Ingredient Notes
This is a simple shot recipe that requires just four ingredients to make.
- Cherry vodka - You can use any type or band of cherry vodka that you like best to make these shots. Alternatively, you could use any other red fruit vodka you prefer such as raspberry vodka or strawberry vodka.
- Grenadine - Grenadine is a nonalcoholic bar syrup that is a deep red color and is made from pomegranates. It is a deliciously sweet and fruity addition to this recipe that balances out the overall flavor of the shot well. You can use any brand of grenadine you like best or you could even make your own homemade version!
- Hot sauce - We recommend Sriracha because it is super red, hot, and tangy with a touch of sweetness. But you can use any kind of hot sauce you prefer for this recipe
- Red Bull Energy Drink - This is the energy drink of choice for this shot. But you can substitute it with any other energy drink that you prefer or have on hand if you like.
How to make a Chuck Norris Shot
A Chuck Norris drink is a bomb-style shot. This means that it is made by taking a shot glass filled with liquors or liqueurs and dropping it into the center of a larger glass filled with a mixer, most commonly beer or energy drinks.
To drink it as a shot, quickly chug the entire glass like you would when taking a shot. Or you can slowly sip it if preferred!
- STEP ONE: Fill your highball or pint glass halfway full with Red Bull (This should be around half a standard can, or 4 oz.) Set aside.
- STEP TWO: Add the cherry vodka, grenadine, and a dash of hot sauce into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Mix for about 30 seconds.
- STEP THREE: Pour the vodka mixture into a shot glass. And when you are ready to enjoy your drink, drop the shot glass into the highball glass filled with Red Bull.
How to make a large batch
It is easy to make and serve Chuck Norris Shots when catering to a crowd. Simply multiply the amount of each ingredient (except the Red Bull) according to how many servings you require. Mix them together in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Prepare the highball glasses with Red Bull and then fill the shot glasses with the shaken vodka mixture. Drop in the shot glasses just before serving and enjoying.
Expert Tips
- If you want to add a garnish to your Chuck Norris Shot, we suggest a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- Use a jigger or a measuring spoon to measure your ingredients accurately. A precise measurement can make a big difference in the balance and flavor of your drink.
- Chill all the ingredients before making your shot. This will help to keep the drink cool and refreshing to chug.
- If you are looking for a boozier shot, you can increase the amount of vodka that you add.
