An angel shot is an order for drinks placed by a customer to inform a waiter that they are in an unsafe situation and that they need help. They are one of the many methods used by waiters to improve customer safety. 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 into their car.
If a person asks for an angel's throw on the rocks, it means that the waiter will call a taxi or Uber. If a person asks for a shot with lemon, the bartender will call the police. We recently told you the story of a waiter who was hailed as a hero after his quick actions saved a woman from a “scoundrel” at the bar. If you ask for an angel shot, perfect, “your waiter will accompany you to your vehicle; if you ask for an angel shot on ice”, your waiter will call an Uber or Lyft; if you order an angel shot with lime “, your waiter will call the police.
Although, as the Spears video points out, the concept of angel shooting is becoming increasingly popular in bars, it's important to keep in mind that not all bars and waiters are aware of this practice.
