Alcoholic Shot Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass 3 ingredients

Recipe

  • 4/5 part Yukon Jack Whisky (Canadian)
  • 1/5 partWest India Sweetened Lime Juice
  • Add drops of the local Hot Sauce

Instructions

In the extreme Southwest [Tucson - 90 miles from the Mexican border] we use a number of different hot sauces [from Mexico, not Tucson, depending on the part of town the drink is served in]. Its important to use the local hot Sauce in your area, which your patrons are familiar with, so that a local 'customized' version of this popular drink can be bragged about. By not mixing the drink after the addition of the hot Sauce, the sauces peculiar/unique flavor is immediately 'recognized' by the consumers tongue, then 'satisfied' with the cool balance of the rest of the liquor. For the 'Perfectly- Sneaky Snake Bite', eliminate the ice and serve in a SMALL or MINIATURE Whiskey glass or shot glass, frosty-fresh from the freezer. You won't blend a better cool-shot in the summertime and your customers will find themselves hanging around the bar for more, long after they'd intended. The problem with this scenario? Its hard to keep that many small Whiskey glasses in the freezer for thirsty patrons. This drink is a favorite of our local and 'just-passing-through' Harley groups on I-10, or other motorcyclists, who want a 'cool-throat' or two, then move on down the road. Our locals drink it by the Beer schooner with a Mohave Rattler wrapped around their head-band... JAYsus. Of course, neither Doc Holiday, the 'Cowboys' nor the Earp brothers ventured into a Tombstone saloon for very long before cowering to the mighty 'Snake Bike.' It was popular even t hen.Pour 'Jack over nine MINIATURE ice cubes (two, regular) in a small old-fashioned glass; add Lime Juice at 6-8" height above the glass to Mix; then your local hot Sauce, also 'at height' (4-5" above the glass). The exact proportion of Yukon to Roses by volume is recommended. But, Hell, when its hot and the customers thirsty?...

About Sneaky Snake Bite

The Sneaky Snake Bite is a bold and intriguing shot that combines a sweet, sour, and spicy kick into a single, memorable sip. This drink features Yukon Jack Whisky, a Canadian liquor known for its honeyed and slightly spicy profile, as its primary ingredient. The whisky is complemented by a dash of West India Sweetened Lime Juice, which adds a tart and citrusy contrast, enhancing the overall flavor profile. To finish, a few drops of the local hot sauce introduce a fiery bite that lingers, making the Sneaky Snake Bite a shot that truly lives up to its name.

The origins of the Sneaky Snake Bite are somewhat elusive, much like the drink itself. It likely emerged from the tradition of combining whisky with citrus and spice to create bold, memorable flavors. Yukon Jack's reputation as the "Black Sheep of Canadian Liquors" fits well with the rebellious and adventurous spirit of this concoction. The drink has gained popularity in bars known for serving daring shots and is celebrated for its ability to surprise and delight the palate with its unexpected combination of flavors. Whether as a daring starter or a bold finisher, the Sneaky Snake Bite is sure to make an impression.

This shot is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Rocks or Old-Fashioned Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
