Our fave four shots of summer
Whether you’re going “shots, shots, shots” a la LMFAO and Lil Jon to run a wheel off or you just need some liquid courage without all the calories, these four unique local shots with backstory to boot are, well, worth a shot.
Front to Back Shot | The Cardinal
Think of this tangy shooter—a shot of the dive bar’s own pepperoncini-soaked vodka followed by a gulp of bloody mary mix—like pickleback’s cool older cousin. Reminiscent of Papa John’s pizza (those that get it, get it), it’s sure to spice up your evening—literally. @thecardinalbar
Tootsie Roll Shot | Hummingbird
Dessert in shot form? Say less. This sweet treat is made with Cathead honeysuckle vodka, Kaluha, orange and lemon—and will instantly make you feel like a kid in a candy store. Getting chip-faced for the win! @hummingbirdral
Cherry Bounce | Tap Yard (*returning fall 2023)
Rooted in Raleigh history (it’s literally the reason the City of Oaks is the capital of NC), the Cherry Bounce is making a comeback on Tap Yard’s menu this fall (!). First debuted at Isaac Hunter’s Tavern, the cherry-infused bourbon shot can also be enjoyed as a cocktail with a splash of soda water.

Blueberry Hibiscus Mini Marg | Killjoy
When you don’t want to be a killjoy but also aren’t in the mood for a full bev, turn to this mini margarita made with tequila, blueberry, hibiscus aqua fresca, lime and sugar that’s just as flavorful and refreshing as a full-size version—but much easier to cheers with. @killjoycocktail
