Shot Sweet

El Kool-Aid Shot es un shot de fiesta dulce con sabor a ponche de frutas que combina vodka, amaretto, sloe gin y triple sec con un toque de jugo de arándano, servido sobre hielo en un vaso old-fashioned. La combinación de cuatro licores crea un perfil sorprendentemente afrutado y dulce como un caramelo que genuinamente se parece a la bebida en polvo que le da nombre. Es una bebida de alto contenido de alcohol disfrazada por una dulzura arrolladora.

History & Origins

The Kool-Aid Shot capitalizes on the nostalgic American association with Kool-Aid, the powdered fruit-drink mix introduced in 1927, using the combination of several fruit-flavored spirits to replicate its candy sweetness. Shots and cocktails named after non-alcoholic beverages were a staple of American college-bar culture throughout the 1990s. The exact origin of this specific combination is disputed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet fruit punch — cranberry, cherry amaretto, and orange from the triple sec create a candy-like, artificial-fruit bouquet. Palate: Very sweet and intensely fruity — amaretto's marzipan, sloe gin's plum, triple sec's orange, vodka's spirit, and cranberry's tartness combine into an almost Kool-Aid-accurate sweetness. Finish: Sweet and warming, with a fading multi-fruit note.

Pro Tip

Stir rather than shake over ice to keep the sugar and flavors integrated without excessive dilution; adjust the cranberry juice to taste for more or less tartness.
