shots

Nothing makes you long for the good ol' days like getting trashed out of arcade-game shot glasses. It reminds me of a time when I legally couldn't even appreciate this wonderful product but still thought this was as far video games would ever progress.

1 ½ oz. Orangecello ½ oz. Fireball Whisky 2 oz. Sweet & Sour Splash of Grenadine ½ oz. Bacardi 151 Add all ingredients except the Bacardi 151 into a shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a rocks glass and slowly layer the Bacardi 151 on top and ignite. Blow out the flame and drink the cocktail with a straw as to not get burnt.

There's also BattleShots: Classic Edition, and coming soon, Travel-Size!

They say that necessity is the mother of invention. I did a whole lot of inventing with those blocks as a kid, and even 15 years later, they haven't outlived their usefulness.

In fact, when you think about it, it was probably the capacity for abstract thought and creativity that those very same blocks gave to me as a kid that allowed me to realize their potential as shotglasses. That or I'm just wasted.
