What is an Irish breakfast shot?

An Irish breakfast shot tastes like pancakes and bacon. It has a sweet maple flavor and the smoky flavor of the bacon toes it all together.

It is a combination of Jameson or another Irish whiskey with butterscotch schnapps and you use orange juice as a chaser. Follow up your drink with the crunch of a piece of bacon.

The Irish breakfast shot is perfect if you want an alcoholic drink to get your day started. It’s also a fun addition for brunches or other relaxed get togethers.

The addition of a slice of bacon certainly does make it a unique drink. Sure to be a hit at any occasion.

You might also like the Uppercut shot or the Chuck Norris Shot.

How to make this drink:

If you don’t count having to make a slice of bacon, this one is relatively easy to mix together. It’s a fun themed drink to give a try.
