The Mad Dog cocktail is a popular shot that stands out for its bright flavor and spectacular appearance.
Based on Irish whiskey and absinthe, the Mad Dog cocktail is an alternative recipe that differs from the classic vodka-based shot. Here’s how you can make this variation:
Ingredients:
- 20 ml Irish whiskey
- 20 ml absinthe
- 5-7 ml grenadine syrup
- 2-3 drops of hot sauce (like Tabasco).
Preparation:
- Pour Irish whiskey into a shot glass (shot) first.
- Then gently add the absinthe so that it mixes slightly with the whiskey. 3.
- Carefully pour in the grenadine syrup so that it settles to the bottom and creates a beautiful red layer.
- Add a few drops of Tabasco hot sauce on top.
The cocktail can be drunk in a volley, experiencing the mixture of bitter, sweet and spicy flavors.
Tip:
Use a bar spoon or knife blade for precise layering, as you would when making layered cocktails.
