What are Bomb Shot Cocktails?

Bomb shots are also sometimes called drop shots. They basically consist of a shot glass filled with a liquor (or sometimes liqueur) that is then dropped into a highball or Collins glass that is filled halfway with beer or energy drink. If it is dropped into a pint glass, then it is called a Depth Charge instead.

Occasionally the shot glass or the Collins glass will have more than one ingredient added into it. But the shot glass is almost always just liquor and/or liqueur. While the Collins glass is almost always a beer, energy drink, soda or juice (known as a mixer).

Once you have dropped the shot glass in, you chug the entire drink all together as fast as you can. These make great additions to parties if you are looking for an action packed shot.
