Mountain Dew Party Shooter with Midori & Beer
The Mountain Dew Party Shooter with Midori & Beer is a neon-green bomb shot that mixes sweet melon liqueur, crisp beer, and fizzy lemon-lime soda. Fun, fast, and easy to make, it’s the ultimate party shooter for tailgates, house parties, or late-night get-togethers.
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.
