Little did they know this lesser known cake that fell out of favor in the 1970's due to the Red No. 2 food dye scare, would come back with a vengeance -- making its way into our favorite recipes, and subsequently, into our hearts.
To all of the naysayers, I present to you a red velvet cocktail shot. Yes, the cake we both know and love has now made its way into liquid form, to be consumed and enjoyed in 1oz doses. I think its safe to say that once a drink has been named after something, that it is officially mainstream.
I'm not sure if a drink can possibly taste like red velvet, but its worth a shot (pun intended). You can find the recipe here.
Oh, and just for good measure I think the shot should be enjoyed in one of these.
