Notes
The Story Behind the Shot The Fallen Froggie Shot is a popular party drink, particularly in Australia, where it's also known as the "Squished Frog." It's a cheeky and playful twist on layered shooters, designed to be both visually striking and delicious. The name itself is a humorous nod to the final appearance of the drink, with the red grenadine sinking through the green and creamy layers to create a "squashed" effect.
Tips for a Perfect Shot
- Master the Layering: To get perfectly distinct layers, make sure your Irish cream is well-chilled. Pouring it slowly over the back of a spoon is the secret to a professional-looking shot.
- Customize the "Gore": The amount of grenadine you add will determine the "squished" effect. A few drops will give a subtle look, while more drops will create a more dramatic, creepy visual.
- Halloween Garnish: For an extra spooky touch, drop a gummy frog or a gummy worm into the shot just before serving.
- Is this a very strong shot? No, the Fallen Froggie is relatively mild. It's made with liqueurs that have a lower alcohol content, making it a great party shot that's more about flavor and fun than potency.
- What does it taste like? It's a sweet, creamy, and fruity shot. You'll taste the prominent melon and creamy Irish cream flavors, with a hint of tart sweetness from the grenadine.
