Hog’s Breath Key Lime Shooter
The Hog’s Breath Saloon on Front Street in Key West is a packed saloon. Paige, the bartender, served us one of the most refreshing drinks I’ve had, explained how it was made, and served everyone else around us without missing a beat. A shooter is a 3-1/2-ounce drink served in a small shooter cup. The drink should be served immediately; do not let it sit on the ice.
This tastes like a Key Lime Pie in a shooter glass. The Spanish liqueur used in the drink is a pleasant mixture of light orange and vanilla flavors. Substitute Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or Triple Sec if you can’t find Licor 43.

2 teaspoons orange juice
1 ounce half-and-half
Fill a 16-ounce shaker glass with ice and pour in all of the ingredients. Shake well, place strainer over shaker, and immediately pour into a shooter cup. (1 serving)
