Upgrade Your Brunch With an Irish Breakfast Shot
Extra bacon, please.
Also known as the “Irish Pancake Breakfast,” the Irish Breakfast shot takes the most important meal of the day and shoves it into a 1.5-ounce glass. It joins the likes of the Pickleback as a shot made famous by its chaser―in this case, a glass of fresh orange juice and a slice of crispy, savory bacon. If done in the correct order (shot, then OJ, then bacon), the shot should leave you feeling like you just took a bite of maple syrup-drizzled pancakes.
Though it’s a mystery to us why it’s deemed Irish (since it doesn’t include any part of a traditional Irish breakfast—not even the blood pudding), one thing is for sure: It doesn’t need to be St. Patrick’s Day for you to enjoy this boozy breakfast of champions.
