Ingredients:
- 1.5 oz Tequila Blanco (a good quality one makes a difference!)
- 0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 0.5 oz Agave Nectar
- 2 Dashes Angostura Bitters
- Lime wedge, for garnish (optional)
- Coarse salt, for rimming the glass (optional)
Instructions:
- Chill your glasses: If you're using shot glasses, pop them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before you start. This ensures a nice, cold shot.
- Prepare the rim (optional): If you want a salty rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip it into a plate of coarse salt.
- Combine ingredients: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the tequila, lime juice, agave nectar, and Angostura bitters.
- Shake well: Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled.
- Strain and serve: Strain the mixture into your chilled shot glasses.
- Garnish: Add a lime wedge to each shot glass for a touch of elegance (or just because it looks good!).
Tips for the Best Johnny Vegas Shot:
- Use fresh lime juice: This makes a world of difference in flavor compared to bottled lime juice.
- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter shot, add a little more agave nectar. If you like it more tart, reduce the agave.
- Experiment with tequila: Try different brands of tequila blanco to see which one you prefer. A reposado tequila could also work for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Make a batch: This recipe is easily multiplied to make a batch for a party. Just remember to scale up all the ingredients proportionally.
Variations:
- Spicy Johnny Vegas: Add a few slices of jalapeño to the shaker for a spicy kick.
- Fruity Johnny Vegas: Muddle a few raspberries or strawberries in the shaker before adding the other ingredients for a fruity twist.
