The Different Types of Shots

• Straight shots: These shots are made with a single spirit, such as vodka, tequila, or whiskey. They are typically served chilled and taken in one gulp.
• Mixed shots: These shots are made with a combination of two or more spirits, mixers, and/or juices. They are typically served chilled and taken in one gulp.

Some of the most popular types of shots include:

• Vodka shots: These shots are made with vodka and are typically served chilled and taken in one gulp.
• Tequila shots: These shots are made with tequila and are typically served chilled and taken in one gulp. They are often accompanied by a lime wedge and a sprinkle of salt.
• Whiskey shots: These shots are made with whiskey and are typically served chilled and taken in one gulp. They are often enjoyed with a splash of water or ice.
• B-52 shots: These shots are made with three layers of liqueurs: Kahlúa, Baileys Irish Cream, and Grand Marnier. They are typically served chilled and taken in one gulp.
