Shot of the Week: Kamikaze

Ok, I know this is one of those shots everyone has in the deep of a Saturday night.  Though it’s named because drinking a Kamikaze can be suicide, this is a fun shot — and now I can make it!  Nobody complained with I lined the bar with eight shot glasses and experimented on them.  The first one came out with way to much triple sec, so I cut down the second time.  By the third try my patrons agreed it was good.

The recipe for four shots:

3  parts vodka (any is good)

1 part triple sec

dash of Rose’s lime (or fresh if you feel up to it)

pour over ice and shake, then strain into glasses!

Bottoms up!

Shot of the Week: Alaska Pipeline

 In lieu of Sarah Palin’s performance during Thursday’s debate, I thought I would make a shot that hit close to home–and by home, I mean Alaska.

The Alaska Pipeline is:

1/2 Canadian whiskey

1/2 Amaretto

Poured into a mixer with ice, shaken and strained into the shot glass(es).

Most of the people thought it was a little sweet, but I was serving them to a gaggle of Sunday afternoon bar flies.  It’s a good girly drink with a mild bite.

For something a little more manly, try portioning it 1/3 Amaretto to 2/3 whiskey.

Enjoy!
