FAQ
What is a Bald Eagle shot made of?
It is made of white crème de menthe and tequila reposado, layered rather than mixed in a shot glass. The mint sits on the bottom with the tequila floated on top, so the two stay visually separate until the shot is taken.
What does a Bald Eagle shot taste like?
It pairs the cool, sweet mint of the crème de menthe with the earthy, slightly oaky warmth of reposado tequila. At roughly 34% ABV it is a strong pour.
Is a Bald Eagle shot shaken or stirred?
Neither. It is built by layering the two ingredients directly in the glass, pouring the tequila slowly on top of the crème de menthe so they stay in separate bands instead of blending.
What glass is a Bald Eagle shot served in?
A standard shot glass, poured as two visible layers rather than a mixed drink.
Is a Bald Eagle shot vegan?
Yes, it is vegan, vegetarian, and lactose-free, since neither crème de menthe nor tequila reposado contains dairy or animal ingredients.
