Have you invented any yourself? Mine would have to be Chartreuse. Only when you’re already drunk though, because it tastes like shit. An interesting one that I’ve seen at a nightclub is one where the barman pours black sambuca straight into someone’s mouth, then lights it, and the person drinking it closes their mouth and swallows. I might have to try that one day… (After a few chatreuses) ---

I’m always partial to a double 151 ---

I suspect more people would be inclined to read the thread if the subject line didn’t seem to be asking about one’s favorite killer’s method of shoting people…or am I the only one who thought this was going to be about murderers? ---

A Hammer, half and half of white crème de menthe and 94 % alcohol. So strong, you don’t taste it in your mouth, you taste it in your stomach. And [Mats K\*\*, the way I like to dring chartreuse is mixed with lemonade, it’s called Swamp Water, best served in a jar. ---

The MindEraser. A rocks glass with 1/3 vodka, 1/3 kahlua and 1/3 soda water. Stick a straw in it and slam it down through the straw. ---

I got pregnant from Tequila. I don’t drink it anymore. I don’t often drink shots, but I like a China White once in a blue moon. ---

It’s not a shot, but I invented it. **Studi’s Stupendous Semen Sip** One part Canadian whisky One part gin One part white rum Five parts vodka Five parts milk Don’t mix the milk in. The milk was swirl around and stay somewhat suspended, making the drink look like ejaculate. It tastes like my rear end.

They were called French Martinis, but I’m not sure what was in them. I don’t know if a French Martini actually qualifies as a shot, but we were all fired up, don’t you know, and doing them like shots anyhow. I think it was vodka and Chambord cordial and maybe something else, no rocks. Tasty, and whatta kick! ---

Gotta go with Lemon Drop Shots, myself. Just like tequila shots, but with Vodka instead of tequila, and sugar instead of salt… Ooh yeah baby!!! 😉 ---

I prefer straight tequila, but I once had a drink at a local bar called a Gorilla Fart: a shot of Bacardi 151 with a Wild Turkey chaser. A few of those and you’ll be making passes at the jukebox. ---

Hmmm, the Tequila thing, I’ll be a wuss and have a Margherita. It isn’t really a shot, but I’ll treat it as such if I am rich/drunk. Preference goes to Laphroaigh (Scotch, not able to check up on spelling, as all mine has been drunk :(). Lemone drops thing, I’m sorry to say, sounds thouroughly disgusting. ---

I’ve never gotten smashed on it, but it was almost a killer. Burnt Bananas. I don’t know exactly everything in it. I am pretty sure it had Schnapps, and it had 151 in it. After mixing it, the bartender would set it on fire, let it burn and pour it over ice. (Yes, it does hurt going down if you don’t know the ice is in there. Don’t ask.) Well, the bartenders were getting pretty careless in how they made it. They almost burned the bar down a couple of times before the owner made them quit setting them on fire.Problem is it tasted like crap if you didn’t light it up. The same bar also made a shot for groups. I have no idea what as in it. They would serve it in a bowl and bring straws for everyone at the table. You slammed it as a group, and then you could eat the gummy sharks in the bottom. It was callled a Sharkbowl. ---

I must concur with **Astroboy14** on this. Nothing goes down as smooth as tequila while completely turning your brain inside out. Herradura, anyone? ---

Tasty, and whatta kick! \*\* French Martinis are by far the favorite shot for my girls and I . They contain Grand Marnier, Chambord (we prefer cheap black raspberry) and sour mix. A few of those and you too could be dancing on the bar and making asses out of yourself like we do every Friday and Saturday!
