The Tequila Slammer is the party shot par excellence: tequila and sparkling wine, sealed with the hand and slammed firmly on the table before it is downed foaming. The spectacular effect is guaranteed to liven up the group. Quickly mixed and a real eye-catcher at any celebration.

Instructions

  1. Pour tequila into a sturdy shot glass.
  2. Top up with sparkling wine or soda, but do not fill the glass completely.
  3. Seal the opening of the glass firmly with the palm of your hand or a coaster.
  4. Slam the glass briefly and firmly onto a solid surface.
  5. Drink the foaming shot immediately in one go.

Garnish: None

Pro tip: The glass must stay at least half empty and be firmly sealed with the hand - only this way does enough pressure build up when slammed for the fizzy effect.

Frequently asked questions

Why do you slam the Tequila Slammer on the table?

The slamming suddenly releases the carbonation of the sparkling wine, the shot foams up and unfolds its fizzy aroma immediately when drunk.

Can I use soda instead of sparkling wine?

Yes, a lemon-lime soda is a popular lower-alcohol alternative that also brings enough carbonation for the typical effect.

Which glass is best?

Use a thick-walled, sturdy shot glass that withstands the firm slamming so it does not break.
