The Angel Shot is currently trending on TikTok, but not because of a new cocktail trend. It's not even a drink. The Angel Shot is used as a sign of help to alert waiters to an unsafe situation. So what is an angel shot? First of all, it's not a shot at all, it's a code. A person may say that they want to order a clean angel shot, which means that the waiter will help them get to their car.
If a person asks to be shot like an angel on the rocks, it means that the bartender will call a taxi or an Uber. If a person asks for a shot with lemon, the bartender will call the police. An angel shot is not a drink, but a discreet way for bar customers to indicate to the waiter that they need help.
