Just curious as to what everyone's favorite shots are in Cancun? I've only had the Mexican Flag so far.

A few ideas from previous posts - my answer is tequila.

Ours has to be the "snake bite" I am sure it has different names at different resorts. This was at Secrets Huatulco.

Layers of: Baileys, Kahlua & on top Blue Curacao blended with coconut milk until foamy. So yummy......hope they can do something like that at Moon Palace in a month.... :-)

Until now never really realized there were "mixed" shots. In Mexico we usually just do tequila straight.

White Coral & Bumblebee. Sun Palace & Beach makes White Coral and only Beach Palace makes the Bumblebee. The one bartender invented the Bumblebee.

I'll second the Mexican flag shot. One thing about Tequila, ask the bartenders for their recommendation on good tequila shots.

Interesting thread. A Mexican businessman friend, always cringed when he saw tourists doing shots of good tequila. He says good tequila is to be sipped and enjoyed , like other good alcoholic beverages. His thought was the shots were a good way to sell alcohol and to get rid of tequila such as Cuervo Gold. I agree, it is a good move for bars so they can sell alcohol quickly.

Agree on the tequila, especially reposado. My choice. However, for the ladies, I concocted this strange shot... Half shot of Kahlua or coffee liquor, and half shot of gold rum. Whatever you do, DON"T use tequila instead of the rum. Wife is still mad at me for using tequila.
