History and popularity

The redheaded slut was purportedly invented by Chris Smela, bartender at Captain Tony's Saloon (formerly Sloppy Joe's) in Key West, Florida, which keeps a wall plaque to commemorate the event.

Preparation and variations

A redheaded slut is typically made as either a mixed drink or a shooter. As a mixed drink the ingredients are generally poured over ice in a small cocktail glass, then stirred. As a shooter, the ingredients are mixed with ice in a cocktail shaker then strained and poured into a shot glass.

A relatively uncommon variation is to substitute Chambord for the cranberry juice, and possibly to substitute Canadian Whisky and Southern Comfort for the schnapps and Jaegermeister.
