What ever happened to a shot of Tequila and a beer?

The Most Vile Cocktail Shooters Ever - FoxNews.com

Some of these drinks could peel paint!


The Prairie Oyster – Another shooter that usually signals a quick end to a night, the Prairie Oyster mixes up bourbon, a raw egg and Tabasco. In the hands of a master mixologist this combination can actually become something delicious. As presented, however, with a hefty dose of hot sauce crushing any nuance and sweetness from the bourbon, and the viscous egg yolk sliding through the teeth and down the drinker's gullet to sit like a lead weight in the stomach, just begging to come back up, it crushes what little hope there was left of a nausea free evening.

I remember a bar in college serving one called a Border Run. It was tequila and pickle juice, and they'd microwave it for a couple of seconds. It was the ultimate "make your buddy puke shot" on 21st b-days.

Any drink with Jagermeister in it usually results into "the next day will likely be one of the worst of your life."

Two OUNCES of Worcestershire sauce?

No doubt that Liquid Steak drink is vile!

Gee, my friends and I just dared each other to drink straight everclear or 151 on our 21st's...no mixing required, plenty of regurgitation to go around.

You'd have to pay me to try and suck one of those things down these days.

My best friend's wife is a bartender. He has pretty much an entire bar set up at his house; they love to entertain. I remember (barely) a party there one night. It was late. We were loaded. We started experimenting with different concoctions and came up with one particularly awful drink we dubbed "The Trinity Test".

In a tumbler, combine the following:
1 shot bourbon
1 shot tequila
1 shot Bacardi 151

Drink as a triple shot.

Makes my throat burn just thinking about it. Oddly, it didn't taste too bad, but try it at your own risk!

In cheesehead land, most bloddy mary's are followed by a beer "chaser", a small 4-6 oz glass. Not sure if this is the norm elsewhere.

I usually follow it with a 12-16 oz chaser. Feels good for a long while.

I used to work as a bartender, and had something like this to serve brave souls.

In a tumbler:
1 shot Bacardi 151
1 shot dry gin
1 shot tequila
Splash of tabasco

Down the hatch.

Another fun this was the 'fire on the prairy (sp?) shooter. It's like a tequila shot but slightly more challenging:
1. Instead of salt, lick tabasco.
2. shot of tequila
3. Instead of biting a lime, bite a jalapeno pepper.
4. Fear for your bowels.

I must try this.
I'm a big fan of tequila shots, and spicy food.

Thanks!

On a related note, do people still use the expression "blow chunks" to refer to vomiting? How about "sell the buick"? That's what we said when I was in college - yes it's been a while - but I don't think I've heard those lately.

Yes to the first, and I haven't heard the latter.

Blow chunks is still used I think. Buick what? We used to say "oats" or "showtime" in high school. I think it's regional.

Thank god nothing has happened to beer or tequila despite the foul creations mentioned in the article. That said... why is fox news being viewed? No! Bad fox news link. The most vile concoction of all.

That actually sounds pretty good.
I do a Margaritatini using hot sauce to moisten the rim dipped in salt the drink:
1 shot tequila
1 shot triple sec
3 shots margarita mix mixed in a shaker with ice
garnished with a pickled jalapeno & jalapeno stuffed olive
I also do a variation with tequila & V8 juice.

Bar I used to go to with my ex had a drink called an E-ticket, that would mess one up quite nice. Before that I'd have an Adios, Mother****** if I wanted to get inebriated real quick. Last night at the gig it was just a glass of whisky on the rocks chased with some Guiness. I like to keep my drinks simple these days.

Here you go...

Fill a large glass with crushed ice. Pour in room temp bud, forming a decent head. Set in the fridge and let the head go away, then make up the difference with Richard's Wild Irish Rose in the flavor of your choice. Use a straw to drink it from the bottom.

Another good one is Sunkist and Mist. Take a 2 liter bottle of Sunkist and dump out enough to allow a quart of Canadian Mist to be added. After a few batches of this one weekend, a friend and I talked his mom into giving us offset mohawks. With both facing front and me on the left, they formed a stubby little V.

As for tequila and beer. The last year I drank, my typical friday night consisted of around 30 beers and a quart of the cheapest tequila available.

Bar I went to in college used to let people off their tab if they drank "the mat", which is the collection of all the over-pour on the little rubber mat where the bartender makes the drinks. They'd funnel it into a glass and if you held it down, your night was free. Most people were too horrified to try it, but really it was mostly coca-cola and beer. Wasn't that bad...

Blow chunks is still used frequently. My favorite is "riding a YAK NAMED RALPH"
