Ingredients To Make Water Moccasin Shots

To make Water Moccasin Shots, you’ll need just four ingredients that tie everything together and take this recipe to the next level.

Whiskey – Crown Royal (Canadian Whisky) is most commonly used in water moccasin shots because it has subtle vanilla notes and a bit of spice and sweetness. However, you could also use Jack Daniels (Tennessee Whiskey) or Captain Morgan (Spiced Rum) in this shot.

Peach Schnapps – Peach schnapps adds sweetness and a subtle fruity flavor to the shot.

Sweet and Sour Mix – Sweet and sour mix adds both sweetness and acidity. If you don’t have a sweet and sour mix on hand, you can use ½ ounce lemon juice, ½ ounce lime juice, and 1 teaspoon simple syrup (or ½ teaspoon quick dissolve sugar).

Triple Sec – Triple Sec enhances the fruitiness in the shot and helps add a bit more alcohol.

With these ingredients, you can make Water Moccasin Shots with simple ingredients that are sure to wow your guests.

Cindy’s Tips And Tricks For Making Water Moccasin Shots

Find A Whisky You Love

Customize this simple shot to your liquor preferences. Take some time to taste-test different bourbons, ryes or whiskies to determine your favorite brand for the shot.

The whiskey you choose will impact the flavor profile, so find one you love.

If whiskey isn’t your style, substitute rum, vodka, or even tequila! The peach schnapps and citrus flavors still shine through.

Try Serving In Chilled Glasses

The sensation of sipping chilled liquor makes the shot go down ultra smooth!

Garnish With Lemon and Peach Slices

Take thin slices of lemon, peach, or both and place one on the rim of each chilled shot glass before pouring the cocktail in. The bright pop of color lets guests know they’re in for a sweet, fruit-forward flavor sensation.

You can skewer the fruit on decorative cocktail picks for an even prettier presentation.
