Ingredients

½ cup water
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
pinch of salt
4 ice cubes
¼ cup Peach schnapps
¼ cup light whiskey
1 tablespoon triple sec
2 tablespoons Pineapple juice
½ lime

Instructions

First you need to prepare a sweet and sour mix (also known as simple syrup) to help sweeten your water moccasin shot. Do this by heating ½ cup of water and ½ cup of sugar in a pan on medium heat.
Use a whisk to continuously mix the sugar and water together and to prevent the sugar burning at the bottom of the pan.
When the sugar has entirely dissolved into the water, remove the pan from the heat. Set aside and allow the syrup to cool.
After a couple of minutes, gently touch the top of the syrup. If it is cool to the touch you can add in the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
Finish the syrup off with a moderate pinch of salt and use your whisk to thoroughly combine all of the ingredients into the syrup.
Transfer your freshly made sweet and sour mix into a sealable bottle or jar to keep fresh.
Now you can go ahead and start making the water moccasin shot itself. Add roughly 4 ice cubes to a cocktail shaker.
Pour 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice, the peach schnapps, light whiskey, triple sec, and pineapple juice over the ice. Then measure out 2 tablespoons of your freshly made sweet and sour mix to add to the shaker as well.
Place the lid on the cocktail shaker and give the drink a good vigorous shake for 20 seconds or until the drink is entirely cold from the ice.
Ready 2 shot glasses. Open the cocktail shaker and use the strainer to evenly pour your drink into the shot glasses.
To garnish the shot, take a sharp knife and chop up the half lime into quarters. Wedge the lime onto the rim of the shot glass and serve the shot.
Enjoy this Water Moccasin Shot!
