My craziest shot, which I have done on many many ocassions is a “Hairy Buffalo”. The nice thing is this shot is usually free. Basically you ask the bartender to pour the contents of the bar mat (the little rubber mat where that they pour their drinks on) into a shot glass.
My craziest drink, which I had also had many, many times was called a “Ball Breaker”. My buddy was a head bartender at the club I used to frequent. He made the drink up. It’s a jigger and a half of Bacardi 151, a jigger and a half of Bacardi white, ice and coke. In a single glass. So you can imagine, there wasn’t too much room for ice!
I haven’t been to a bar for a drink since before shooters were invented. But the weirdest drink I ever had was a Purple Jesus. That’s grain alcohol and grape Kool-Aid.
It’s called that because a) it’s purple, and b) after you get the first swallow down, the first thing you say is:
JESUS!!!
And, of course, if you have enough of them, you’ll be talking to him later on the big white telephone.
The craziest drink I ever had was a flaming dr. pepper. ( actually, I have had several, so that should be the craziest drink I continue to imbide. )
Once I lit my thumb on fire, and being the true drinker I am, I downed the drink before putting my thumb out.
When I was 19ish (in a time and place where 18 was the legal drinking age), I used to show off by having the bartender pour me a double-shot of Everclear and then I’d sip it down nonchalantly, straight up. I’d finish up about the same time my companions were finishing their first beer and I’d have another when they’d order their second beer.
I musta gotten my own bloodstream up to around 40 proof on some nights.
That would be the 1-liter cocktail, which was a mix of just about every hard alcohol they had in the house. 1500yen (about US$13 at the time), served in a graduated cylinder. Tasted pretty foul.
Cerowyn took photos of me drinking it, and has posted links to them here on a few occasions.
I don’t drink much hard alcohol, so when I do have shots it is usually pretty tame. However, a good friend had probably the most rancid drink I have heard of while in Ireland for a wedding. It is called a Beefeater and is 3/4 of a shot of Tequilla that is topped off with Worcestershire Sauce.
Cement Mixer. Bailey’s and Roses lime juice. The lime juice curdles the baileys-or something to that affect- and it feels like you are trying to suck down cottage cheese. Very disgusting, not very intoxicating, but VERY entertaining…
I asked someone to buy me some vodka and he came back with gin. The only thing I had to mix it with was Mountain Dew. Thus was born the Insect Repellent.
On another occasion, my friend and I decided to try and perfect a recipe for a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. You take a slush made of ice and pineapple juice then mix in every alcohol you have present in varying amounts. If you achieve the right mixture you have a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, if you don’t you have a Detroit River.
Here’s what you do with someone who doesn’t know this. Tell them to take down a shot of Bailey’s and hold it in their mouth, which they should follow immediately with the lime or lemon juice and watch their reaction as it brews in their mouth.
I once downed something similer called “Hirn” (brain). It was Bailey’s and something red, so it looked like a little brain floating in blood. This too was very disgusting and slightly more intoxicating than the Cement Mixer as the red stuff - whatever it was - contained alcohol as well.
The guy that served this called it a “Satan’s Piss.” A shot of Bicardi 151 rum topped with a few dashes of tobasco sauce. So vile I just had to have a second one.
That sounds like a Brain Haemorrage:
Ingredients:
1 oz. Kahlúa
1 oz. Peach Schnapps
1 oz. Bailey’s Irish Cream
several drops of Grenadine
Mixing instructions:
Layer Kahlua, Peach Schnapps and Bailey’s Irish Cream into old fashioned glass.
Add several drops of grenadine.
Do not stir.
Some recipies call for ice, all are equally horrible (IMHO)
As with other poster, Bailey’s Irish Cream is the essential element of “most disgusting drink” combos. Mine arose through a drinking game in a Cardiff pub which involved the loser each round having to buy a drink and pour it into the same pint glass - the final round loser didn’t have to pay but had to drink whatever the glass contained.
The game was discontinued when we discovered the following combination plus a few spirits to up the alcohol content but otherwise irrespective of which extra drinks were added, always made you retch…
Baileys Irish Cream
Double Shot of Creme de Menthe
Tomato Juice
Ricard
IIRC it had the appearance of pickled quail eggs floating in a - no I’m sorry the memories are too terrible…
I guess it’s the one, but i will NOT drink this horrible drink ever again…
Another quite disgusting yet crazy drink I once had consisted of the horribly sweet juice of a can of pears and some (really cheap) whiskey. I was fairly drunk before I tried this, but not nearly drunk enough to like it.
On my 21st Bday someone got me a “Three Wisemen” shot. It contained Jack Daniels, Jose Cuervo, and Jim Beam. Needless to say, I threw up shortly after.
It is the alcoholic contents of a long island ice tea reduced to a shot (a very large shot).
It is done so people can shot, and still get around some of my states very bizarre liqour laws (since you are ‘technically’ just having a Long Island Ice Tea).
It is very potent. VERY. (Since it gets rid of all the crap that is in a Long Island Ice Tea like the coke and water and lemon) and one will send you giggly. I had 3 in one evening, and in the process (apart from getting very drunk - I am a chatty drunk to boot), I became a legend at the bar.
I should have mentioned this shooter in the OP, even though I have never had it (I was too chicken shit!).
It was called “The Afterburner”. Basically the person doing the shot gets down on their knees and tilts their head back. AN assistant pours Sambuca into their open mouth until their whole mouth is full. While the shootee still has their mouth open, the assistant lights the buca on fire in their mouth (apprantly it doesn’t burn you, it just feels warm). Next the assistant takes a pinch of cinamon and slowly lets it loose over the shootee’s mouth. The blue flame makes the cinamon glow. It totally looks like an afterburner! Very cool!
And yea, I love doing “Cement Mixers” as well, it’s a vey easy shot to do (not too strong) and tastes pretty good (hmmm green jello!).
