Looking for a sweet and spicy cocktail that will kick in your face? Try out the Chuck Norris Shot. This is a bomb shot that is easy to make with just a few ingredients, but a big taste.
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
