Water Moccasin Shot

The Water Moccasin Shot is a sweet and smooth whiskey-based shot. It’s made with whiskey, peach schnapps, sweet and sour mix and triple sec. Named after a poisonous snake, this drink proves that some shot and cocktail recipes just want an edgy name, even if there is nothing remotely edgy about them.

Ingredients in a Water Moccasin Shot

• Whiskey – Choose any whiskey you have on hand, such as Jack Daniels or Crown Royal.
• Peach Schnapps – The peach flavored liqueur sweetens and smooths out this recipe.
• Sweet and Sour Mix – Try our homemade sour mix recipe.
• Triple Sec – Or any orange liqueur you have on hand.

Tools Needed

For this recipe, you’ll only need a basic cocktail shaker (you can also use a mason jar or any water bottle that seals for this purpose) and a shot glass.

Instructions

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour in whiskey, peach schnapps, sour mix and triple sec.

Shake for 10-15 seconds or until well chilled.

Strain and pour into a shot glass. Garnish with a small wedge or slice of lime.

Tips for Making

• Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey seems to be a popular choice for this recipe. I used Jack Daniels. A Jameson Whiskey variation would be delicious to try as well.
• Variations to Try – Add a half ounce of pineapple juice for a fruity variation, add lemon-lime soda to the top for a fizzy variation or try this recipe with a different flavored schnapps for a flavored variation.
• Add a sugared rim or a frosted glass (freeze your shot glass for 1 hour before using) for a fancy elevated variation.
