Yummmm!

Gone are the days of strolling into that lonely saloon through the double swinging doors like the cowboy you are. The clack of your boots on the hardwood floor and the cling of your spurs right behind you with every step you take toward the long bar where the old grizzled bartender with a killer moustache stands with a no-name bottle of whiskey. No words are spoken as you stare down the bar-keep. He pulls a dirty shot glass from under the bar and pours a single shot, walk away and leaves the bottle... I really must stop watching Old Westerns before bed. (side note: "Tombstone" is the best western of all time!) Now in order to order a shot you have to have an entirely new vernacular. There are more adjectives and pronouns even verbs to the names of some of these drinks.

As you may have read in past postings I am not a huge fan of guys ordering anything more than one word (Jack, Jim, Jonny, etc.) however like the old song says "the times they are a changing." So I guess if you can't beat them, join them. One of my favorite things to do when it comes to shot time is make concoctions that taste like existing treats. The reaction is always the same for someone that has never tried them. They can't believe that it tastes like the existing treat. All the flavor of the treat with half open the calories and sealed with a nice little buzz. So here is a small group of shots that taste like existing no-alcoholic treats. Enjoy!
