Happy Hour: Espresso Shots

These shooters are sure to keep the party going. Pass them around any time you need an energy boost. They’ve fueled many of my parties and kept guests dancing longer than they originally intended to. Yield: Makes 3 to 4 ounces.

Ingredients
Peel of an orange
Chocolate shavings from the best quality chocolate bar
Chili pepper flakes
1 ounce best quality, premium Vodka or Tequila
1/2 ounce Kahlua especial (70 proof)
1/2 ounce Tia Maria
1 ounce cold espresso

Instructions

1. Rim the tube/shot glass with the peel of an orange rind. Dip the rim of the glass in chocolate shavings and chili pepper flakes.

2. Place the vodka or tequila, Kahlua, Tia Maria and espresso in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into test tubes or shot glasses.
