History & Origin

The Red Death shot gets its ominous name from both its blood-red color and its potent mix of multiple spirits. The combination of vodka, Southern Comfort, amaretto, sloe gin, and orange juice creates a deceptively smooth shot that packs a serious punch. Its a favorite at Halloween parties.
