Alcoholic Pinata

Alright, so I'm having a party and I got the idea to have a pinata with some type of alcohol inside it, so that when it gets busted open it goes everywhere and drunks scramble for it.

Originally I was going to use those mini cans of beer they have, but then thought they would be "all shook up" when they came out and some might burst when they hit the ground. I was thinking I could bubble wrap each can for a solution, they would still be shook up though.

Then I thought about putting jello shots in those lil plastic containers used for ketchup and condiments because they have a lid and jello wouldn't get shook up or burst or anything. It would be awfully messy if it did though.

So now I come to TB...what should I put in my pinata?
 
Minibottles of liquor. You know, the 1-1/2oz bottles that are $1.50 each at the party store.
Just make sure the mini bottles are the ones made out of plastic -- otherwise, you would have drunks scrambing over broken glass. :eek:

Plastic mini bottles should work fine. I used to put them in my pocket while skiing, and they've survived a number of pretty tough impacts with no leakage. Plus, having a variety different things to scramble for (different kinds of liquor) would make it a lot more fun. Then people could trade with each other after the scramble was over. Jello shots would be more uniform (all pretty much the same) and could make for a sticky mess.

Personally, I'd think that was one of the coolest party ideas I'd seen in a while -- everyone gets to revert to being a six-year-old for a few seconds. :p
 
the mini bottles are a great idea. I think I'm gonna do mini bottles, maybe some mini cans of beer bubble wrapped, some jello shots (i think i'll put a piece of tape over the lid so they will stay closed more) and then some funny glasses and hats too.

If I was a wealthier citizen I'd love to fill it with drugs haha
