Well, I’ve always been partial to a B-53 (a layered shot): Kahlua, Baileys, and Frangelico (just a little bit on top) A vast improvement over the Grand Marnier-topped B-52 if you ask me. In my mongo-shot-consuming days (7-8 years ago), I also liked the M&M, also known as the Alien Secretion (1/2 Midori, 1/2 Malibu coconut rum). Mmmmmmmmm… Of course, if we’re talking about straight alcohol, we’ve gotta be talking bourbon, as far as I’m concerned. Booker’s is really good, but for serious bourbon-y goodness, try Blantons’ Single Barrel. Not enough o’s in smoooooooth to describe it… ---

Flaming Dr. Pepper In a double sized shot glass: 2 parts Dr. Pepper 2 parts Amoretto 1 part Everclear Light it on fire and drop it into a large mug of beer. When it starts bubbling, chug it. Tastes pretty good, and one is enough to knock me on my butt every time. ---

Jarbaby: You are supposed to wipe your lips before the barman lights the sambuca up, otherwise they will buuurn… Unfortunately the person that I saw have one didn’t wipe their lips beforehand… Frock75: I work in a bar in Melbourne, and we got Maker’s Mark at least a year ago. They must have done well in the past few years to get it this far. It’s good stuff by the way people. ---

The Onion had a great article on this (Attempts Made to Enjoy Sake). \*\* If you spent time in Japan you’d like sake, I spent months drinking nothing else. It’s an acquired taste. But Shochu is not sake. This shochu drink that laid me low is highly distilled sake plus a pickled plum and would be better described as paint remover. I’ll tell you the same thing I told my friend: no, you won’t like it. ---

I’ll try to remember everything I wanted to say. **occ** _I_ like sake. A lot. I’m definitely self-conscious, but certainly not a ‘hipster.’ Don’t drink it cold though, why would you do that? Blecch. Maker’s Mark is excellent. And I’m definitely not a bourbon person, but I like it. Jagermeister is grrrrrreat. **Crispy** , that _Flaming Dr. Pepper_ sounds absolutely wonderful. Gotta try that. My contribution is a variation on the _Boilermaker_. It goes a little like this: The _Irish Car Bomb_. In a 2 oz. shot glass: [li]1 part Bailey’s Irish Cream[/li][li]1 part Jamison’s Irish Whiskey[/li]Drop the shot into a half-pint of Guiness and down it. Whoo-eee. I’ve never been able to finish more than 3 in a row. One of the greatest party drinks I’ve ever experienced. Has anyone else ever had _Potcheen_?? It’s supposedly illegal to sell in Ireland, but they import it here and sell it at BevMo. I think it’s a clear type of whiskey. It burns like hell going down, but some of the best tasting stuff I’ve ever shot. Anyone know more about this, or had it before? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by White Lightning \* > Jagermeister is grrrrrreat. And what’s even better than Jagermeister? Free Jagermeister. Whenever I wear my Rammstein babydoll t-shirt to bars, I invariably get a shot sent to me at some point during the evening. Just a little tip for the ladies. Although, and this is a sort of hijack, I’ve heard from [cue reverb and ominous chord] REAL GERMANS [/ominousness] that Jager isn’t really a ‘hip’ drink in the fatherland. That in fact, shots of jager are reserved for old people who take it to keep them regular. Any truth to this? jarbaby [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favourite-killer-shot/72477.md?page=2)
