The Purple Hooter

A friend of mine recently asked me to put together a shooter bar for a party she was throwing. So I went to work compiling a list of shooters and included this tasty treasure:

The Purple Hooter

2 measures vodka
1/2 measure Chambord or other black raspberry liqueur
1/2 measure lime juice

Place all ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker;
Shake well until frost forms;
Strain into shot glass.

There are several variations out there under this name but this is by far my favourite. Some ingredient lists call for 7-Up to replace the lime juice but I personally prefer the flavour and colour of the above mix. The taste can be neatly summed up as a 'sour black raspberry'.

The above recipe was used for a three ounce shooter and as you can see by the picture, it neatly fills a tall shooter glass, but some may find it a little much. In that case,  cutting the measures in half to 1 ounce vodka, 1/4 ounce Chambord, and 1/4 ounce lime juice leaves you with a neat and tidy little 1 1/2 ounce beauty, which hosts and hostesses may find a more appealing quantity to serve their guests.

More shooter recipes to come!

Until next time,

Drink with Care, Friends.
