    Instructions

    1. Fill the cocktail shaker halfway through with ice.
    1. Add the ingredients to the shaker.
    1. Shake vigorously for half a minute.
    1. Strain the mix and pour it into the shot glasses, which are preferably chilled.

    Substitutions

    • Vodka — As the main ingredient in this Purple Hooter shot recipe, you have almost complete freedom when it comes to vodka, although Ketel One is the go-to choice for most. First of all, you don’t need to go with an expensive one. Second, you should check the alcohol rate. We’d rather have our Purple Hooter shot a tad strong, not the other way around, just like our other cocktails.
    • Raspberry liquor — The Purple hooter recipe shot owes its iconic name and color to raspberry liquor, so finding an alternative would be up to you! Chambord is a common ingredient and thus can be found in most stores. If it is not your cup of tea, raspberry extract might be a better choice. Unlike Chambord, it doesn’t contain any alcohol. You can always compensate by choosing a vodka with a higher alcohol content.
    • Lime juice — It’s no surprise that the Purple Hooter shooter recipe calls for lime juice, as it perfectly balances the taste of Chambord. If you’re not that big on lime juice, you can opt for lemon juice. Orange juice will do the job as well, though the taste will differ. If you’re desperate enough (or bold), you can always use white wine vinegar instead.

    Variations

    • Not a fan of vodka? — No problem. Even though the iconic Purple Hooter Shooter recipe is famous for the combination of raspberry liqueur and vodka, the latter is not everyone’s cup of tea. You can use gin for a similar taste, as well as tequila, rum, or whiskey.

    Equipment

    • Cocktail shaker.
    • Shot glasses.
    • Jigger.

    Tips

    • Chill the glasses — Chilling the glasses ahead of time is best for the experience possible. You can just fill the glasses with ice either.
    • More ice — The amount of ice you use can make the difference between a bland cocktail and a premium Purple Hooter shot, so when it comes to ice, go with a generous approach.
    • Shake it up — You are probably thinking that shaking for fifteen seconds or so is more than enough. It's not. Shake for at least 30 seconds.
