Notes
Variations and substitutions
No Irish whiskey? You can use bourbon or rye, but the shots won’t taste quite the same. They will still be good though! No butterscotch schnapps? You can use maple syrup or maple liqueur. No OJ? Serve them with an orange slice instead to use as your chaser, à la a shot of tequila with lime. Omissions: You can skip the bacon and orange juice if you really want to. The shots will taste like maple syrup on their own. However, the tangy orange juice and salty bacon make for a well-rounded breakfast flavor.Nutrition
