Learn everything on which Vodka to choose

Vodka

  • Why 0.5 oz? Just enough to add a clean, crisp beginning without overpowering the other flavors.
  • Flavor: Provides a smooth base and lets the other spirits shine.
  • Without It: You'd lose the foundational spirit, resulting in a less balanced shot.
  • Alternatives: Substituting with a flavored vodka could twist the taste but might clash with the Jägermeister and bourbon.

Alex Green

Jägermeister

  • Why 0.5 oz? Equal parts to layer complexity with its herbal notes without letting it dominate.
  • Flavor: Adds a licorice-like, herbal kick which adds depth.
  • Without It: The shot would lack its distinctive earthy and spicy profile.
  • Alternatives: A different herbal liqueur like Fernet could be used for a minty twist, though the taste would shift dramatically.

Emma Rose

Bacardi 151

  • Why 0.5 oz? It's highly alcoholic; this is enough to add fire without a burn-out.
  • Flavor: A powerful punch of alcohol heat and a slight sweetness.
  • Without It: The shot would be less intense and not as potent.
  • Alternatives: Overproof rum alternatives could vary in flavor but should maintain the high-proof aspect.

Mary Mitkina

Wild Turkey Bourbon

  • Why 0.5 oz? Balances the shot with its robust flavor, without overshadowing others.
  • Flavor: Brings vanilla and oak notes that add warmth and richness.
  • Without It: You'd miss out on the smoky, smooth finish that bourbon provides.
  • Alternatives: Another bourbon or whiskey could be used, but each brand will bring its own flavor nuances.

Alex Green

Lime Wedge

  • Why: Adds a fresh, acidic touch to cut through the richness.
  • Without It: The shot may feel overly heavy and lack a refreshing element.
  • Alternatives: Lemon could be used for a slightly different citric profile, but it serves the same purpose.
