Co-authored by wikiHow Staff

Last Updated: December 4, 2022 Tested

The liquid cocaine shot derives its name from its so-called "addictive" taste sensation, which might encourage drinkers to hanker for more. It has many variations, as there is some disagreement as to the precise formulation of this drink—some prefer it fruity, some simply hardcore alcohol flavor, and still others like it spicy or minty. Whichever way you enjoy the liquid cocaine shot, there is a recipe here for you.

Mixing a Fruity Liquid Cocaine Shot

1
Gather ingredients. For this recipe you will need a variety of liqueurs: orange, pineapple, and amaretto almond. You also want to grab some unflavored vodka and a small amount of pineapple juice that you can splash in at the end. You need a half shot, or 3/4 of an ounce (22 ml), of each.
- The original liquid cocaine shot was also very fruity, containing these ingredients: triple sec, amaretto almond liqueur, peach liqueur, peach schnapps, pineapple juice, cranberry juice, and lemon-lime soda.^{[1]

Chill the ingredients. For a sweet yet potent treat, chill the ingredients for the fruity liquid cocaine shot in the refrigerator before mixing them in your cocktail shaker.
- Alternatively, you can place room temperature ingredients in the shaker, allowing the ice you add later to chill them.

4
Add the pineapple juice. Add the splash of pineapple juice to the liqueur and vodka mixture.
5
Add ice. Fill the cocktail shaker halfway with ice, on top of the liqueurs, vodka, and juice.
6
Put the lid on and shake. Place the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake the mixture until it is well chilled.
- Shaking the mixture in a cocktail shaker is recommended for both sufficiently mixing the ingredients and chilling them. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can mix the ingredients in a blender and pour over ice, or mix them by hand with a spoon or whisk and pour over ice.
7
Strain it. Pour the mixture through a strainer to remove the ice. It works best to strain the drink right from the cocktail mixer into your shot glasses.
- You can purchase a cocktail strainer that is specially designed, or get a cocktail shaker with a built-in strainer. In a pinch, you can just use a normal kitchen strainer, although it might get messy.
- If you chilled the mixture in the fridge without ice, skip the strainer and pour directly into the shot glasses.
8
Serve. Serve this cocktail to your guests in stylish shot glasses.

Method 2

Method 2 of 3:

Mixing a Hard Liquid Cocaine Shot

1
Bring the ingredients together. You will need several different hard liquors (not liqueurs) for this recipe: silver tequila, vodka, gin, light rum, and pure grain alcohol. You only need a half ounce, or 15 ml, of each liquor to make this recipe for two shots.
- Typically this version of the shot is not chilled. However, if you want it cold, fill the cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
- For the pure grain alcohol, a popular and easy-to-find brand is Everclear®.
- Most variations of the liquid cocaine shot include Jagermeister or a flavored schnapps, making this "hard" version unique.
- This shot is VERY potent. DO NOT drive home if you drink this shot!
2
Pour the liquors and alcohol. Pour the half ounces of silver tequila, vodka, gin, light rum, and pure grain alcohol over the ice (if desired).
3
Shake the cocktail. While these liquors are in the shaker with the optional ice, shake it vigorously for a few seconds. This will thoroughly combine the liquors before consuming.
4
Serve. Pour this drink from the cocktail shaker into two shot glasses, straining out the ice. Each person should drink the shot all at once.
- If you don't want to chill this shot, skip the cocktail shaker and pour each ½ ounce directly into the shot glass.
- You really do want to drink this shot all at once. This is a very strong shot, so taking your time makes it progressively more difficult to swallow (unless you are accustomed to drinking these types of liquor).

Mixing a Cinnamon Liquid Cocaine Shot

1
Get your ingredients. This version of the liquid cocaine shot is made from only two ingredients: cinnamon schnapps and Jagermeister, and you need one shot of each to make this liquid cocaine shot for two.
- Jaegermeister is an herbal German liqueur made of 56 different herbal sources, such as blooms, roots, fruit, and herbs. The recipe is secret.^{[3]

- A popular brand of cinnamon schnapps is Goldschläger, found in most liquor stores.
- Another common version of the liquid cocaine shot is to mix the recipe in this method with a half shot of peppermint schnapps.^{[4]

2
Mix the ingredients. Mix a half shot of Jagermeister with a half shot of cinnamon schnapps in each of two shot glasses.
3
Drink the shot immediately. Just as with the hard liquid cocaine shot, this shot is hard to take because it's so strongly flavored. Shooting it back quickly makes it easier to swallow.

These shots are very strong alcoholic beverages. Do not drink more than one shot at a time.
