Tequila Shots FAQ

What is the best type of tequila to use for tequila shots?

Generally speaking, if you are mixing tequila with other flavors, such as juice, syrup or other alcohol, it is best to use a mid-shelf tequila. Save high end tequila for drinking on the rocks, or using in a spirit-forward tequila-based cocktail that you will sip slowly (rather than a party shot).

Can I use mezcal instead of tequila?

Sure! But mezcal is much more expensive than tequila, so you may want to save it, or use it in a recipe specifically made for mezcal, such as this Pineapple Mezcal Cocktail.

What type of shot glass should I use for tequila shots?

Any type of shot glass will work for these recipes, but the number of shots that the recipe makes will vary depending on the size of your glass. A true shot glass holds 1 ½ ounces of liquid, whereas a shooter glass is closer to 3 ounces. You can also try using fun shot glasses if you are serving them at a party.

Can I make these tequila shooters in advance?

Most of these shooters can be made at least a couple hours in advance. Follow the directions given in each of the recipes below for specific guidance.
