a buddy who makes Jagerbombs with about 1/3 of a highball glass of Jagermeister and then a good 1/2 glass of Red Bull. When you drink it, it requires 3-4 swallows to get it down. So if a recipe calls for a highball glass or upwards of 6-7 fluid oz. we just look at it as a “bomb” shot.
Sometimes you just have to quaff down a big ol’ shot in the name of corporate research, ya know? Nobody ever said this job was easy. If the shot is a big one and tastes like balls, the luster of being on the ShareMyShot taste team wears off just a little bit. Not all of them are 5 star shots.
And the Pain in the Ass is certainly no 5 star shot.
We think there is just a little too much at work here. We reward creativity and an unusual blend of ingredients. But in this case, there was too much competition for dominance. The melon liqueur and the coconut rum are a nice combination. We’ve seen it before in other recipes for fruity, tropical, Carribean-type shots. And even adding in the Bacardi 151 doesn’t interfere with those flavors. The 151 rum is actually welcomed to add a little punch to the shot.
The pineapple juice is another tolerable ingredient to add to those first three components. But then when you add in the Apple Pucker and then 7-Up soda too………that made it a bit much.
I haven’t had a ton of shots that call for 7-Up soda or even Sierra Mist, Sprite, etc. And in this case, it contributed a fizzy, carbonated element that we felt interfered somewhat with the fruitier flavors. And the Apple Pucker seemed misplaced in this recipe.
ShareMyShot.com gives this elaborate mix a 1 on a scale of 5. It may have scored higher without the Apple Pucker and the soda in there.
But there’s always one or two ingredients that just have to be a royal pain in the ass.
And in this case, they kind of ruined the Pain in the Ass.
Cheers !!

Dirty Christmas Tree
1/2 oz. Midori melon liqueur
1/2 oz. Malibu coconut rum
1/2 oz. Dole pineapple juice
1/2 oz. Mr and Mrs T Sweet and Sour Mix
1 drop grenadine syrup
Shake all of the ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker except the grenadine. Strain into a shot glass. Then add just a drop or two of the cherry grenadine to the bottom and serve ! It should be green on top and red on the bottom if prepared correctly.
Here’s a shot that was suggested to us at the launch party last week for Harlem liqueur. A guy named Rick shared it with us when he learned where we worked. Apparently he tends bar at a nearby pub close to where the party took place. I asked him the name a couple of times so I could give him full credit, but don’t believe I ever got it out of him. Maybe he feared that if ShareMyShot didn’t like his holiday shooter, he didn’t want to be held responsible or have the name of his bar get credit for it.
The Dirty Christmas Tree sounded intriguing enough. Since I started at ShareMyShot.com a few months ago, my appreciation for melon liqueur has gone up considerably. I never really messed around with it too much thinking it was sour or bitter like something in the Pucker family. But I’ve since learned that is not the case. It’s much smoother and fruitier and blends really well with a good dance partner.
Malibu rum and pineapple juice usually make a good showing too. So we were pretty confident this shot wouldn’t taste terrible.
We did want to get the aesthetic aspect of the shot correct as Rick stressed that it was a big part of what makes the shot Christmas-y and festive. We asked him that if the grenadine is added last—-after the shot is poured into the glass from the cocktail mixer—–does it sink to the bottom where it is supposed to belong ? He said “YES” ; that is how you should do it. He added that if you put the grenadine in first at the bottom of the shot glass, and then pour the shot in on top of it, it will be washed into the shot and lose its bottom-feeder appearance. So add the dash of grenadine in last and let it sink in the glass via its density.
It all worked out pretty well. The melon, coconut, and pineapple flavors worked wonderfully together. It tasted more like a Caribbean shot or a tropical fruit shot more than a Christmas type of shot. But that was fine with our taste team. We came pretty close on getting the visual appeal we were after although the grenadine didn’t drop as perfectly as we hoped. It spread out a bit as it permeated the shot and didn’t sit quite as cleanly as Rick suggested it might.
Then again, he’s a bartender and should be able to pour a prettier shot than us.
I’m just sayin’.
ShareMyShot.com gives the Dirty Christmas Tree a 4 on a scale of 5. It almost garnered our top rating. But we felt it doesn’t pack the punch required to match it’s superior taste. From a flavor standpoint, it scored a 5. From a potency standpoint, it scored a 3. So that is how we determined it to register a 4 out 5.
Now if Rick the Bartender had only told us the name of the bar he worked at, we could give them a “shout out” on sharing a great shooter.
Rick, if you’re out there………email us and we’ll give you your proper kudos. ‘Til then………
Cheers !!

Butternut Rum Lifesaver
3/4 oz. Bailey’s Irish cream
3/4 oz. DeKuyper Butterscotch liqueur
3/4 oz. Malibu coconut rum
3/4 oz. pineapple juice
Mix ingredients into a cocktail shaker/strainer with ice. Shake moderately. Strain into shot glass. Enjoy.
As long as we’ve been putting up some recipes lately that taste like a favorite food, we thought we’d give this candied treat a try.
The recipe has a few similar ingredients to some other recent posts: {See: Cancun Current in which Malibu coconut rum and pineapple juice are common elements} AND {See: Classic Oatmeal Cookie in which Bailey’s Irish Cream and butterscotch liqueur are the like components}.
ShareMyShot thought it would be interesting to sample another shot with these four ingredients mixed slightly different. Previously, one resulting shooter was an enjoyable tropical fruit blend. And the other was a common, popular semblance of a true oatmeal cookie. We wanted to see if a slight deviation from those two shots could result in a close match to the butternut rum flavored Lifesaver.
Call it a little science experiment if you want. The staff at ShareMyShot.com calls it enjoyable field research.
And after considerable study with some of the variables, these were our results:
We could only give this shot a 3 on a scale of 5. We know from other recipes that these ingredients can result in a tasty shooter. And this shot did not taste terrible or anything. But we weren’t so sure how close it tasted to a butternut rum Lifesaver. We even went out and bought a few rolls of Livesavers so we weren’t basing our opinion on childhood memories (as in when most of our staff last had a butternut rum Lifesaver).
Five people who sampled the shot agreed that it wasn’t the closest resemblance they’ve come across. Not like the shots that taste like apple pie or maple syrup, etc. The Malibu coconut rum is pretty evident. If it is only supposed to comprise the “rum” element, it is a little too dominant in the overall taste. The butterscotch liqueur would seem to be the flavor needed at the forefront to hit the goal of “butter rum Lifesaver“, but it is not as apparent or obvious as one might expect.
Like we said, it isn’t a bad shot. The pineapple juice is almost completely muted. We tried a few slight variations in our own effort to perfect the flavor. We used different types of butterscotch libations…..Hiram Walker Butterscotch schnapps, the DeKuyper Buttershots……and we also tried serving it unchilled as no one really remembered eating cold Lifesavers regularly. Maybe if they were in your pocket on a winter day……..otherwise, most of us remembered eating the butterscotch rum Lifesavers at room temp.
The results stayed the same. It’s a nice attempt at capturing a memorable childhood treat. But it falls just a little short of hitting the mark.
Cheers !!!

Cancun Current
1 oz. Bacardi 151 rum
1 oz. Malibu coconut rum
1/2 oz. pineapple juice
1 splash Chambord raspberry liqueur
Pour the Bacardi 151, the Mailbu rum, and the pineapple juice into a mixer full of ice. Shake and strain into a rocks glass. Tilt the rocks glass and pour the Chambord into the glass on an angle. The Chambord will sink to the bottom giving you a golden top layer and a purple bottom layer. Serve and enjoy.
This shot is not quite a dessert shot in the vein of our last few recipes. It is a double-barreled rum shot with a complement of fruit flavors and a tropical theme. A terrific shot for a day at the beach, lounging on your deck, or on a raft in the pool. It’s good for backyard BBQs and summer nights. And if you find yourself on a Caribbean cruise or hanging out in Antigua or St. Thomas, definitely order up a round of these tropical treats.
Much like the recent recipe post we did for the Drunken Bunny, the color of this shot is part of the aesthetic appeal. So once again, we encourage you to stick with the recipe as it is. Don’t deviate on the rum components. The Bacardi 151 adds the kick. The Malibu coconut rum is an important element of the tropical fruit sensation. There are other labels of coconut rum, but Malibu is one of the industry leaders and more than likely, it is what the bartender has at his disposal.
And by no means should you use anything other than Chambord raspberry liqueur for this shooter. ShareMyShot has extolled the virtues of this fine French liqueur already. And to capture the intended color and taste properly, you or your bartender should stick with Chambord. If mixed/prepared correctly, the golden top layer and the purplish-maroon bottom layer combine to make for an enticing treat.
This shooter does taste like a nice, cool Caribbean tropical drink. I was on a cruise to the islands this year and almost drowned in Mai Tais, Bahama Mamas, Pina Coladas, and who knows what the name the rest of them were…And this shot fits right in with those refreshments. You can taste all of the elements: the pineapple, the coconut, and the raspberry—some more pronounced than the others. If this were a thicker density, it would taste like a fruit smoothie.
But it goes down very smooth and really gives you a brief shot of (phantom) adrenaline. It doesn’t bog you down or make you lethargic. It’s one of those shots that everyone in the group enjoys with a big toast and afterwards there are comments about how good it was. And “let’s do another one of those”.
ShareMyShot gives this Cancun combination a 4 on a scale of 5. It took me back to that sweet vacation I took earlier this summer and the fruit flavors of the shot are a wonderful blend on a sunny day. If you can’t make it to Cancun because of the economy and a shortage of dough, do the next best thing…..mix up a big batch of Cancun Currents.
Cheers !!!

Fruit of the Loom
1/4 oz. Bols Creme de Banana Liqueur
1/4 oz. Midori melon liqueur
1/4 oz. Hiram Walker cherry brandy
1/4 oz. Malibu coconut rum
Pour ingredients over ice cubes in shaker glass. Shake well, and strain into shot glass.
I have to admit, after my recent scare with the shot mysteriously called Bart Simpson, I was a little leery of a shot named Fruit of the Loom. What was this one going to taste like? The skid marks on a ratty pair of some kid’s underwear? Worse?
Thankfully, it was far from that. I think the namesake just comes from the variety of fruit flavored liqueurs in the recipe; many of which can be found on a Fruit of the Loom commercial or clothing tag. And unlike the peach schnapps in the Bart Simpson shot, at least these flavors are sweeter and play together more peacefully. The shot was actually quite good. I liked the fact it is served chilled.
I think you can really play around with this one too. There are a number of banana liqueurs on the market besides the Bols Creme de Banana listed in the recipe. Our old friends Hiram Walker and DeKuyper also market banana liqueurs. And if you really want to splurge, you can go with Marie Brizard Creme de Banana Liqueur which retails for around $20-21. Why so much? Because it’s French—-why did you think? {But like the (French) Chambord raspberry liqueur featured recently, it is worth a few extra dollars if you can swing it}.
In the same token, you don’t have to necessarily go with Midori Melon Liqueur either. Bols and DeKuyper also have a melon liqueur selection as you might suspect. Midori is simply the leader when it comes to melon liqueurs and we would stick with it ourselves. DeKuyper definitley comes up a little short here when compared to the Midori label.
The shot tastes like a tropical drink. It’s the kind of shot where someone usually says, “I could drink a whole glass full of this like a regular cocktail.”
And they probably could. None of the ingredients are real ass-kickers like whiskey, tequila, or vodka. The different fruit flavors blend together to form a pleasant single taste….yet you can still distinguish most of them singularly. If you didn’t know what was in the shot and were asked to identify it using your palate, I think the coconut flavor would be the easiest. And then the banana, especially if you use Marie Brizard Creme de Banana. The cherry brandy is probably the toughest to identify.
Regardless, it is a fruit basket of flavor and ShareMyShot gives it a 4 on a scale of 5. The only thing keeping it from a perfect score is the fact that it could almost be a full-glass cocktail drink. It doesn’t have a ton of firepower. Very female friendly. This is a great shot for a summer BBQ at night time as everyone is relaxing with a steak in their belly. But those same traits keep it from being a perfect 5. Too tame.
But way better than tasting like a soiled pair of skivvies.
Cheers !!

Dr. Malibu
As this shot is a 50/50 mix, simply double or triple the ingredients for multiple servings.
½ oz of Dr. Pepper soda (soft drink)
½ oz. of Malibu coconut flavored rum
Pour the Malibu coconut-flavored rum first and then top with Dr. Pepper into a tall shot glass, and serve it. There’s no need to mix it in a cocktail shaker. This is an end-of-the-evening shot. Nothing fancy here as you can see.
But it tastes pretty damn good. For a seemingly weird concoction like Dr Pepper and Malibu Rum, the DP combines well to keep it from tasting like a pure shot of coconut juice from Gilligan’s Island.
You’d probably have to ask for this shot special at a bar. Not too many bars have an ample supply of cold Dr. Pepper at the ready. If they do, they just might make it for you. Just don’t let them charge you $7.50 or more for it.
Otherwise it is more of a household shot. And something the boys might appreciate a bit more than the ladies as the night wears on. Don’t try and impress anyone with this shot. Just appreciate it for what it is….something to use up that damn Dr. Pepper !!
We here at ShareMyShot.com give the Dr. Malibu a 3 on a scale of 5. Not bad. Not something to offer the pretty lady at the end of the bar, either.
Oh, and the good Dr Mc Gillicuddy Peppermint Schnapps can be found at any reputable neighborhood liquor store.
I used to hear this question every couple of Sundays when I was a season-ticket holder for the Chicago Bears. A group of people that I tailgated with every game used to do a shot of Dr. Mc Gillicuddy’s Peppermint Schnapps before we all split up and entered historic Soldier Field. A couple of the tailgaters would march out of the blue-and-orange mobile home with trays of shots over their heads like waiters at a fine restaurant. And the biggest guy amongst our group would yell, “Is there a doctor in the house??? ”
Today’s shot is not Dr Mc Gillicuddy. However, it is a pretty easy shot. It’s a shot for when you are down to the last of your supplies and want a nice belt to finish off the evening. Not just your everyday shot of whiskey or bourbon. This is something to wrap the night up with a toast and drain the last of the cooler / party supplies at the same time.
Cheers!
