A Quick Look at Beer Shooters

Beer shooters, sometimes called bomb shots, are all about speed and fun—drop a shot glass into a bigger glass of beer and soda, then drink it before the fizz settles. They became popular in the ’80s and ’90s, when bars started experimenting with playful, high-energy drinks. The Mountain Dew Party Shooter fits right in with that tradition, but adds a neon-green twist thanks to Midori.

What You’ll Need

  • Beer – This is your base. A light lager or pale ale works best, giving the drink fizz and a little bite without overpowering the melon sweetness.
  • Midori® Melon Liqueur – The star of the show. Its honeydew flavor and electric green color turn a simple beer shot into a party trick.
  • Lemon-Lime Soda – Crisp, citrusy, and just sweet enough. Balances the beer and boosts the fizz factor.
  • Beer Mug – Not just for looks—the sturdy mug holds the fizz and can take the impact when you drop the shot glass inside.

Neon-Green Fun in a Glass

What makes this shooter special is the balance: crisp beer, sweet Midori, and refreshing soda. The color pops instantly, making it a conversation starter at any party. It’s light, fizzy, and easy to down—perfect for when you want a drink that’s more about laughs and fun than slow sipping.

Variations Worth Trying

  • Swap the Midori – Try peach schnapps for a fruity kick, or blue curaçao for a bright, ocean-blue version.
  • Change the Soda – Use citrus sparkling water for a lighter option, or go with lemon soda for extra tang.
  • Add Juice – A splash of pineapple or orange juice makes it even more tropical.
  • Go Alcohol-Free – Use non-alcoholic beer and citrus seltzer for a fun mocktail version.

Tips for Serving

  • Chill the beer mug before pouring for maximum refreshment.
  • Line up a few shooters and drop the shots at the same time—it adds to the party vibe.
  • Serve at summer BBQs, game-day parties, or late-night gatherings when you need a quick hit of fun.
