How to Serve Irish Breakfast Shots
Breakfast shots are served in shot glasses and taste best when enjoyed right after mixing. You can either combine the whiskey, schnapps, and orange juice together and take them as a single shot, or combine the whiskey and schnapps together in the shot glass and chase it with a small glass of orange juice.
Serve with a strip of bacon or candied bacon on top and take a bite after drinking the shot. You could also create this into a cocktail by serving it in a glass over ice and increasing the orange juice.
