One part JFK, three parts John Connally, watered down by the Warren Commission. Shake well, and forget everything that happened yesterday. ---

Well, it’s not a hot, but… **A Flaming Homer!** (I think we all know how to make that little drink) ---

Good as a shot or on the rocks - The Firehammer 2 Parts Vodka 1 Part Triple Sec 1 Part Amaretto splash of lemon optional (but tasty) A single shot won’t put you down, but they’re tasty enough to keep you ordering more…and more…and more… (yay post #1, hi all!) ---

Killer? I tend to drink hard liquor and usually am not laid low by anything, but the last time I got sick was drinking umeshu, a sort of distilled sake with a pickled plum in it. I saw some being served in a sushi bar, it looked good so I ordered one. It was really bad. My friend decided she wanted one, I said just take a sip out of mine to see if you really want one, but she wanted one of her own. It was really bad too. She decided she didn’t like it and gave it to me. I drank them both. That was extra bad. ---

I used to get the strangest looks when I’d drink my tequila like that. People never understood that I actually liked the flavour of it. MmmmMMmmMMM like candy, that stuff is. 😃 I miss drinking sometimes. ---

Ach mein gott! Is this for real? My concurrent love of liquor and fire can only be sated by participating in a shot of this magnitude! jarbaby ---

The Onion had a great article on this (Attempts Made to Enjoy Sake). ---

I kinda like sake, a little, when it’s warmed up and all, but usually only have it once or twice a year at a Japanese restaurant. I certainly wouldn’t drink it all the time. I had it cold once, never again, blech! My favorite shot… Screaming Nazi: 1/2 Yeagermeister 1/2 Rumplemintz nice and chilled, this one really knocks me on my ass! Of course there is also: Blackhaus Tequila, strange things happen when I drink tequila 😉 Bacardi Limon (with lemon and sugar) God there are so many shots and so little time… ---

Anyway, I’m a Jagermeister fan. Since it’s the only shot I do anymore, my stomache refuses any other straight alchohol. I get the spinnies otherwise. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Xixox \* > \*\*…(yay post #1, hi all!) \*\* Welcome aboard(s) **Xixox**! As for me, a smokey martini will do just fine, or when there’s serious drinking to be done, a Kamikaze. For straight shots, a fine scotch is always nice, but I’m currently trying to edumacate myself about Bourbon. ---

> [@](#): > > - > > For straight shots, a fine scotch is always nice, but I’m currently trying to edumacate myself about Bourbon. \*\* Try Maker’s Mark. It’s a Kentucky Bourbon. IMHO the best Bourbon, period. If I remember correctly, it was only sold in Kentuckey until a few years ago. ---

Evil Shot- always ends the shot having contest. Prarie Fire! 151 and Tabasco sauce, or Habanero sauce. Mix, and light on fire. It has been known to come right back up, so don’t do this at home. For bourbon, I prefer Bakers, Knob Creek, or Booker Noe to Makers Mark. ---

Stroh, straight-up. Ask **Dyno** or anyone else that was at _Spiffled II_. [Stroh](http://www.strohrum.com/) is an Austrian spiced rum that tastes like a dream and hits like a hammer. It’s 80% (160 proof, y’all!) but is the smoothest rum I’ve ever had. ---
