Mexican Thunderstorm Drink Recipe Instructions

Mexican Thunderstorm Recipe Preparation & Instructions:

Put Tequila and GoldschlÃ¤ger in the bottom of the glass (order doesn't matter) then the Sambuca on top. In theory what should happen is the Sambuca, being a heavier liquor than the other two will force it's way to the bottom of the shot glass, causing the Tequila and GoldschlÃ¤ger to "billow" (like clouds) against a "dark sky" (the Sambuca) to the top, with the flecks of gold from the GoldschlÃ¤ger looking like lightning bolts. And the Tequila of course makes it Mexican.

It's a powerful shot, but the cinnamon flavour of the GoldschlÃ¤ger really cuts the liquorice flavour of the Sambuca and makes it taste pretty good. But I'd still say it's an aquired taste, and it is pretty strong, and a few of them will definetley get you tipsy. Still it's a cool shot, and my personal favourite 🙂
