How to Make a Fire Engine With Alarm

Fire engines are often associated with a bright red color and feature a loud alarm that can signal traffic to move to the side when the engine is on the way to put out a blaze. A mixed drink called the Fire Engine with Alarm takes on the association of a fire engine by sporting a red color and the strong combination of Jagermeister and vodka. Jagermeister is a licorice-flavored alcoholic beverage produced by combining 56 herbs, spices and roots. The mixture is aged for at least a year in oak barrels and is then mixed with sugar, alcohol and caramel.http://www.snopes.com/business/secret/jagermeister.asp If you like to offer a range of drink selections when you host a party, consider adding a Fire Engine with Alarm to your drink arsenal.

Step 1: Purchase Ingredients

Obtain vodka, Jagermeister and a red soda of your choice, such as a fruit punch. Bartender JaNee Nisonger recommends using Smirnoff vodka or any vodka you have on hand. You will also need a 3 ounce shot glass, a stainless steel shaker, a measuring glass and ice.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U4hN7IyRxQ

Step 2: Measure and Combine Ingredients

Fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Measure 1 ounce of Jagermeister and add it to your shaker, then add one ounce of your vodka. Top your mixture with 1/2 ounce of your soda to provide a red hue to your drink. You can modify the drink proportions to suit your flavor preferences, but ensure you have less than 3 ounces total to avoid over filling your shot glass.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U4hN7IyRxQ

Step 3: Shake and Serve Your Shot

Place the strainer and lid on your cocktail shaker. Shake gently as the drink is carbonated and too much agitation could cause an explosion. Shake about 6 times, or until your drink is thoroughly mixed. Take off the lid and strain the mixture into your shooter style shot glass. Your drink is now ready to be served.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U4hN7IyRxQ,
