History

Head Shot is a strong, spirit-driven shooter built to deliver maximum impact in minimum volume. Often featuring whiskey, tequila, or overproof rum with a small supporting mixer or liqueur, it focuses on heat, speed, and intensity rather than nuance. The name underscores its purpose: a quick, heady jolt that you feel immediately. Best reserved for late-night rounds and confident drinkers.
