Simple Recipe Box

Welcome back to the Simple Recipe Box podcast with your host, Ben Harper. Today, we're diving into a fun and fizzy cocktail craze that’s taking the nation by storm—the Tic Tac Shot. This refreshing drink is not only a burst of flavor but also incredibly easy to whip up at home, making it perfect for your next gathering or just a chill evening.

Let's start with what you'll need to make this trendy shot. Grab your notepad, and let’s list the ingredients:

• 1.5 oz of your favorite vodka. You can go classic or try something with a bit of a twist, like citrus or mint-flavored vodka.
• 4 to 6 Tic Tac mints. Peppermint or spearmint usually works great, but feel free to experiment with other flavors.
• 4 oz of lemon-lime soda, like 7-Up or Sprite, to top it off and add that necessary fizz.

Now, you might be wondering about the tools. Don’t worry; it’s nothing fancy. You’ll need:

• A shot glass for serving.
• A stirring stick to mix things up smoothly.
• Some basic measuring tools to get your proportions just right.

Once you've got your ingredients and tools ready, it’s time to mix. Here’s how you’ll do it:

• First, fill your shot glass with 1.5 oz of vodka.
• Next, drop those Tic Tac mints right into the vodka. This is where the magic starts as the mints begin to infuse the vodka with their minty goodness.
• Finally, top off the shot glass with your lemon-lime soda. Pour it gently to keep all that lovely fizz.

And just like that, your Tic Tac Shot is ready to enjoy! This drink is perfect for playing around with different flavors. Why not set up a little tasting session with various Tic Tac flavors or vodkas? It’s a great way to add a personal touch and see which combinations your taste buds prefer.

Before I let you go, here are a couple of quick tips:

• For a stronger mint flavor, feel free to add a couple more Tic Tacs.
• Always use chilled vodka for that crisp, refreshing taste.
• If you’re feeling adventurous, add a splash of lemon juice for an extra zesty kick.

There you have it, folks! The Tic Tac Shot is simple, fun, and sure to impress your guests. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out. Thanks for tuning in to Simple Recipe Box. Until next time, keep those spirits up and those cocktails interesting. Cheers, everyone!
