Things people like out here. Flavored Shots.

Flavored Shots. People can NOT get enough of them flavored shots! Its crazy! I saw this first at my short-lived bartending job at a Basque restaurant (owner's meth-head son was not the best dude to work for. He sucks.) This is where I learned about Chili Bombs - a shot composed of Crown Royal and Red bull - as well as Washington Apples (Crown Royal, sour apple pucker, cranberry juice and sprite.) Now the Washington Apples I experienced firsthand because whenever I would get off work at 5 pm, the regulars loved buying me drinks. One dude John loved his Washington Apple shots. One night we sat there and had about 4 while he regaled me with stories about his days as a coke dealer (yikes!) and how he lived with the dude from Built To Spill (who live down the street from me) and the drummer died after getting into John's prescribed pain medications. Those stupid apple shots (that really do taste like a delicious apple) gave me a killer headache. Pretty sure it was that sour pucker. Yuck. Well now working as a cocktail waitress at the Big Easy, I see even more shots. Even though it is served as a full drink I must mention the AMF, standing for Adios Mother Fu$ker, a long island iced tea with blue curacao added! Yum Yum. People love jager bombs, chili bombs, kamikazis, jolly ranchers, howdy doodys, alabama slammers, slippery nipples, apple pies, fu*k the bartenders, red-headed sluts, and so on and so forth. I went out for some drinks the other night with my friend Kaylie and found myself drinking some red shot that tasted like it might have been a jolly rancher, and two blue shots, which were apparently two different blue shots. whoa. Goodbye yesterday's hangover. What kind of shots will tomorrow bring?
