Yukon Jack is a Canadian Whiskey and Honey Based Liqueur that is produced by Sazerac Company. It is 100 proof with an ABV of 50%. It is sometimes called the "Black Sheep of Canadian Liquors"

This Snake bite Shot uses the original recipe but you will also find variations of Yukon Jack in Barrel Proof, Rye, Fire, Apple, Honey, and Snakebite flavors.

Equipment Needed

OXO angled jiggers - these are our go-to measuring tools for cocktails. They work perfectly for pouring in layers for cocktails.

2 ounce shot glasses

Cocktail Shaker

How to make a Snakebite Shot

Step 2- Strain into a shot glass and enjoy the snakebite shooter.

Recipe Tips

We have heard that some bartenders will not serve the snake bite cocktail because it is so strong. If you run into this just smile and order something different.

There is a British version of the Snake Bite that creates a layered cocktail with hard cider and lager similar to a Black and Tan served in a pint glass. The British Snakebite does not have Yukon Jack in it but may have blackcurrant cordial liqueur poured on top of the drink.

We have seen recipes that add hot sauce to this cocktail but we have not tried it.
