RED-HEADED SLUT SHOT RECIPE
The Red-Headed Slut is a sweet, tart shot, made with a Jagermeister base. Many don't like the name, so it sometimes goes by "Ginger Slammer", "Ginger Bitch", or even "Lindsay Lohan", although the latter is a slightly different drink. This cocktail is easy to make, and goes down even easier.
It's got a great red color, and it's a very popular choice for women seeking a bit of fun with an easy, sweet shot on a night out. The Red-Headed Slut's sweet, herbal flavor goes down an absolute treat, and goes down surprisingly easy for a shot.
Ingredients
- ½ Ounce Jagermeister
- ½ Ounce Peach Schnapps
- ½ Ounce Cranberry Juice
- 1 Cherry or Strawberry (garnish, optional)
Method
- Fill a shaker with ice.
- Pour the Jagermeister, Peach Schnapps, and Cranberry Juice into the shaker.
- Shake for 10-15 seconds.
- Strain into a shot glass, and add the garnish if you'd like.
- Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
This recipe makes 1 shot, but you can adjust the quantities to make more or less servings, as required.
If you're making a mixed drink instead, you can stir this cocktail in a mixing glass, instead of shaking.
In some places, you'll see this recipe with the Jagermeister doubled. Do this if you want your shots to be stronger, and they'll still taste great. If you just add more Jagermeister, the recipe will probably make 2 shots instead of 1.
To make the drink extra strong, try swapping out the cranberry juice for some cranberry flavored vodka.
