Ingredients
Jagermeister: A German herbal liqueur made from a secret blend of 56 different herbs, fruits, roots, and spices, including star anise, ginger, citrus peel, and ginseng. The resulting flavor is complex and intense, with a distinct herbal bitterness that's both unique and unmistakable.
Peach schnapps: Adds a sweet and fruity flavor that's both juicy and refreshing, with notes of sweetness and tartness, making it perfect for mixing into cocktails.
Cranberry Juice: Tones down the rest of the drink and gives the red headed slut it's distinctive bright red color.
Maraschino Cherries: For garnish, optional. Plus they're tasty.
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Measure out and pour the ingredients into a shaker glass. Shake lightly to mix.
If you're not using already chilled ingredients, be sure to pour ice into the shaker to cool your shots down.
Pour into shot glasses and garnish.
I usually keep my ingredients in the fridge before making these shots. I prefer to use cold ingredients instead of using ice, as it waters down the taste of the shot.
Garnish Ideas
While the bright red shots warrant plenty of attention all on their own, here are a few ideas to garnish your shots with:
Are you ready to elevate your Red Headed Slut Shots game? Let's talk garnishes! Here are the top picks for perfect pairings that will take your drink from good to great!
Lime Wedge: This little citrus gem adds a tangy twist that cuts through the sweetness of the drink.
Cherry On Top: Nothing says "party time" like a bright red cherry perched on the rim of your shot glass. Plus, it's a sweet treat to nosh on after you've slammed back your boozy beverage.
Candied Ginger: If you're looking for a little extra heat (without going overboard), candied ginger is the way to go. It's sweet, spicy, and sure to leave a memorable impression.
Sugar Rim: Who doesn't love a sugar rush? Rim your shot glass with coarse sugar for a sweet and crunchy contrast to the bold flavors of the drink.
Bacon Bit: Yes, you read that right! Bacon bits may seem like an unexpected garnish for a fruity shot, but trust us - it works. Salty, smoky, and a little bit sinful, this garnish is not for the faint of heart. Give it a try and thank us later!
