Notes
The Exxon Valdez Shot is perfect for those who enjoy contrasting flavours. The sweet, buttery taste of butterscotch schnapps pairs surprisingly well with the bold, anise flavour of white sambuca. It’s all about finding that balance between smooth sweetness and strong licorice. To get that perfect layer, take your time when pouring the sambuca, and make sure to use a spoon to help keep the layers separated.
This shot works well as a conversation starter at any gathering. Its simple ingredients make it easy to whip up, but the result is always impressive. Try experimenting with other schnapps flavours to see how they mix with sambuca if you want to switch things up.
