When you hear that song “Shots” by LMFAO, the word “refined” doesn’t necessarily come to mind. Instead, it evokes the image of sloppy, end of the night drinking with the sole aim of getting plastered. But craft cocktail culture has been responsible for returning dignity back to the drinking scene. Drinks that take time to make, and are meant to be savored, have replaced the quick well drink you order strictly to get your drunk on. Shots were the last frontier of the vintage cocktail movement, but they too have succumbed to a classier fate. With that, here are some fancy recipes to make in tiny glasses. Jägermeister even has one to replace the Jägerbomb.
