You don’t have to buy a whole bottle of liquor to try them either; most of these items can be bought in nip size, so you can try one or all of them!
1. Snow Cone
eHow.com
- 1/2 ounce BlackHaus Liquor (Blackberry Schnapps)
- 1/2 ounce Blue Curacao
- Splash of Lemonade
- Splash of Sprite
- Ice
When making this shot, you should use a shaker, but since I’m not fancy, you can rig one using a glass and any flat object to cover the top of the cup or glass.
Fill the glass halfway with ice, pour about 1/2 ounce blackberry schnapps, then 1/2 ounce Blue Curacao. Add a splash of lemonade and a splash of sprite. Shake up your shot and pour into shot glasses!

Party like royalty with this shot! I am assuming the name is in reference to the Goldschlager, which is a cinnamon liquor infused with real gold flecks…fancy, I know. Pick up a couple of nips of Goldschlager and the two brandy’s and you will be on your way!

- 1 part Goldschlager
