Notes
- The Garnish is Everything: Don't skip the bacon! The salty, savory crunch is the final piece of the puzzle that brings the whole experience to life. It’s what truly sells the "breakfast" illusion.
- Serve It Cold: Make sure your orange juice is well-chilled, as the coldness helps smooth out the flavors and makes the chaser more refreshing.
- The "Other" Pancake Shot: For an interesting twist, there's another version of the Pancake Shot made with hazelnut liqueur and a sugar-coated lemon wedge. But for the full breakfast experience, our three-part recipe is the undisputed champion.
- Is this the same as an Irish Breakfast Shot? Yes! The Pancake Shot is also commonly known as the Irish Breakfast Shot because of its use of Irish whiskey and the breakfast-themed chasers.
- Can I premix the shots? For the best and most authentic experience, it is recommended to keep the whiskey and butterscotch schnapps separate from the orange juice. This way, you get the distinct flavor stages that make the shot so unique.
- How strong is this shot? This shot contains two ounces of liquor, so it is quite potent. It is meant to be a celebratory treat, so be sure to drink responsibly!
