Sweet Strong

Bubble Gum is a sweet, fruity shot that combines vodka, banana liqueur, orange juice, and peach schnapps in equal parts, creating a candy-like flavor that resembles bubble gum. At 15.6% ABV, it is a medium-strength shooter with an accessible, intensely sweet profile dominated by the banana liqueur and peach schnapps. The orange juice adds a natural citrus brightness that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying.

History & Origins

Bubble Gum is a modern bar shot with disputed origins, consistent with the late 20th-century trend for sweet, fruit-liqueur-based shooters designed to appeal to a younger drinking audience. The name references the candy-sweet flavor profile that results from the combination of banana, peach, and citrus — a profile deliberately designed to evoke childhood candy nostalgia. No single credited inventor exists for this recipe.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Intense artificial-fruit sweetness — banana, peach, and orange — reminiscent of fruit candy or bubble gum. Palate: Extremely sweet and fruity; the banana liqueur and peach schnapps dominate with sweet, ripe fruit flavors, while orange juice provides a fresh citrus note and vodka delivers clean alcoholic warmth. Finish: Short and sweet, with lingering banana and peach.

Pro Tip

Chill all ingredients thoroughly before combining, as this intensely sweet shot is most palatable when served very cold.
