darin3 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Food and Beverage Forum, eh? Well, everyone knows about my favorite food staple: pizza. So no need to contribute there. Beverage? Well you metros have wine covered, so I thought I'd start off a tangent us "other guys" could follow and contribute to. SHOTS! I went to - and somehow graduated from - one of the premier "party schools" in our great nation, UC Santa Barbara. While there, let's just say I did my share of drinking (still do, from time to time). I frequented a bar that had Dollar Drink Night, and while there, discovered many incredibly tasty - and some downright lethal - shots. After college, I went on to exploring Orange County, California's bar/club scene, and got to know even more twists on shot-making. I moved up to the Bay Area several years ago, and the library of shots grew in my head after hanging out at a dive bar several nights a week. So much so that I was hired as a bartender there, where I showed off my shot-making prowess. I've since moved back to Orange County, and discovered yet another dive bar where the shots fly like bullets (The Huddle, for those of you that haven't heard). So I have a few to discuss... feel free to add commentary, your own recipes, etc. Let 'em rip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) Red Death Learned this one while at UCSB. This bartender at Dollar Drink Night at world-famous Alex's Bar and Cantina claimed to have accidentally created it while bartending drunk one night. Customer came up to him asking for a Kamikaze and an Alabama Slammer. So he proceeded to make the drinks, but forgot to pour out the Kami before making the Slammer in the same tumbler. The result was a double-shot, obviously, of what he dubbed "Red Death". He ended up admitting his error, and splitting the double shot with the customer, who claimed it tasted awesome - like Hawaiian Punch. Sure enough, it does. So essentially, for those seasoned bartenders/drink mixers out there, this should be easy: make a Kamikaze on top of an Alabama Slammer. 1/2 ounce Southern Comfort 1/2 ounce triple sec - this is in a Kami too, just go with 1/2 ounce total 1/2 ounce sloe gin 1/2 ounce Amaretto splash or 2 of orange juice 1/2 ounce vodka - the Kami portion 1/2 ounce lime juice - Kami Mix all in tumbler with ice and serve. It literally tastes like Hawaiian Punch. Can be served on ice as a drink or as a double shot, or just a single shot. It packs a punch. Beware.

darin3 Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Chocolate Cake Don't let the foo-foo-ness of these fool you. These are quality shots that dudes and girlies can share and enjoy alike. This one was learned up in the Bay Area. Good stuff, especially for those that like Vodka. 3/4 ounce Vodka (premium is better) 1/4 ounce Frangelico liqueur 1 slice lemon Powdered or regular sugar Pour small amount of Frangelico in bottom of shot glass, top with the vodka. You can coat the rim of the shot glass with lemon and sprinkle the sugar on the rim, or what I prefer, coat the lemon with sugar and suck the sugary lemon after taking the shot. This one is a panty-remover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Ha! A bunch of years ago, I was at Boston's Bull and Finch (I think that;s right) , which is the pub that purportedly was the inspiration for the CHEERS! sitcom, a generally accepted and well known monicker for the place in Boston. As a result, it is no longer the neighborhood place it once was, but more of a tourist trap. The night I was there, groups of people would yell "Norm!" whenever a hefty customer walked in. So, in keeping with the spirit of the place, I called the bartender "Sammy". This guy got livid. It was just in fun, but he didn't see any humor in it at all. So, I let it go without further comment. Later, the friend I'm with and I ask for a shot of scotch. "Sammy" says they don't have shot glasses, and he's very happy to inform us of this fact. He goes on to say, "The only way to get a shot glass here is to buy one.", from this hokey souvineer stand they have. Now, I'm pissed. I go to this stand, and buy 8 shot glasses. Returning to the bar, I recruit 6 more people, and order 8 ***s. I'm sure the filter will change the name of the shot... think oral sex. Having been an ex-bartender, I know these things are a royal PITA to clean. The "recipe" is voldka, Kaluha and Bailey's, all layered, topped off and sealed with whipped cream. You have to get your mouth around the whole top of the shot glass, and suck, or wear it. As a group, we end up ordering about 6 rounds. Sammy was NOT happy. On the third round, I complained that the glasses weren't clean, and said I'd like to talk to the manager. "Sammy" rewashed them. No wonder, as the shot glasses cost like 5 bucks a pop, and the shots were about the same. It was expensive, but a whole boatload of fun, as all involved knew what the whole story was. I left a $1 tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 Bomb Pop Ahhh, how we all miss those hot summer days. With winter firmly gripping our poor, helpless bodies, we long for hot dogs, lemonade, apple pie and BOMB POPS! Well don't fret, you can still have a bomb pop, in liquid and alcoholic form. This one's popular at my favorite local dive, THE HUDDLE. I implore you all to visit my great hometown and chug down Pabst on draft, bomb pops and Jagr bombs! 1/2 ounce Blue Curacao 1/2 ounce Chambord (or equivalent raspberry liqueur) 1/2 ounce Absolut Citron (or equivalent lemon vodka) 1/2 Sweet & Sour Mix Mix s & s and vodka over ice in tumbler. Pour into double-shot glass. Layer the Blue Curacao first, then the Chambord (use back end of spoon to control the pour of Chambord). Perfect red, white and blue... tastes like a bomb pop, looks like a bomb pop, must be a bomb pop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Dead Nazi 1/2 Jager, 1/2 Rumpie, surprisingly good. Some of your more PC establishments may call this an "Oil Slick"; balderdash, I say - I can't imagine anything more satisfying than a dead Nazi.

Clubfoothead Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Shot of Jagermeister Chase with Budweiser About as ritzy as I get outside of a Crown and Coke. Although, at this time of year, I'll drink coffee with Bailey's and indulge in one or two apple martinis my wife makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
