What is Hiroshima?
The Hiroshima shot is one of those visually dramatic layered shooters that instantly grabs attention at any gathering. With bold anise notes from Sambuca and absinthe balanced by the creamy sweetness of Irish cream, this shot is as much about presentation as it is about flavor. The slow drip of grenadine creates a striking “explosion” effect that blooms through the glass, making it a true showstopper for parties.
If you love layered shots like the B-52, the Hiroshima shot is a must-try addition to your lineup. It is quick to build, requires no shaking, and delivers a surprisingly smooth, sweet-meets-herbal profile in a compact, dramatic pour.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
