You can call this one a cocktail or a shot – I’ve seen it both ways. Although I couldn’t find an interesting back story on the “recipe,” I did find a few funny and possibly illegal variations that I’ll list below.
What’s In A Three Wise Men Shot?
This one is hardcore.
The classic version calls for equal parts Johnnie Walker Scotch, Jack Daniels Whiskey, and Jim Beam Bourbon.
Do not ask me who came up with the idea of taking these prudent fellas on excursions to switch up the spirits.
My money is on a creative bartender -hope he or she got a good tip:)
Variations include taking the three men on a hunt by adding Wild Turkey, across the border with a little Tequila, on a tropical vacay with Captain Morgan, and an LSD trip with Absinthe. Details are listed below the classic.
Is The Three Wisemen Shot Keto-Friendly?
If you’re watching carbs, you’re covered.
Whiskey has no added sugars and 0 carbs. This 100% whiskey shot is 100% keto: we aren’t bringing any sugar-filled mixers or add in’s to the table.
The Three Wisemen is a serious, no-frills; it only takes one kind of drink. If you need something fruity with an umbrella – click here for keto cocktails.
