Breakfast Shot Recipe

Did you know you can pair a shot with your meal? Yessiree! The Breakfast Shot will wake up your sleeping tastebuds and make the most important meal of the day fun and exciting. Making this shot is easy as 1-2-3. 

Why Is It Called A Breakfast Shot

The shot is named like that simply because it’s meant to be paired with your breakfast meal, especially if you’re fond of starchy breakfast foods like oats, cereals, wholegrain, or whole-wheat bread. It incorporates elements of a standard breakfast like orange juice, maple syrup, and bacon strips.

What Does A Breakfast Shot Taste Like?

The Breakfast Shot involves two shots, one shot glass with a mix of butterscotch schnapps, maple syrup, and Irish whiskey and the other filled with orange juice. You drink the alcohol first and then the orange juice as a quick chaser, although, in some recipe variations, the orange juice is already mixed with the rest of the ingredients. 

Then, crispy bacon strips serve as a garnish to complement the shot’s flavors. I mean, who wouldn’t love some crispy bacon strips in the morning?
