Why we love the water moccasin shot

This shooter is popular among college students and party goers everywhere. It’s similar to a southern snake bite (that’s Southern Comfort and lime), but it’s so much better thanks to the addition of triple sec and peach schnapps.

Just be careful, these shots can sneak up on you just like cottonmouth snake, and if you have one too many, you’ll feel like you’ve crawled out of a swamp.
