The Screaming Orgasm Shot layers the flavors of the classic Orgasm cocktail — created in the 1980s as part of a wave of novelty drinks with provocative names — into shooter form. The Orgasm combined amaretto, Irish cream, and coffee liqueur for a rich, dessert-forward flavor, and the Screaming Orgasm added vodka to the mix to increase alcoholic punch. Like the Buttery Nipple, Slippery Nipple, and other provocatively named shots of the decade, the Screaming Orgasm relied on its memorable name as a marketing asset, requiring a certain theatrical confidence to order and generating conversation among groups. The combination of almond-sweet amaretto, creamy Irish cream, bitter coffee liqueur, and neutral vodka created a complex, dessert-style shooter that was broadly appealing despite — or because of — its audacious name.
