Canadian Whiskey
The backbone of the Red Snapper shot, Canadian whiskey provides a smooth and distinct flavor profile. While Canadian whiskey is commonly used, you can experiment with other whiskey varieties to give your shot a unique twist. For instance, we substituted Canadian whiskey with Johnnie Walker’s Red Label, which added a subtle smokiness to the drink.
Amaretto
Adding a touch of sweetness and complexity, amaretto enhances the overall flavor profile of the Red Snapper shot. This almond-flavored liqueur complements the whiskey perfectly, creating a balanced and harmonious marriage of flavors.

The unsweetened cranberry juice serves as the base for this shot, providing a tart and refreshing element. Its vibrant red color not only adds visual appeal but also contributes to the shot’s memorable name.
