There’s some disagreement in the drinks world about what exactly a Liquid Cocaine shot contains. Some camps say Jägermeister, overproof rum and peppermint or cinnamon schnapps. And.
Make it however you like; the recipe below is merely a starting point. Out of one type of schnapps? Use the other. Not a fan of cinnamon? That’s what peppermint is for. Enjoy both? Use both. Don’t like either? Double the Jäger, add the rum and call it good. Jägermeister is the only constant and truly required element, and despite its bad rap as a party shooter (probably not least because of this very shot), it’s a truly delicious bitter liqueur that plays well with a surprising number of flavors.
