A shooter, or shot, is a small serving of spirits or a mixed drink (usually about one US fluid ounce or 30 millilitres), typically consumed quickly, often in a single gulp. It is common to serve a shooter as a side to a larger drink.[1]
Shooters can be shaken, stirred, blended, layered, or simply poured. Shot glasses or sherry glasses are the usual drinkware in which shooters are served. They are most commonly served at bars, and some bartenders have their own signature shooter.
The ingredients of shooters vary from bartender to bartender and from region to region. Two shooters can have the same name but different ingredients, resulting in two very different tastes.

List of drink shots
Shooters with beer
- Mixed shooters
- Boilermaker or Depth Charge: a beer mix
- Snakebite: variations and alternate names: Snakebite and black, Diesel, Snakey B, Purple nasty, Purple, Black, Deadly snakebite, Hard snakebite, and Super snakebite.
- U-Boot: a beer mix
- Irish car bomb: a mix of Irish whisky and Irish cream or other ingredients in a pint-glass of Irish stout.
Shooters with non-alcoholic bases
- Mixed shooters
- Jägerbomb, or Bulldozer, or Blaster: a shot glass with Jägermeister dropped into a glass of half a can of Red Bull. In German speaking countries this drink is called Fliegender Hirsch (Flying Deer). It can also be made by filling a shot glass with half Jägermeister and half Red Bull or by placing a shot glass full of Jägermeister at the bottom of a glass and filling with Red Bull.
- Geritol: a shot glass with Grand Marnier dropped into a glass of half a can of Red Bull. It can also be made by filling a shot glass with half Grand Marnier and half Red Bull or by placing a shot glass full of Grand Marnier at the bottom of a glass and filling with Red Bull.
Shooters with Irish cream
- Layered shooters
- B-52 (and related B-50 series cocktails).
- Baby Guinness: Two thirds to three quarters of a shot glass filled with coffee liqueur. Irish Cream poured gently, over the back of a spoon, onto the top of the liqueur. The finished result should give the impression, if done correctly, of a tiny pint of Stout.
- Cocksucking Cowboy (also called the Brokeback Shooter): two parts cold butterscotch schnapps with one part of Irish Cream, making it 32% ABV. The Irish Cream is poured off the back of a bar spoon so it "floats" on top of the schnapps in a shot glass.
- Irish Flag: Crème de menthe (green), Irish cream and Grand Marnier in a shot glass. The end result is a very small Irish flag.
Shooters with rum
