Flügel party shot

Flügel is a popular alcoholic party shot that originated in the Netherlands in 1996. It is primarily a vodka-based liqueur with a distinctive red color and a sweet fruit flavor, often associated with the 'après-ski' and nightlife culture across Europe.

The brand was created by the Dutch company Flügel Nederland B.V. and is famous for its ritualistic consumption: tapping the bottle on the bar, placing the cap on one's nose, and drinking the shot hands-free. Today, it remains under the ownership of the FLS Company, which manages a portfolio of various party-themed spirits and drinks from its headquarters in the Netherlands. Production is concentrated in the Netherlands to ensure consistency in its unique recipe.
