Ingredients & substitutions

• Irish whiskey – We used Jameson but any Irish whiskey will work great.
• Butterscotch schnapps – This is what give the shot it’s distinct breakfast flavor, reminiscent of maple syrup.
• Orange juice – This will be a chaser, but it is also an important flavor element. The acidity of the orange juice helps smooth the harshness of the whiskey leaving you with a sweet, sunny aftertaste.
• Bacon – optional, but makes for a beautiful presentation.
