Chaser
(CHAY-sur)
In terms of drinking, a “chaser” refers to a non-alcoholic beverage that is consumed immediately after taking a shot or a sip of a stronger alcoholic drink. The purpose of a chaser is typically to help mitigate the intense or unpleasant taste of the stronger alcoholic beverage and make it more palatable.
For example, if someone takes a shot of a strong liquor like whiskey or tequila, they might follow it with a sip of a chaser, which could be a soft drink, water, juice, or another non-alcoholic beverage. The chaser serves to cleanse the palate and provide a contrasting flavor to the alcohol.
Common chasers include:
Water: A neutral and commonly used chaser to cleanse the palate.
Soda: Carbonated sodas like cola, ginger ale, or club soda can help cut the harshness of certain alcoholic drinks.
Juice: Fruit juices, such as orange juice or cranberry juice, can add sweetness and flavor.
Beer: Some people use beer as a chaser, especially when taking shots.
