The Story Behind the Freddy Kruger

The Freddy Kruger shot is a devilish concoction that emerged from the shadows of the late-night bar scene, inspired by the infamous horror movie character. Its origins are as mysterious as its namesake, but it's believed to have been crafted in the early 2000s by a bartender with a penchant for the macabre. This shot is designed to thrill and chill, much like the slasher films of the 80s.
