    Jump to Recipe

    What is a Chuck Norris Shot?

    A chuck norris shot is a bomb shot that has a sweet cherry flavor with a hint of red pepper spice from the hot sauce. It is made of grenadine, cherry vodka, red bull and hot sauce. The red bull adds a bit of a fizz to the overall drink. This shot is one that goes down extra smooth.

    This bomb shot, like other bomb shots such as the Irish car bomb, is made by taking a shot glass filled with a type of liquor or liqueur and dropping it into a highball or Collins glass filled with (usually) beer or an energy drink. You then quickly chug the entire glass like you would when taking a shot.

    Variations

    This shot is not a standard cocktail and therefore, there are lots of different variations floating around. Here are a few other ways to make it:

    • Use Liquid Ice instead of Red Bull
    • Use 151, Grenadine, Hot sauce and Venegance
    • Layer Sambuca, Jager, Absinthe and a few drops of hot sauce

    However you make it, it is intended to be a kick in the mouth type shot that is either spicy or goes down so smooth you don’t know what has hit you…kind of like Chuck Norris.

    If you like hot sauce in your cocktails, you may also enjoy the tequila boom boom shot.

    When To Serve it

    This is a shot that is best left for kind of raucous or informal parties and get togethers. Though, with the awesome taste, it might fit for other times also. Here are a few ideas:

    • College Parties
    • Late Night Hangouts
    • Bachelor Parties

    How to make this drink:

    This shot is pretty easy to whip up with just 4 ingredients and no fglass rimming garnishes to deal with. The longest part of making this drink might be the part where you chug it. Either way, you can toss this one together in 3 minutes or less.

    Equipment:

    • highball glass
    • jigger
    • bar spoon
    • Shot glasses

    Ingredients:

    • Hot Sauce a few dashes
    • 4 oz Red Bull (or other energy Drink)
    • 2 oz Cherry Vodka
    • 1 oz Grenadine
    all the supplies and ingredients to make a chuck norris shot on a wooden table

    Instructions:

    Step one

    Get your cherry vodka, grenadine, red bull, hot sauce, jigger, bar spoon, shot glass and highball or collins glass gathered together.

    Step two

    Start by filling your highball or Collins glass about halfway with Red bull. That should be about half a can which is around 4 oz.

    Next, use your jigger and measure out 1 oz of Grenadine. Dump the grenadine into your shot glass.
