FAQ
What is a Golden Shot?
A layered shot of honey herbal liqueur such as Drambuie, Irish cream liqueur and blended Scotch whisky, 15 ml each, poured so each layer stays distinct. It is about 32.5% ABV and roughly 131 calories, and suitable for a vegetarian diet.
How do you make a Golden Shot?
Chill a shot glass and refrigerate all three ingredients first. Then carefully layer the honey herbal liqueur on the bottom, the Irish cream liqueur next, and the blended Scotch whisky on top, pouring slowly so each layer stays separate rather than mixing.
