Made from 100% agave, 1800® Select Silver is the first 100-proof clear tequila available on the market. Unlike other high proof spirits, 1800® Select Silver sustains its alcohol content while maintaining a clear, crisp taste.


The Jack O’Lantern:

1/3 oz. 1800® Select Silver Tequila
1/3 oz. Baileys Irish Cream
1/3 oz. Kahlua
Cinnamon for sprinkling
Carefully layer this shot with Kahlua on the bottom, Bailey's in the middle and the 1800® Select Silver Tequila on the top. Light the tequila on fire and let burn for 15 seconds. Blow out the flame, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Down it, and it’ll make you grin wider than a Jack O’ Lantern.
