The best tequila shot recipes
Tequila shots are one of the best ways to enjoy small, potent amounts of alcohol. They are common at parties or celebrations, as their slightly bitter taste is forgotten when feeling the rapid effect of alcohol on the body.
However, there are different flavored tequila shots according to each person's preference. That is why we bring the best recipes on the web so that you can prepare them at home and make your celebrations with them happy.
Tequila shots recipes
Among the best shots of tequila flavors, are the following, of which we will explain their preparation.
Shot Flatiner
This is a shot that results from the combination of reposado tequila with Sambuca. Additionally, it mixes with the heat of the Tabasco sauce.
Its name is of Anglo-Saxon origin, as it implies that someone does not have brain or heart activity, but this does not have to scare us. In fact, its name is due to the flat line that forms with the mixture.
Ingredients:
8 drops of Tabasco sauce.
0.7 ounces of reposado tequila.
0.7 ounces of Sambuca.
Steps to follow for the elaboration:
In a chilled shot glass, pour the Sambuca.
Over the Sambuca add the tequila slowly. For this, it is better to use a cocktail spoon.
Add about 8 drops of Tabasco sauce.
Serve the drink and enjoy
Additional Recommendations:
In case you do not like the taste of Sambuca, you can substitute it for xtabentún, as it has characteristics similar to that of anise, as it is made from a flower of the same name and honey.
If you do not tolerate spicy very well, it is best to add just 3 drops of hot sauce.
If you don't have a spiral spoon to prepare the cocktail, you can still use a common spoon. However, you must be more careful.
To make use of the common spoon, while you lean on the edge of the glass, you dip the spoon in the first layer of liquor, and then slide through the tequila. This process must be careful and very slow.
Shot the vocho
It is a type of cocktail, which is made up of pineapple juice and green spices. This owes its name to the fact that it acquires the green color of the Volkswagen taxis that were formerly used in Mexico.
Its composition is tequila reposado with pineapple juice spiced with mint, coriander and jalapeño.

2 jalapeño slices (small).
1.5 ounces of tequila.
10 mint leaves.

Place half an ounce of this mixture in a glass.
In another glass, pour the tequila.
Take a sip of the tequila first and another of the blended mixture to accompany it.
Additional Recommendations:
If you don't like the taste of coriander, you can substitute it with oregano.
If you don't want to get drunk too quickly, you can sip one and then another.
If you like, you can use natural pineapple juice, but you must strain it before serving.
Shot of tequila slammer
This is a type of drink that is known worldwide thanks to what is commonly done to make it. Tequila owes its name to the gesture of hitting the bottom of the glass against a flat surface before consuming it.
Thanks to this, an effervescence is released. The reason for this is due to its composition of tequila and 7Up.

1.5 ounces of 7Up or the soda of your choice.
1.5 ounces of tequila.

If you want the drink to be a little more powerful, you can add a part of white wine.
