Fruity Shot Citrus

O Lemon Shot é um shot novelty multi-destilado que combina Galliano, Absolut Citron e rum de 151 proof com uma fatia de limão e açúcar em uma apresentação teatral que inclui uma breve ignição do rum. A combinação de Galliano baunilha-herbal e vodca cítrica cria uma base complexa, enquanto o rum de alta graduação fornece o elemento inflamável. É um ritual de bar tão enérgico quanto o próprio coquetel.

History & Origins

Flaming shots became a popular bartending spectacle in American bars from the 1980s onward, combining theatrical fire with strong alcoholic content for maximum impact. The Lemon Shot's combination of Galliano — the Italian herbal liqueur famous from the Harvey Wallbanger — with citrus vodka and 151-proof rum reflects the eclectic spirit-mixing of that era. The exact origin is disputed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Herbal vanilla from the Galliano, bright citrus from the Absolut Citron, and a raw 151-proof rum heat, with lemon juice freshness. Palate: Sweet and citrus-forward — vanilla-herbal Galliano and lemon vodka combine into a candied citrus profile, with the rum's intensity only revealed on swallowing. Finish: Hot and sweet, with a lingering citrus-herbal warmth.

Pro Tip

Perform the brief flame only for spectacle — extinguish immediately before drinking to avoid serious burns; have a chaser ready given the high overproof content.
