🥃 What is a Cement Mixer Shot?

The cement mixer shot is a unique and curiously popular drink that consists of a shot of Irish cream which is held in your mouth, followed by a shot of lime juice that is swished around with the Irish cream. Unfortunately, for drinkers of the shot, as the two liquids mix together in your mouth the acidity of the lemon juice curdles the Irish cream which results in a very unpleasant texture sensation similar to unset concrete.

The fact is that the smooth, sweet creaminess of Bailey’s combined with the tangy citrus flavor of lime juice does not taste bad in and of itself. The issue in this drink comes when they’re mixed and the cream curdles giving it a texture similar to cottage cheese.

The longer that these two sit mixed together the thicker and thicker they concoction will get. Additionally, the more lime juice you add the quicker it will thicken and the more it will thicken.

A less pranky shot that is one shot followed by another is this pickleback shot.

So, you might be wondering why you would want to Make this classic party shot. Well, here are a few reasons you might consider trying it:

• The taste isn’t that bad. As long as you down the drink fast enough and don’t let it get too thick or curdled, the taste of the shot actually isn’t too bad.
• Prank your friends. Who doesn’t like an innocent party prank? This is a fun drink to try out on some friends who you know won’t mind.
• Everyone should try it once. This is a classic, and for some reason, very popular shot. It is like a rite of passage to novice drinkers and everyone should try it at least once. I mean, why not?

⭐ When to Make This Drink

This shot is a unique and memorable one. It’s best suited for times where a casual and playful experience is expected. You might try it out at a few instances like:

• Halloween parties
• April fool’s Day
• Bachelor or bachelorette parties
• College parties

📖 Variations

There’s not too much to change up in this shot because you need the same ingredients so that they will have the curdling reaction. However, if you’re looking for a couple of ways to mix it up, check these out:

• Put them in the same shot glass. Instead of taking the shot of Bailey’s holding it in your mouth and then adding a lime juice and swishing it around, you can simply mix them together in the same shot glass.
• Dial up or down the lime juice. The amount of lime juice that you add will affect how quickly and how thick the mixture gets. Use a little more to emphasize the thickness or a little less to dial it back.
• Use lemon juice. Lemon juice can also be used to curdle Irish cream if you would like to substitute that for the lime juice.

🥄 Equipment

• Shot glasses
• jigger

📋 Ingredients

• 1 oz Irish Cream
• 1 oz Lime Juice

👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

Step one

Go ahead and gather everything together which will be two shot glasses, jigger, lime juice and Irish cream.

Step two

Pour 1 oz of Irish cream into the jigger. Then, pour that into one shot glass.

Step three

Pour 1 oz of lime juice into the jigger. Then, pour that into the other shot glass.

Step four

If you will be combining them in your mouth, first take the shot glass of Irish cream. Then, without swallowing the Irish cream, take the shot of lime juice into your mouth and swish them together.
