The Apocalypse Now is not at all a shot for the faint of heart or people with sensitive taste buds. The mixture of Irish cream and tequila is definitely not a normal combination, and when you add dry vermouth to that it gets really interesting. If you are looking for a quick, potent novelty shot, this would be one to try. You can also make a drinking game out of this if you're watching the movie by the same name: something like a round of shots at every mention of the infamous Colonel Kurtz. You could get really drunk off that game, so brush up on your hangover cures and don't drive.
Ingredients:
- 1/3 oz dry vermouth
- 1/3 oz Irish cream liqueur
- 1/3 oz tequila
Preparation:
- Pour the dry vermouth and tequila into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake well.
- Strain into a shot glass.
