How to Make a Mason Jar Shark Attack Shot

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at JWU Providence chapter.

This shark attack shot is perfect if you are looking to impress your party guests with something they’ve never seen before, or just want some fun to yourself — just make sure you don’t get bit. Shark Week can bring it.

#SpoonTip: Layering shots is all about alcohol densities. In order to make sure that they don’t mix, you need to make sure that the alcohol with the highest density goes on the bottom, and you work your way up with the following layers.

Here are the alcohol densities that we worked with, from bottom to top:

  1. Grenadine: 1.18
  2. Blue Curaçao: 1.11
  3. Green Apple Smirnoff Vodka: 0.916

    Add the Blue Curaçao very slowly, so that it doesn’t mix with the grenadine.

    Slowly pour in the Smirnoff Green Apple vodka on top of the Blue Curaçao.

    #SpoonTip: The easiest way to do this, especially if you have shaky hands, is to pour the vodka onto a spoon and then slowly pour it into the shot glass so that they don’t mix.

    Add a gummy shark to the top and enjoy.
