If you’re searching for a tropical, fruity shot perfect for a beach day, the surfer on acid drink is just what you’re looking for. This shot is super easy to mix up and can be a shot or cocktail.
What is a surfer on acid shot?
A surfer on acid shot has a strong licorice flavor from the jager on the front which fades into a fruity blend of coconut and pineapple on the backend. It is a sweet and tropical flavored shot that is smooth to take.
With only three ingredients, tossing this shot together is super easy. The tropical coconut and pineapple flavors are perfect for days on the water rather it be surfing the waves, relaxing by the pool or tubing down a river.
While there are several different types of rum including dark, spiced and white, this cocktail calls for a coconut rum. The coconut really mixes well with the pineapple juice and the thick licorice flavor of the jager.
As history goes, this drink is said to have been invented by a bartender in the 1990’s.
This shot is a dark reddish color. If you like fun colored shots, you might try the Liquid cocaine shot, red headed slut shot or the purple motherfucker shot.
