The "Nestle" shot is a vibrant and intriguing combination of flavors, featuring 3 cl of pepper-infused vodka and 3 cl of Midori Melon Liqueur. This shot offers a unique taste experience that balances the spicy, warming notes of pepper vodka with the sweet, fruity essence of Midori, which is known for its bright melon flavor and vivid green hue. The result is a visually striking and tastebud-tingling beverage that appeals to those who enjoy bold and unexpected flavor combinations.
The exact origins of the Nestle shot are somewhat obscure, as it is not one of the classic cocktails with a storied history. It likely emerged in the late 20th or early 21st century, a time when mixologists began experimenting with a wider range of flavors and ingredients to create innovative and memorable drinks. The use of pepper vodka adds a modern twist to the shot, appealing to adventurous drinkers looking for something with a bit of kick. Meanwhile, Midori Melon Liqueur, first produced in Japan in the 1970s, gained popularity for its distinctive color and flavor, becoming a staple in many contemporary cocktails and shots like the Nestle.
