What is the shot?

Before we begin to share you with shot recipes, let us quickly learn about shots and their composition! It is really as simple as booze in a mini glass! But then why call it a shot at all? So why are we specifically calling these mini booze shots? Let's find out.

If you are drinking one ounce of straight spirit like vodka, tequila, or something similar, then it is likely to be called a shot! However, you must have come across the term, shooter! It refers to a small shot with something juicy mixed with it! This gives the shot a distinct flavor and makes them look extremely colorful. Hence a shot is something that is consumed with a large drink on the side while a shooter is good enough on its own. The shot culture came into being during the 50s and the 60s, a strategy used by bartenders to increase sales. And guess what, the strategy indeed turned out to be quite successful too.

What is the origin and history of shots?

Now we have to take a time machine and head back a little in the past! The history of any cuisine, drink, or food is always as tempting as the recipe itself! So hold onto your excitement as we unravel the past for you. It is believed that in saloons when a customer would be short of cash, a bullet would be traded for a shot of alcohol by the locals. But this is not the only place where the word shot originated from!

There are several notions and theories which are cited when it comes to the origination of the term. This is to be noted that its first recorded use as a ‘measure of liquor’ was in the autobiography of Rev. Oliver Heywood. Few believe that the origins of the word ‘shot’ are that they were named after Friedrich Otto Schott, a glassmaker who made shot glasses in America.

Over the years, it gained much popularity, and shots came to be served in every bar! This was regarded as a cheap and quick way of drinking and spread across the globe as well.

What do you mean by the shot-taking tradition across the world

Shots are something that has become a part of social drinking over the years. They are taken along with the main drink and no matter what festival or event you have, it isn't inappropriate to introduce shots on the cocktail counter as well. After all, these are quick to establish the aura of relaxation and fun in the air.

The size and type of shots however vary from place to place and depending on different geographic locations. If you are in the mood for something nice and boozy during Thanksgiving then we have these lovely recipes for you!
