The Cement Mixer shot recipe (aka Concrete Mixer) is the most polarizing shot EVER—you will either love it or hate it. Made by combining Irish cream liqueur and lime juice this shot curdles in your mouth. I repeat, this shot is an intentionally curdled texture. Hence the name—cement mixer. This shot has the texture of uncured cement (or more accurately, cottage cheese).
Whether you are drinking this ironically, as a dare or for some other reason, most humans will never understand this is definitely a drink you MUST enjoy in front of an audience. It is hilarious.

Instructions
In a shot glass, pour one part chilled Irish cream liqueur.

What does a Cement Mixer taste like?
The unique texture of a cement mixer is what makes this recipe truly memorable. When acidic lime juice mixes with the fat of the Irish cream liqueur, the texture transforms to a lumpy slurry. This gag shot is a party trick and makes an excellent dare.
Tips for Making
- Serve with a delicious chaser. This drink has my vote for “worst shot recipe ever created” and many people online claim it’s the most disgusting thing they have ever tasted. The novelty may wear off fast, so have other tastier options available.
- You can substitute Bailey’s for any other Irish cream liqueur. You can substitute lime juice for lemon juice if needed. The effect will be the same.
