Shot cocktails

A shooter, or shot, is a mixed drink, generally consumed quickly, often in a single gulp. Shots are served as a "side" to a larger drink. Shots can be shaken, stirred, blended, layered, or simply poured. Shot glasses or sherry glasses are the usual drinkware in which shots are served. The ingredients of shooters ranging from bartender to bartender and from region to region thus two shooters can have the same name but other ingredients, resulting in two very distinct tastes.
