They’re the imprint of generations of bartenders honing the craft of coming up with stupid names so that they can giggle at your expense when you read the crusty blackboard and say, “What goes inside of a Blow Job Shot?!? You know what, we’ll have 3, please!”.
The Blow Job Shot is perfect as an easy drink to start out the night with some friends, perfect for a girl’s night out or bachelorette parties.
Tradition demands that it has to drank without your hands in one gulp!
So tilt your head and get ready for some hands free deliciousness.
Its origins are a bit unclear.
But we know it’s a creation from the 1980s and 90s when bartenders were getting extra creative and naughty naming their concoctions.
Also known as the BJ Shot, it is a classic that has survived the passing of time for very good reasons.
What Does it Taste Like?
The Blow Job Shot is mainly sweet and creamy with coffee and bitter almond notes, thanks to the Kahlua and Amaretto liqueurs.
Since it’s not alcohol-heavy, it’s very easy to chug down a few.
These shots taste literally like coffee bonbons!
What Ingredients Do You Need to Make the Blow Job Shot?
Amaretto liqueur — For the base layer. Also used in another classic cocktail, the Amaretto Sour.
Kahlua Coffee liqueur — To mix with the Amaretto for the base layer.
Baileys Irish cream — As the second layer. A must to make an espresso martini.
Whipped cream — As the topping.
Some of the shot variations are made without the Amaretto liqueur.
However, we find the combination of all these ingredients to be the most delicious.
How to Make a Blow Job Shot
1 — In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the Kahlua and Amaretto.
Shake well for 30 seconds or so until chilled.
2 — Pour the mixture into the shot glass.
3 — Layer the Baileys into the glass by pouring it slowly over the back of a bar spoon.
4 — Top with whipped cream. A dollop of whipped cream does the job!
Recipe Notes and Tips
— To get the perfect layering, make sure to place the back of the spoon as close as possible to the glass. Pour each layer as slowly as possible.
— If you cannot be bothered with the layering of the shots, feel free to mix everything in the cocktail shaker.
— We’ve even seen these shots served in edible cookie glasses or ice cream cone shot glass.
