Ingredients
2 oz Jack Daniel’s whiskey
2 oz lemon-lime soda (like Sprite or 7Up)
1 oz fresh lemon juice
¾ oz blue curaçao
Ice
Lemon wedges or wheels, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
Add whiskey, fresh lemon juice, and blue curaçao.
Shake well for 10–15 seconds until chilled.
Strain into shot glasses or small mason jars filled with fresh ice.
Slowly top each glass with lemon-lime soda to preserve the fizz.
Garnish with a lemon wedge or wheel and serve immediately.
Notes
Want it sweeter? Add ½ oz simple syrup or a splash of lemonade.
To dial up the strength, increase whiskey to 3 oz and reduce soda.
For a fun mocktail version, skip the whiskey, double the soda, and add a splash of vanilla extract.
These shots can be turned into a full cocktail—just pour into a tall glass over ice and sip away.
Prep the base mix (without soda) in advance and refrigerate to save time when serving a crowd.
