FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute a different type of liqueur if I don't have Creme De Menthe for the Aero Bar Shot?

Yes, if you don't have Creme De Menthe, you can substitute it with another mint-flavored liqueur to maintain the minty profile of the Aero Bar Shot. However, keep in mind that the substitute might have a slightly different sweetness or intensity of flavor, which could slightly alter the final taste of the cocktail.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the best way to serve an Aero Bar Shot?

The Aero Bar Shot is best served cold in a shot glass. You can chill the glass beforehand to enhance the coldness. Pouring the ingredients in layers can also add to the visual appeal of the drink, making it an especially attractive option for parties and gatherings.

Alcohol content comparison icon

How does the alcohol content of the Aero Bar Shot compare to other popular shots?

With an alcohol content of 17.33%, the Aero Bar Shot is moderately strong. It is less potent than straight shots of hard liquors like whiskey or vodka, which typically have an alcohol content of around 40%, but stronger than many mixed or fruity shots, which can vary widely but often fall below 15% alcohol by volume.

Occasion suitability icon

What occasions are best suited for serving Aero Bar Shots?

Aero Bar Shots, with their sweet and minty profile, are perfect for celebrations and social gatherings, especially where themed or novelty drinks are appreciated. They can be a fun addition to holiday parties, especially those around St. Patrick’s Day because of the green color from the Creme De Menthe, or any event where a visually impactful, easy-to-consume drink is desired.

Preparation techniques icon

Do I need to mix or shake the ingredients for an Aero Bar Shot?

The Aero Bar Shot is not typically mixed or shaken. The ingredients are poured directly into a shot glass, potentially layered for visual effect. However, if you prefer a more integrated blend of flavors, you can gently stir the ingredients together in the glass with a cocktail stirrer or a small spoon, but traditionally layering is preferred to achieve the characteristic look and taste.
