FAQ's

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of The Baby Assassin compare to other shot-based cocktails?

The Baby Assassin has an alcohol content of 34.5%, which is relatively high for shot-based cocktails. Most shots and shooters range between 20% to 40% alcohol by volume (ABV), making The Baby Assassin at the higher end of the spectrum. This is due to the combination of Sambuca, Tequila, and Aftershock (both Blue and Red), which are all high in alcohol content.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve The Baby Assassin to enhance its flavors?

The best way to serve The Baby Assassin is cold, straight out of the freezer. Given its high alcohol content and blend of bold flavors, chilling it can help to slightly mellow the intensity while making the shot more refreshing. Serving it in a standard shot glass is ideal to maintain its intended potency and flavor profile.

Ingredient specifics icon

What can you tell me about the Aftershock ingredient in The Baby Assassin?

Aftershock is a family of fruit-flavored liqueurs that are known for their vibrant colors and unique flavors. There are two types used in The Baby Assassin: Aftershock Blue, which has a cool citrus flavor, and Aftershock Red, which has a cinnamon flavor. Both add a distinct character to the cocktail, contributing to its bold taste and vibrant appearance.

Occasion suitability icon

What occasions are best suited for serving The Baby Assassin?

Given its high alcohol content and potent flavor profile, The Baby Assassin is best suited for lively occasions such as parties, celebrations, or nights out where the goal is to enjoy a powerful and memorable shot. It's particularly popular among those who seek adventurous and strong-tasting cocktails.

Customization ideas icon

Are there any suggestions for customizing The Baby Assassin to suit different preferences?

For those looking to customize The Baby Assassin, consider adjusting the proportions of its ingredients to tweak the flavor intensity or alcohol content. For a slightly sweeter taste, you might increase the amount of Sambuca. To lower the alcohol content, you could substitute one of the liqueurs with a non-alcoholic syrup of a similar flavor or simply decrease the quantities of each alcoholic ingredient and substitute the volume with a mix, such as a citrus soda, for a lighter version.
