F. Willy Shot
Shake ∙ 3 min ∙ 26.1% ABV ∙
The F. Willy Shot is a sweet-tart party shot of vodka, white rum, amaretto, triple sec, and lime cordial, shaken and served straight up in a shot glass. Sweet almond and orange hit first, the two spirits give it a warm kick underneath, and tart lime cordial snaps the finish short and clean.

Instructions for 1 serving
- Pre-chill a glass
- Shake all ingredients with ice: Vodka 15 mlWhite rum 15 mlAmaretto liqueur 15 mlTriple sec 15 mlLime cordial 10 ml
- Fine strain into the chilled glass
Tips
- Shake all five components hard with cracked ice for a full 10-12 seconds since the equal 15ml pours of vodka, rum, amaretto and triple sec need vigorous dilution to marry into one balanced shot.
- Use a Boston shaker rather than a small tin so the lime cordial and four spirits fully integrate; under-shaking leaves the amaretto tasting separate and syrupy on top.
- Fine-strain into the shot glass to catch any ice shards, since this small-format drink shows dilution and texture flaws more obviously than a full-size cocktail.
- Chill the shot glass beforehand so the fast-shaken, quickly-served mix stays cold despite its brief contact time with ice.
