Quick Fuck
A visually distinct, layered shooter that balances the rich depth of coffee liqueur with the vibrant sweetness of melon and the smooth texture of Irish cream. This popular party shot is built in equal thirds, creating a colorful and flavorful experience.
What it tastes like
This layered shot leads with an aroma of roasted coffee and candy-like melon. The palate is heavy and syrupy, combining dairy cream with synthetic fruit and chocolate-coffee notes. It has a thick, coating mouthfeel and leaves a long, sugary finish on the tongue.
