Shellshock Instructions

Are you looking for a refreshing and delicious cocktail to enjoy on a warm summer evening? Look no further than the Shellshock cocktail! This delightful drink combines the flavors of citrus and mint, creating a zesty and invigorating beverage that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ or relaxing by the pool, the Shellshock cocktail is sure to impress your guests with its tantalizing taste and vibrant presentation.

To make a Shellshock cocktail, start by muddling a handful of fresh mint leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. This will release the aromatic oils from the mint and enhance the flavor of the drink. Next, add a generous amount of ice to the shaker, followed by the juice of one lime and a splash of simple syrup. Simple syrup is made by dissolving equal parts sugar and water, and it adds a touch of sweetness to the cocktail without overpowering the other flavors.

Once you have added the lime juice and simple syrup to the shaker, it's time to add the star ingredient: vodka. Choose a high-quality vodka, as it will have a smoother and more refined taste. Add a shot of vodka to the shaker, then give everything a good shake for about 10 seconds to mix all the ingredients together and chill the cocktail.

Finally, strain the cocktail into a chilled glass filled with ice cubes. This will ensure that the drink stays cold and refreshing throughout the serving. Garnish your Shellshock cocktail with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime for an extra touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy the invigorating flavors of the Shellshock cocktail!


Best served in a Pilsner Glass.
