The Cement Mixer is less a drink than a dare: Irish cream meets lime juice, and as soon as the two come together in your mouth, the cream curdles into a viscous mass. Hence the name. A party gag for everyone with a strong stomach.
Instructions
- Pour the Irish cream liqueur into a shot glass.
- Keep the fresh lime juice ready separately.
- First take the liqueur into your mouth, but do not swallow yet.
- Pour in the lime juice afterward and mix both in your mouth.
- Swallow the now viscous shot.
Garnish: Lime wedge
Pro tip: Mix the lime juice with the liqueur only in your mouth - that is exactly when the typical curdling effect occurs that gives the shot its name.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the shot called a Cement Mixer?
The acidity of the lime makes the cream liqueur curdle in your mouth, creating a cement-like, lumpy mass.
Is the Cement Mixer a serious drink?
No, it is a classic novelty shot, drunk mainly for its unusual texture.
Which liqueur is suitable?
Any whiskey-based cream liqueur such as Baileys works, since the milk it contains reacts with the acidity.
