If you're looking for the best Death Shot recipe, you can find it right here along with just about any other Mixed Drink Recipe from Crystal Mixer.From what's in a Death Shot to its recommended drinkware, and exactly how to mix & how to make the Death Shot drink, whether you're a bartender, mixologist, or just having DIY fun at your home, CrystalMixer has just about every drink and variation you need. This recipe version is made with these ingredients: Opal Nera® black sambuca, tequila. Some of the best shots from the classics to the newest are the Flaming Lamborghini Shot, Red, White and Blue Shot, Jello Shots, and the B-52 Shot. Also noteworthy to keep in mind, even though a drink can be made in any proportion, if your shot totals more than an ounce, people tend to have problems shooting it. So try to keep the Death Shot below 1 oz! We call this the Shooter Rule! It's one of those unwritten rules.

With all of today's fancy technology, we simplify the bartender's guide. We have all the delicious Shots & Shooters you can possibly create. If you have a list of ingredients you have available, or want your drink to include, don't forget our Drink Builder to help find matching recipes.
