Shot of the Week: Snickers Bar

snickers cocktailOh, Snickers! I love you.

You have everything that was ever good stuffed together and covered in chocolate. You are my favorite candy bar. You are even better frozen.

But alas, you hate me. You do! Why? Because of how many calories are in you. Because eating you will give me all the fat I need in one day.

And yet, you tempt me so.

What’s a girl to do? Make a shot that’s the closet thing to your fat-abulous goodness, that’s what.

Snickers Bar

• 1/3 Frangelico

Shot of the Week: Chocolate Cake

chocolate cakeI’m always in the mood for chocolate cake, but unfortunately, chocolate cake is not always in the mood for my waist. In fact, my waist fights with chocolate cake quite a lot – and mostly loses.

So when I found out about this yummy shot, you better believe I took notice. Getting tipsy and ingesting something that resembles my biggest enemy / biggest love? Fantastic.

Chocolate Cake Shot

¾ oz Vodka

¼ oz Frangelico hazelnut liqueur

1 thin lime slice

A pinch of powdered sugar

Cover your lime slice with powdered sugar. Pour the vodka and Frangelico into a shot glass, Vodka first. Bite the lime with the sugar on it, keep the juice in your mouth, and throw back the shot.

…And remember, always drink responsibly. Nothing says “please don’t hire me, future employers!” like a DUI.
