Ingredients:

  • 5 fl oz (45 ml) Chilled Irish Cream Liqueur (e.g., Baileys)
  • 75 fl oz (22 ml) Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice

Instructions:

  1. Chill the Components: Ensure both the Irish Cream Liqueur and the shot glass are thoroughly chilled in the freezer or refrigerator for at least 30 minutes prior to preparation.
  2. Juice the Lime: Freshly squeeze the required amount of lime juice and set it aside. Must use fresh juice for the best chemical reaction.
  3. Pour the Cream: Carefully pour the 1.5 fl oz (45 ml) of chilled Irish Cream Liqueur into the chilled shot glass.
  4. Prepare the Lime: Have the measured 0.75 fl oz (22 ml) lime juice ready in a separate vessel (or jigger).
  5. The Moment of Truth: Just before handing the Cement Truck Shot to the consumer, pour the lime juice directly on top of the cream. You will see the reaction beginning immediately at the interface.
  6. Immediate Consumption: Instruct the consumer to immediately place the entire shot in their mouth.
  7. The Swirl: Once the liquid is in the mouth, swirl it vigorously inside the cheek cavity for approximately 3 to 5 seconds. This combines the acid and cream, initiating the full curdling process.
  8. Down the Hatch: Swallow the mixture in one rapid gulp before the curdled mass completely solidifies.
