Gorilla Fart Shots turn heads the moment we mention their name. We love how they’re both bold and a little mischievous perfect for anyone who craves an adventurous twist at parties.
This shot is rumored to have originated in a late-night bar scene where bartenders tested edgy blends. We can’t trace its exact roots but we know it has become a party favorite thanks to its strong flavor and unforgettable name. It’s quick to make it packs a punch and it always starts a lively conversation.
Ingredients
- 1/2 ounce of Wild Turkey Bourbon
- 1/2 ounce of 151-proof rum
We gather these two liquors to create a bold and adventurous Gorilla Fart Shot. We measure each amount separately to ensure proper balance. We pour the whiskey first to form the base layer. Then we slowly add the overproof rum on top to maintain that layered effect. Some of us prefer a single swift pour for a fully blended shot.
Below is a quick overview of the liquors we use:
| Ingredient | Approx ABV |
|---|---|
| Wild Turkey Bourbon | 50.5% |
| 151-proof rum | 75.5% |
The high-proof content creates a strong aroma and a powerful taste. We can serve this shot as is or top it with a few drops of plain soda to slightly soften the boozy flair.
Tools & Equipment
We use a few basic bar essentials to craft our Gorilla Fart Shots:
- Shot Glasses
We rely on sturdy shot glasses to showcase the layered effect. A heavy-bottom glass offers stability for smooth pouring.
- Jigger or Measuring Cup
We measure exactly ½ ounce of Wild Turkey Bourbon and ½ ounce of 151-proof rum for consistent flavor. A precise jigger ensures each layer maintains our preferred ratio.
- Bar Spoon
We layer the rum on top of the bourbon with a bar spoon. This method keeps the liquors separate for the fun visual effect.
We keep our tools within reach so we can measure and pour with confidence. We avoid spills by selecting stable glassware and accurate measuring tools. We find that a bar spoon is the secret to achieving clean layers without splashing the rum.

Despite the unusual name, they’re popular at gatherings for sparking conversation and adding a fun twist to festivities. Gorilla Fart Shots are easy to make, quick to serve, and sure to leave a memorable impression on anyone brave enough to try them.
Why are they called Gorilla Fart Shots?

The phrase “Gorilla Fart” hints at the shot’s strong flavors and robust aroma. People often enjoy referencing the name while toasting, making it a lively conversation starter. Though it might sound odd, the name contributes to the drink’s adventurous vibe and helps it stand out from more ordinary party shots.
What ingredients are needed?
To create Gorilla Fart Shots, you need 1/2 ounce of Wild Turkey Bourbon and 1/2 ounce of 151-proof rum. Bourbon forms the base, while the rum is layered on top using a bar spoon. Some people add a few drops of soda for a milder finish, but traditional recipes skip it to maintain boldness. These two liquors deliver a potent punch and a strong aroma, so be prepared for a fiery sip. Always measure carefully to achieve the perfect balance in this standout shot.
What tools do I need to make them?
You’ll want sturdy shot glasses, a jigger or measuring cup for precise liquor amounts, and a bar spoon for layering. A good shot glass showcases the layered look, while the jigger prevents over-pouring. The bar spoon helps you drizzle the rum gently over the bourbon without mixing them together. Having these tools on hand avoids spills and ensures a clean, impressive presentation. Preparing your station in advance also speeds up the process, letting you serve multiple shots smoothly.
How do I layer the liquors?
First, fill the shot glass with 1/2 ounce of bourbon. Then, use a bar spoon to slowly pour 1/2 ounce of 151-proof rum over the back of the spoon. This step prevents the liquids from blending, creating a visible separation. Keep the motion slow and steady to maintain the layered effect. Immediately serve your Gorilla Fart Shot for the best visual impact and strongest taste. Mastering the layering technique takes a little practice, but it’s worth the effort to wow your guests.
Any serving tips for Gorilla Fart Shots?
Serve them right after layering to preserve the distinct two-tone look. Chilled shot glasses can make the first sip more refreshing, especially given the shot’s robust flavors. Use napkins or coasters to manage spills, since high-proof liquors can splash easily. For larger gatherings, consider prepping multiple glasses ahead of time on a tray. Carefully measure each ingredient to release a consistent round of shots. Encourage everyone to raise their glasses together for an energizing toast, and enjoy the lively buzz these shots inspire.
