Shot of the Week: Gumball

You remember gumballs, right?

By Jess

You’d go to the grocery store or movie theater as a kid, see those giant contraptions, and just need a gumball.

You’d die without a giant multicolored ball.

But your mom would always tell you no. And you’d hate her for awhile, because like, how could she deny you that amazing jolt of sugar?!

These days, I take a look at those huge gobs of processed chemicals and thank God my mom kept them away from my teeth.

As great as they tasted, I’m sure I’d have dentures by now had I always gotten one when I begged for it. This shot is an homage to those days spent screaming and stomping for a quarter:

Gumball

1 oz Jagermeister

1 oz Blue Curacao

1 splash Red Bull

Pour equal parts Jagermeister and blue Curacao into a cocktail shaker with some ice cubes. Add a medium splash of Red Bull. Shake briefly; strain into a shot glass, and serve…no whining required.

…Just remember, nothing makes you seem like an annoying 3-year-old like getting so drunk you cry over a chipped nail.
