Currently I am attending the Professional Bartending Institute in Pittsburgh, PA to become a professional bartender/mixologist. I finished week one of the two-week course in which we covered 2 oz. Cocktails, Sours/Margaritas, Shooters, Beer and Wine.
To kick off the weekend here are some shooters I learned how to make but have yet to try (but would like to!):
Brain
3/4 Strawberry Schnapps
1/4 Bailey’s Irish Cream (Added drop-by-drop)
Add Grenadine to make a bloody brain
It should look disgusting but taste like strawberries and cream

2 oz. Vanilla Vodka
Splash of Pineapple Juice
Stir and Strain into shooter glass
Add a splash of Grenadine

1.5 oz. Vodka
.5 oz. Raspberry Liqueur
