A bartender has revealed the signature shots she serves which helps her earn as much as $6,000-a-night.

As if doing shots doesn't leave you with enough of a headache the next morning, a 26-year-old bartender who works in South Florida has some tricks up her sleeve when serving Spring Breakers which sees the cash roll in.

Prepare to question why you're still sat at your desk at your 9-5 day job...

By day, Aiyana Callas - a former Nova Southeastern University graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Marine Biology and Research - is often spotted out and about sailing.

By night, during the two months of Spring Break season, the 26-year-old takes on the character of her alter ego 'Hurricane Aiyana' - a bartender with 'a pretty unique set of skillz' and 'a speciality in smackdowns'.

And there's a shot sold by Backyard Fort Lauderdale where she works called the 'hurricane' shot which Callas has added her own special adaptations to - selling shots from $30 to $60.

She tells Axios she sold a staggering 150-200 hurricane shots every night in March while working at the club - that totals a whopping $6,000 plus every night.

But why are Callas' shots so pricey? And what's Callas' unique twists on the drink?

Well, the shot costs from $30 because Callas' shot is no ordinary shot.

When customers buy a $30 'hurricane' shots, they don't just receive a liquid shot, but also a pitcher of water dumped over their heads and a slap to the face for good measure.

Oh and Callas has added her own special ingredient to the shot too, performing acrobatics and acting out the slap as if she's a wrestler.

There's also the 'Tornado' sold for $35 and the 'Four Piece Combo' for $60 too and that's just to name a few which Callas has listed on her Instagram.

The shots and Callas' theatrics while serving them has seen the graduate go viral on social media and she's even set up her own website for people to request her at parties.

However, all is not quite as it seems when it comes to Callas slapping customers in the face.

The bartender explains she is '100 percent a performer at best'.

Callas continues: "I'm really good at making it look like I'm slapping them as hard as I can. But I am absolutely not slapping them as hard as I can."

In many of her videos posted to Instagram, her captions reassure 'no one was harmed in the making' of the content.

"This was a staged act and everyone involved consented to participating," she adds.

She explains Spring Breakers pay her for the shot because it's 'entertaining' and they 'think it's funny,' able to also share videos of the 'experience' online.

Callas resolves: "At the end of the day these are kids and I'm always trying to keep them safe."
