While buying shots is a surefire way to hurry along that much needed loss of inhibition, at around $10 a pop (and just 2 seconds of taste), finding pure liquor that won’t leave you squirming can prove difficult. Many a drink-guzzler have long accepted that shots are not a taste sensation, but rather a dying liver sensation. Sure, it gets the job done, but tantalising lip-licking goodness is never to be left to tequila.
It’s time to bring an end to the avoidance of the dreaded shot and introduce a list of liqueur that will make the smallest of dreaded shot glasses a walk in the alcohol-ridden park.
The Jam Donut
A sweet, full bodied combination of milky Bailey’s Irish Cream, raspberry liquor (that’s the jam), and sugar syrup. If you thought the steaming hot jam donuts of yesteryear were long forgotten, think again.
The Wet Pussy
A fruit filled, purple treat that most girls love to hear you order. Punchy Peach Schnapps meets tart cranberry juice. You’ll forget the vodka was even added.
The Lemon Drop
If you’d been able to sell these at your lemon stand all those years ago, the title of ‘world’s most successful child entrepreneur’ just may have been yours. Among lemon juice and vodka, bobs a fast dissolving sugar cube. Drink quick or forever hold your peace.
The Slippery Nipple
With a title like this, the slippery nipple is, you guessed it, milky. Bailey’s Irish Cream is set off with equal quantities of butterscotch schnapps to warm the belly. This drink is one to make even the milkiest of kids corrupt.
The Cough Syrup
The best part about having a cold was always the cough syrup. Now you can own your very own slice of stay-at-home-sickness from the comfort of the bar. Combining Blue Curacao with green crème de menthe and vodka creates an uncanny duplicate of that great-to-be-sick treat. Drink and cough.
