What is Water Moccasin?
The Water Moccasin shot is one of those party legends that sneaks up on you. Sweet, citrusy, and deceptively smooth, it blends whiskey with peach schnapps, sweet and sour, and a splash of Cointreau to create a dangerously drinkable shot that goes down far easier than it probably should. It’s bold without being harsh, which might explain why it keeps showing up at bars, house parties, and let’s be honest, slightly chaotic celebrations.
I believe this shot really shines when served ice cold and shared with friends who think they can “handle one more.” If you enjoy playful, sweet-forward shooters, this one sits nicely alongside classics like the Green Tea Shot or the Washington Apple. Different vibe, same problem. You’ll want another.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
Why You'll Love It?
- Sweet meets spirited — smooth whiskey blends beautifully with peach schnapps for a bold yet approachable profile.
- Bright & balanced — Cointreau and sweet-and-sour mix add citrus lift that keeps each sip refreshing.
- Effortlessly crowd-pleasing — its fruity warmth and silky finish make it a hit for casual parties or elevated cocktails.
