From Colleen Graham, your Guide to Cocktails

It is time for another shooter edition, that special newsletter dedicated to the fun shots that come out just when the party's really getting started. This round includes some fruity mixes that almost everyone will enjoy and they're a little smoother than most to get down. Have a great weekend, stay safe, and Cheers!

Honey Dew Me
Honey Dew Me

There is a fun connotation to this shot and I'm sure many people will have fun simply saying the name. The mix is actually quite smooth, though it may make you pucker a bit. The tart taste of lemon liqueur is offset with the smooth honey flavor of Barenjager, and you can choose either orange or pineapple juices to finish it off to perfection. Get the recipe...

Kool Aid (shooter)
Kool Aid ShotOh, how we love to regress to the things of our childhood and it never fails that there's a shot around to remind of us some of the perks of being a kid. The great news is that you don't need to spend half an hour dissolving those little sugar packets to create this shot. The only thing you need is Midori, amaretto, and a little cranberry juice straight out of the bottle. Some say it tastes like Kool-Aid. Get the recipe...
