The "Buttery Nipple" Shot

Aruba Beach Cafe is definitely an extremely fun restaurant. It is located on Commercial Boulevard all the way down by the beach. From the moment I walked in I knew it was going to be a very good night. It is a restaurant/bar. They have a dance floor that is located right next to the main bar. We went out for my girlfriend Alexis' 21st birthday (white shirt) and we finished off dinner with a round of shots to celebrate her birthday. She decided she wanted to do a round of Buttery Nipple Shots. The Buttery Nipple Shot is one of the most popular shots around, but everyone has their own twist on this shot.

The Buttery Nipple Shot is made by:
1 oz Buttershots liqueur
1/2 oz Irish cream Irish cream
1 tsp grenadine syrup
Pour Buttershots into shot glass.
Add Grenadine.
Top with Irish Cream of choice

This Buttery Nipple shot was very good. It tasted different than all the other Buttery Nipple Shots I have tried in the past. This shot was sweeter than most and it had a very strong after taste. I asked the bartender, Christy, what their signature shot was and she told us the Buttery Nipple Shot. She was very accurate because this shot was extremely strong and you definitely the difference after just one shot. What made the effects of the shot even better was the live band that plays throughout the whole night. This was a great place to go and try either a new shot or a good but an oldie, such as the Buttery Nipple. If you want to be surrounded but good music, great people, and fantastic Buttery Nipples Shots, this is the place to go.

The "Birthday" Shot

As most people that know me are aware, I absolutely love my birthday. So for my 22nd birthday this year I decided to try different types of shots. All of my friends joined me at the Whiskey Blue Lounge in the W hotel on Fort Lauderdale beach. I highly recommend everyone coming to Whiskey Blue if they are up for trying new and exciting drinks. This very fun and handsome bartender named Bill told me that he wanted to make me a "special" birthday shot. At first i was apprehensive, but then I thought "Why not? It's my birthday!" After I took the shot I asked Bill what it was and he said it was a Lemon Drop Fusion Shot.


I had only ever heard of a Lemon Drop Fusion Martini, but he informed me that he made it into a shot, just for me :) A single Lemon Drop Fusion Shot is made up of:

2 oz lemon vodka

1 oz triple sec

1/2 oz Cocktail Infusions Cranberry Twist

3 splashes lemon juice

2 1/2 oz lemonade with pulp

1 oz orange juice with pulp.

Finally you shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.

This had to be hands down one of the best shots I have ever tasted. I thought the best thing about Whiskey Blue was the lounge, but I was very wrong. This "special" birthday shot that Bill made me for my birthday is the thing that keeps me coming back to Whiskey Blue. The girls and I actually went out to Whiskey Blue on Saturday for my friend Ashley's birthday and we had a round of shots. Of course I convinced everyone to try the Lemon Drop Fusion Shot and all of my girlfriends fell in love with it. This shot has become the new thing for us to drink everytime we go out. Between the ambiance of the lounge and the tasty shot, this would definitely be considered to be one of the best birthdays I have ever had.

This is what the ambiance of Whiskey Blue looks like. Come out and try one of the most amazing shots you have ever had in your life, the Lemon Drop Fusion Shot, and have a wonderful time in a relaxing, fun environment.
