Three Wise Men Shots (Slimming Friendly)
A legendary party starter combining the three giants of the whiskey world: Jim Beam, Jack Daniel's, and Johnnie Walker. This zero-carb, sugar-free shooter packs a punch without the hidden calories of sweet mixers, making it a calculated "Syn" treat for festive celebrations.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger or Measuring Spoon
- Shot Glass (2 oz capacity)
Ingredients
- 15 ml 0.5 oz Jim Beam White Label Bourbon
- 15 ml 0.5 oz Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey
- 15 ml 0.5 oz Johnnie Walker Red Label Scotch Whisky
- 1 cup Ice Cubes for chilling
Instructions
- Chill the Shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with fresh ice cubes. Tip: Using plenty of ice ensures the shot gets ice-cold quickly without diluting too much.
- Add the Wise Men: Measure and pour the Jim Beam, Jack Daniel's, and Johnnie Walker into the shaker.
- Shake Vigorously: Secure the lid and shake hard for 10–15 seconds. You want the shaker tin to frost over on the outside. Why shake? This aerates the whiskey and mellows the alcohol "burn," making it much smoother to drink than a warm shot.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the liquid into a shot glass. Drink immediately while ice cold.
Notes
- Slimming World Syns: This entire shot (45ml total alcohol) is approximately 5 Syns. If you are sharing the mix between two smaller glasses, count it as 2.5 Syns per serving.
- The "Sipping" Option: To make this drink last longer and feel more satisfying, serve it "on the rocks" in a tumbler glass. The melting ice will open up the flavors (vanilla from the bourbon, smoke from the scotch) and help you avoid the "tipping point" of drinking too fast.
Variations:
Three Wise Men Go Hunting: Add 15ml of Wild Turkey (Adds approx. 1.5 Syns). Three Wise Men Visit Mexico: Add 15ml of Tequila (Adds approx. 1.5 Syns). Flavor Profile: Expect a sweet caramel start from the Jim and Jack, followed by a smoky, fiery finish from the Johnnie Walker.Nutrition
