Cluster Fuck

Cluster Fuck

 
1/2 oz.             Jack Daniels Tennessee whiskey
1/2 oz.             Wild Turkey Kentucky bourbon whiskey
1/2 oz.             1800 Tequila
1/2 oz.             Bacardi light rum
1/2 oz.             Skyy vodka
1/2 oz.             DeKuyper butterscotch schnapps
1 oz.                99  Apples schnapps 

Pour the Tennessee whiskey, the Kentucky bourbon, the tequila, the rum, and the vodka into a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Shake well, and strain into a double shot glass. Add the butterscotch and the apple schnapps in at the end. Serve. Enjoy !

Perhaps another name for today’s recipe could have been The Kitchen Sink. Because obviously, this shooter has everything in it but the damn kitchen sink. But instead, this seven ingredient poison party is known as Cluster Fuck.

Now I’ve been familair with this term for some time….often I hear people throw a ” Mongolian ” at the front of it. For instance, when you are talking to a friend at the bar and you ask, ” Say, how did that huge project turn out at work ? ”

And their reply is, ” Oh Christ !! It was a Mongolian Cluster Fuck ! ”

Or sometimes some of the guys I watch football with on Sunday may throw this term out. Such as after the Chicago Bears fail to score a touchdown after having a first down on the one yard line. Inevitably, someone says, ” Well that was the usual cluster fuck by the Bears ! ”

But today, we hope that the Cluster Fuck is more of a friendly beast. It seems friendly enough—-what with the wide array of ingredients including a couple of tasty contributors like Jack Daniels and 1800 Tequila. Then there seems to be a couple of tamer schnapps thrown in on top to temper the potency of the prior ingredients. And thankfully for once, neither of them are peach schnapps !

So we have an eclectic collection of powerful libations finished off with a butterscotch / apple topping to it. I’m game !

The shot was interesting to say the least. And perhaps the funny thing is that the panel was almost duped into trying four rounds of this powerful punch in an effort to identify which tastes stood out and which ones were muted. And after four rounds of a double shot glass of Cluster Fucks, well……..you really do start to feel it.

Some really felt that you could taste the schnapps more than anything else with that element laying on top of the whole shot. And of the schnapps, the apple seemed to be most prominent. Perhaps it should be that way as there was twice as much apple schnapps versus any other ingredient. And it was on the top. Others on the panel felt that the whiskeys were at the forefront more than the other libations. The vodka and the rum seemed to be the most muted of the ingredients. And one panel member strongly felt that the tequila was the most recognizable. So there was a variety of opinions on what flavor was the most potent. And all agreed that the shot was mighty strong.

What prevented the shot from earning a really high mark on our scale was the overall taste. It wasn’t bad as some of the shots with so many components can be. But it wasn’t a lip smacking blend the way some fruity liqueurs work well together to make more of a tropical shot. Or how fruit juices like orange juice or cranberry juice can work well with vodka or rum. This shot struggled to define a true taste identity.

The Cluster Fuck was indeed a true cluster fuck.

And as a result, ShareMyShot gave it a 3 on our a scale of 5.

Cheers !!

Butt Pirate

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Butt Pirate

1  1/2 oz.          Captain Morgan spiced rum
1  1/2 oz.          DeKuyper Buttershots liqueur 

Shake both ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a shot glass. Enjoy !

One of the funnier (so he believes) guys on the taste panel brought this one in to the office citing it as his tribute to the Olympics. He said he was watching the men’s figure skating competition and it made him remember this shot recipe. Much like Jay Leno, he was his own best audience as he really cracked himself up with that joke. But he soon stopped laughing when one of the women on the taste team just casually asked him what he was doing watching the men’s figure skating to begin with?

He didn’t have an answer and eventually just cried out, ” Are we going to try this damn shot or not ? ”

Touchy….touchy.

Obviously the shot has nothing to do with the Olympics or men’s figure skating or anything like that. The name is derived from the two ingredients. Captain Morgan rum is named after a famous pirate and they use the pirate theme heavily in their logo and marketing. And the butt in this Butt Pirate obviously is from the DeKuyper Buttershots component.

So once the bad jokes and the insensitive remarks were over with, the group was ready to get up close and personal with the Butt Pirate. See how this bad boy tasted on our wet, wagging tongues.

Lord, I apologize for that there one…and please be with them pygmies down in New Guinea. {Larry the Cable Guy}

Anyway, we finally got down to business and when we tasted the shooter, one of the more serious and intelligent ladies on the panel said it tasted pretty damn close to a shot we tried about three or four months ago. And it hadn’t dawned on any of us how close the recipes were until she pointed it out. Back in September 2009, we tried the shot called Maple Syrup which was comprised of Captain Morgan and butterscotch schnapps.

This shot was basically the same thing with DeKuyper Buttershots replacing regular old butterscotch schnapps. The flavor was very close to tasting like maple syrup although (as we noted in September) it is thinner than a big spoonful of actual maple syrup. It tastes pretty good if you like sweeter tasting shooters.

So not only does this dipshit on our panel:
1)   think he’s funny  (he’s not)
2)   insult the Olympics and our talented US men figure skaters     (but he also)
3)   brings in a damn recipe that we basically have tried before and already written about

Someone suggested that we kick him off of the panel for the rest of the week and replace him with office lackey Keith. Which is exactly what we did. And we told Keith to do some research and provide tomorrow’s recipe…..one that we haven’t seen before !

You’d have thought Keith just won the gold in the men’s freestyle skate. Talk about excited over a three day promotion. He stopped just short of thanking the Motion Picture Academy of America, the Dalai lama, and Emily Dickinson for chrissakes.

ShareMyShot gives the Butt Pirate a 4 on a scale of 5 —just as we did the Maple Syrup shot. It tasted very good and we gave credit for the creativity of the name. And if you drink enough of these, you just may find yourself watching the men’s figure skating competition yourself. So in the end, the Butt Pirate earned a 4 from the panel.

Cheers !!

Screwin’ around with the egg nog

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Screwin’ around with the egg nog

One of the things I and a few others at ShareMyShot.com really like about Christmas is that it’s egg nog season.

Some people don’t like it. It’s very rich and the thickness of it can be a turn-off to some. But to the people who work at a company such as ours, egg nog = opportunity. The opportunity to try a bunch of new egg nog mixes that most of us are unfamiliar with, as well as the opportunity to indulge in the more popular egg nog “bombs”.

You can keep things extremely simple by taking a double-size shot glass and filling it 3/4 with egg nog. And top it off with 1/4 of Captain Morgan rum. Maybe even drop a pinch of nutmeg on it for good measure. The famous Rum n’ Egg Nog. I’ve already had several of those this season at home. Good stuff.

And you can take a similar glass of egg nog and add a shot of peppermint, cinnamon, or butterscotch schnapps. All go pretty well with the egg nog. We’ll call these Egg Nog Bombs.

But those are the basic recipes that people have been drinking since the elusive ”nog root” was first discovered in the jungles of Peru over three centuries ago. OK….that’s total bullshit. I have no idea where egg nog originated. Nor does anyone else on the sample team. We have sent that question to Research and Development to answer. Those are the most basic of egg nog combinations, though.

So let’s sample a few other concoctions and see how they fare.

Here’s a recipe to serve several people:

Very Merry Egg Nog

This is a great “adult” version of the popular holiday beverage. It does not taste potent, but really packs a punch if you drink enough of ‘em!
 
12 oz.      Bacardi dark rum
4 oz.        Southern Comfort peach liqueur
4 oz.        creme de cacao
1 cup             berry sugar
1 quart                milk
1 quart            ice cream
12                   egg whites
12                     egg yolks
1/8 tsp               nutmeg 

Combine the ice cream, milk, sugar, egg yolks, and alcohol together in bowl and beat with electric beaters (you can also use a blender and do it in increments). Fold in the egg whites. Chill and serve with a sprinkle of nutmeg. Enjoy.

This recipe tasted wonderful. One of the women on the sample team is quite familiar with this recipe as she prepares it for her relatives every Christmas. The alcohol within is very subtle and hard to detect. The blend is very creamy and distictly different in taste (on the positive side) from the cartons you buy at Jewel or Wal-Mart. This is a fine holiday egg nog.

Here’s another recipe we researched:

Egg Nog – Country Style

1 cup           Applejack brandy
2 cups               sugar
1 pint              whole milk
1 pint            heavy cream
6                         eggs 

Mix the eggs and sugar together until they are well blended. SLOWLY add the brandy. (If added too fast, the eggs will break) Add in the whole milk. Add 1/2 of the heavy cream.

In a seperate bowl, whip the other 1/2 of the heavy cream until stiff (soft peak stage will work as well). Fold whipped cream into mixture.
Chill and enjoy!

 This too was enjoyed tremendously by everyone on the taste team. As with most foods/drink, homemade recipes just seem to taste better than the brand-name crap we all buy at the store. The difference is totally worth the effort….especially once or twice a year. The creaminess that the milk, cream, and eggs combine to create–plus the apple brandy resulted in a unique taste that I’ve never gotten out of a cardboard carton.

So give one of these recipes a try or just toss down a couple of Rum n’ Egg Nogs after you get home from work in one of those sloppy grid-lock snowstorms. Just take advantage of the one month per year where it’s OK to gorge on egg nog and other holiday treats……….

Like hot chocolate and Bailey’s. But that’s for another day.

Cheers !!

Butternut Rum Lifesaver

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

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 !!!

Classic Oatmeal Cookie

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Classic Oatmeal Cookie

1/4 oz.    Goldschlager cinnamon schnapps
1/4 oz.    DeKuyper Butterscotch liqueur
1/4 oz.    Bailey’s Irish cream
1/4 oz.    Jagermeister herbal liqueur

Shake all ingredients in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes. Strain into a shot glass, and serve.

I think I first came across an oatmeal cookie shot a good 15 years ago or longer. There were actually two places I frequented that served up a decent oatmeal cookie flavored potation. The first was at my regular watering hole; the Clipper Ship Lounge in Brookfield, Illinois. Sadly, it is no longer there. But there was a cute bartender who worked there and she introduced myself and a few buddies to the oatmeal cookie shot. It really did taste like its namesake.

However my more lasting memory was a little later that year. I had Chicago Bears season tickets at the time with a friend and they were scheduled to play our arch rival, the Green Bay Packers one Sunday in December. I woke up and there was a solid eight inches of freshly fallen snow on the ground. I called my partner and told him I would be a while digging out and getting to his house. He wasn’t happy that I wouldn’t be there for some time. He was rarely happy about anything. He claimed I should’ve gotten up earlier. So in his usual manner, he gave me a one hour ultimatum. If I wasn’t there in an hour, he was just going to head out without me. My reply was probably something like, “Whatever you need to do, dude.”

So after I finally dug my truck out and was on the road, he had already left for Soldier Field. Snow was falling heavily again and I knew that there was no way I would even make it there for kickoff. So instead, I went to a warm, cozy sports bar nearby where I knew some of my other buddies watched the games from. I spent the rest of the afternoon watching a blizzard fall on what looked like a very cold crowd at the football game. And drinking shot after shot of oatmeal cookie shooters. They were delicious and we toasted my smart-ass partner on every round.

When prepared correctly, this is one yummy shot. It’s funny how people have uncovered various liquor formulas that taste so close to a delicious food. I think the butterscotch schnapps is probably the key to this one. The schnapps combined with the Bailey’s Irish Cream make the texture slightly thicker than most shots. And served slightly chilled, it all adds to the illusion of oatmeal cookies. Very smooth.

Don’t deviate from the recipe ingredients except for perhaps the brand of butterscotch schnapps. There is some flexibility there. But the other components should adhere strictly to the recipe. This is actually a quite popular shot that we’re sure many readers have tried in the past. You may have your own little twist to preparing the shot. I know one guy who adds a little sprinkle of nutmeg on the top. Not enough to make you inhale it and sneeze into the shot glass. But I admit, it does further add to the savory illusion.

ShareMyShot.com gives this tasty pick-me-up a 5 on a scale of 5. It has always been one of my personal favorites when it comes to flavored shot creations.

And not just because of the image of my buddy sitting by himself in a blizzard at Soldier Field watching the Bears lose to the Packers. The Bears did lose that day. Which never makes me happy. But my buddy getting his come-uppance while I threw down some awesome shots in a warm bar with some laughing friends is a memory I cherish.

Cheers !!

Carmel Apple

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Carmel Apple

3/4 oz.   Apple Pucker schnapps
3/4 oz.   DeKuyper butterscotch schnapps

Mix equal parts of freezer cold schnapps. Gulp it down. Enjoy.

This shot is about as simple as it comes. A combination of a couple of popular flavors of schnapps. But we wanted to stay in-line with the recent recipes with a Halloween theme. And what is more Halloween and autumn-themed than carmel apples? Keep reading–I have a little enhancement trick with this shot that is similar to a little stunt I suggested in a previous recipe.

ShareMyShot.com has served up a few previous recipes capturing the flavor of tasty apple-oriented foods. The formula to reproduce Apple Jacks is one example. We also posted the ingredients for Granny’s Apple Pie. That’s the recipe where I suggested you chase the shot with a very small piece of graham cracker. I have a suggestion for you to enhance the experience of today’s shot recipe that is somewhat similar.

But first, make sure that you follow the instructions and serve the shot chilled. Some people keep all of their flavored schnapps and liqueurs chilled—-AfterShock, Apple Pucker, Goldschlager, RumpleMinze, Jagermeister, DeKuypers, etc. So for those people, serving this shot with chilled ingredients comes naturally. Others may leave a few particular flavors out at room temp. Because flavors like cinnamon and butterscotch are not typically chilled when we consume them in food, some bar owners leave them on the shelf. Usually, that’s fine.

However, when preparing Carmel Apple shots, we strongly encourage you to serve both ingredients chilled. I’ve never liked apple schnapps served warm. It seems so much more refreshing and tangy when served cold. Like the bite of a new, juicy golden apple. So adhere to the recipe for best results. At the very minimum, you can use chilled apple schnapps and room temp butterscotch schnapps.

And please do feel like you have the freedom to substitute your favorite brands for either component. This is a flexible recipe. You don’t have to go with Apple Pucker. If that brand is a little sour for you, go with your favorite brand of apple schnapps..

ShareMyShot gives this a 3 on a scale of 5. It is a very simple, tasty shot. It’s not the greatest brainstorm since the wheel or fire. And because the core ingredients are both a flavored schnapps, you are free to substitute brands.

Here’s my little enhancement tip: If you have any peanuts in the house—–in any form——pull them out. Whether you have a small canister of Planter’s peanuts or you have a big bag of shelled peanuts, grab five or six of them. Simply crush them once or twice (after de-shelling them for Chrissake) with a meat-seasoning mallet or the bottom of a big spoon. Don’t mulch them into gruel……just smash a few damn peanuts. Use them as a chaser after gulping this shot and your carmel apple resembles more of a taffy apple. I swear it works.

Try this shot at your Halloween party this year. Have a little, tiny bowl of crushed peanuts on your bar. And when you introduce the shot, encourage the crushed peanuts as a chaser. Just the psychological part of people’s minds will make them say, “Oh my God ! That does taste like a taffy apple ! ”

Or at the least, a Carmel Apple shot.

Cheers !!!!

The Bomb Squad

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Try One of These Bombs on For Size

We thought we’d try something a little different today. Rather than just offer you one recipe, we thought it might be rewarding to explore the world of BOMBS. Like the trend toward microbrews in the ’90s and the cigar-smoking craze that still has a lot of steam behind it, it seems like over the last few years “bombs” have become quite a shot-drinking trend. 

A friend of mine and I have a little tradition of drinking JagerBombs whenever we’re hanging out at his house playing pool or darts. He’ll start it off by the second game or so by casually asking, “So are you bombin’ or what?”

Of course I’m bombin’. So he’ll pour the first round and after that, the loser of each game has to go upstairs and prepare the next round. There’s really no shame in pouring a round of shots for you and one of your boys. It’s the insult of “serving” the other guy by way of losing and having to go upstairs. We could bring the ingredients downstairs by us, but then the punishment wouldn’t be so harsh. But we have a lot of fun and are typically a little bit lit up by the end of the night. I often sleep on his couch to practice good judgement.

The JagerBomb is perhaps the most popular of the bombs on the bar scene. It’s very simple in that you mix a few fingers of Jagermeister in a small glass (not a shot glass….more like a hi-ball glass) with a finger or so of Red Bull energy drink. At least that’s how we make them….not too scientificly accurate. We make them a little strong and ours are often a half-glass or so in volume. You guzzle them down and they don’t taste too bad. While I personally am not the hugest fan of Jagermeister, the worst part about them is buying the damn Red Bull. Because it is so expensive, my buddy and I started experimenting with other bombs.

In a previous recipe on ShareMyShot, we offered up a sweet combination called Maple Syrup. That exact same recipe (half Captain Morgan/half butterscotch schnapps) is often referred to as a Captain’s Bomb. Just depends on who you’re hanging out with. I always called it Maple Syrup because that’s pretty close to what it tastes like. It tastes like you took a little swig out of a bottle of Aunt Jemima. But for the sake of today’s discussion, that same recipe is AKA the Captain’s Bomb.

And God forbid if we forgot to mention this world-famous bomber:

Irish Car Bomb

Irish Car Bomb is one of the most popular drinks amongst cool people who like to have fun. The ingredients are simple and available in most any decent bar. Beer lovers and shot lovers alike enjoy it.  

3/4 pint Guinness stout
1/2 shot Bailey’s Irish cream
1/2 shot Jameson Irish whiskey 

Add the Bailey’s and Jameson to a shot glass, layering the Bailey’s on the bottom. Pour the Guinness into a pint glass or beer mug 3/4 of the way full and let settle. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness and chug it. If you don’t drink it fast enough it will curdle and taste increasingly worse. So just chug the damn thing!

Here’s one that should get your attention:

Mind Bomb

1 1/2 oz.   Everclear alcohol
1 1/2 oz.   Bacardi 151 rum
1 1/2 oz.   strawberry schnapps
1 tbsp.       grenadine syrup 

Pour all ingredients into a hi-ball glass half-filled with ice cubes, stir it and serve it. Be careful….don’t have too many of these at one time.

Obviously with both Everclear and Bacardi 151, this one packs a good punch. But it’s not bad for a bachelor party or a New Year’s Eve bash where anyone with brains isn’t drinking & driving anyway.

Finally, we thought we’d leave you with this little ditty:

Hector Bomb
 
1/2    bottle Corona beer
1 shot   1800 tequila 

Fill a glass with the half-bottle of Corona beer. Pour a shot of the 1800 tequila. Squeeze a lime wedge into the shot glass, and place the lime wedge into the shot. When you are ready to drink, drop the shot into the glass of Corona and chug it down.

This is an off-shoot of the Irish Car Bomb. But many of the newest “car bombs” out there are similar to the ICB as you take a shot of a harder liquor and drop it into a glass of something more palatable (or “chuggable”). For instance, with a New York City Car Bomb, you take 2 oz. of Hennessey cognac, pour it into your Heineken beer, and chug that. So many of the popular “car bombs” are a variation of the ICB.

We at ShareMyShot give a collective 5 on a scale of 5 for the “bomb” craze. Some are better than others, but they are a fun little niche in the shot drinking world to play around with.

Cheers !!

Maple Syrup

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Maple Syrup

1/2 oz Captain Morgan spiced rum (original)
1/2 oz Butterscotch Schnapps

Stir the ingredients together in a small mixing glass with chipped ice. Strain into a shot glass, and serve. {Stick to Captain Morgan, but feel free to go with your favorite brand of butterscotch schnapps}.

Just like Mrs. Butterworth used to make, right? This tastes awesome and because you you mix it with the chipped ice, it gets just the slightest chill——not cold like Jagrmeister out of the fridge. It keeps the shot from tasting like a warm, thick shot of actual syrup in a shot glass. It makes it that much more palatable and tasty. And boy, does it ever taste like maple syrup! It’s one of those mixtures someone stumbled upon that tastes like a popular treat.

It’s an easy shot to make. Women love it and ask for another. It’s a good after-dessert shot. And we here at SaveMyShot.com give this a 4 on a scale of 5. Now is that going to be a short stack or a tall one?

I have to admit it; sometimes I’m a sucker for some of the sweeter shots. Every now and then, a nice watermelon-tasting shot or something like a Baby Guinness (see previous recipe on ShareMyShot.com) goes a little better than a shot of Old Granddad. After I have some sort of dessert at a wedding or at a family party, I’m not always in the mood for a belt of whiskey or tequila. That’s where an easy little number like this comes in.

Cheers !!
