Shot of the Week: Silver Bullet

Jess - NYU — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 22:38:38 +0000

Whenever I think about shots, I always think of something tasty, girly, and fun to swallow in a giant gulp. Drinking should be a social and enjoyable experience, and I usually equate taking swigs of hard liquor with being a sad, lonely drunk who may or may not be awaiting a liver transplant.

That being said, there’s always something impressive about a girl who can deal with heavy duty alcohol. Taking a ‘manly’ shot is a surefire way to impress whoever you happen to want to impress, and helps you feel like a badass—at least until it hits your throat and burns a thousand fires.

In honor of tough girls everywhere, this week’s shot is full of grit and bite, and definitely not for the faint of heart.

Silver Bullet

½ oz. vodka

½ oz scotch

Poor good quality vodka in your shot glass, top it off with a good quality scotch (skimping on cheap liquor will only make this a more difficult experience), give everyone your best tough-chick stance, yell “I’m not afraid of pain!!” and throw it down the hatch.

…just remember, nothing says “I can’t handle my liquor” like getting so wasted start dancing to music only you can hear.

Shot of the Week: The Hollywood

When I think of Hollywood, a few things come to mind: drugs, fashion, fake boobs, and fruity drinks.

Hollywood has always struck me as a place where people, regardless of gender, drink things with lots of liquor and sugar.

The Tinseltown of old may have enjoyed their whiskey and scotch on the rocks, but this generation is all about make-up, highlights, and sour mix.

Aiding my hypothesis are the ingredients for this common shot:

The Hollywood

1 part vodka

1 part peach schnapps

1 part chambord

1 part pineapple juice

Layer your shot glass with the liquids in order (beginning with vodka, ending with pineapple juice), toast to your millions, and drink up.

…just remember to be responsible. If too much partying can make Lindsay Lohan look bad, just imagine what it can do to you.
