The Alligator Shot has many variations including Sex with an Alligator {sour mix, melon liqueur, raspberry liqueur and herbal liqueur}, the Sexy Alligator {melon liqueur, pineapple juice, amaretto liqueur and herbal liqueur} and an Alligator Bite {melon liqueur, over proof rum, herbal liqueur, raspberry liqueur, sour mix} to name a few. The Alligator can also be made into a simple long drink for an easy tailgating recipe with 1 part melon liqueur to 2 parts orange juice. Add a splash of rum or herbal liqueur for extra flavor if you like. The traditional Alligator Shot many are already familiar with is below.
Alligator Shot Recipe
Alligator Shot
1/2 ounce Melon Liqueur
1/2 ounce Coconut Rum
1/2 ounce Pineapple Juice
Dash Raspberry Liqueur
Float Herbal Liqueur {Jägermeister}
Combine first three ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a chilled shot glass. Slide raspberry liqueur down side of shot glass so it slips nicely to the bottom. Float Jager over the top. Alternative: Shake all ingredients in shot glass and strain into chilled shot glass. It will ultimately taste the same going down!
Make the Alligator Shot a long drink by adding a little extra pineapple juice, orange juice and splash of rum. Serve over ice in a highball glass.
Alligator Shot Tailgate and Football Team Pairing Ideas
The Alligator Shot would pair nicely with Florida Gator tailgate and football watch parties. Many college campuses have a policy of no alcohol on campus, so please keep within the guidelines of the law and campus code.

Keep in mind that many shots contain a quick dose of alcohol that is the equivalent to a full sized cocktail without filler soda or juice. While shooting a shot quickly might seem like nothing at first, it still packs a wallop to the body and must be taken into consideration when counting how many drinks one has consumed over the course of a day or evening. Pace yourself so you and others can enjoy game day.
