Statue of Liberty Shot
12.18.08 | None
This little idea was first brought up to me by my good friend Justin, who should be guest-blogging on here shortly. We were living together for all of about 2 months and trying to figure out new and interesting ways to take shots or make shots interesting. He remembered being at a party and seeing a failed attempt at a Statue of Liberty Shot and decided that we should try it. Now, this isn’t a “shot” in the respect of creating a cocktail. This is a certain way to take a shot, that makes any shot with flammable liquid into the coolest thing that has ever sent you to the hospital.
Disclaimer: I don’t recommend this shot for anyone with flammable skin (hint: that’s you).
Now that the legal stuff is out of the way I can describe this shot taking method.
1. Fill a shot with whatever you like, making sure that either the overall contents are more than 100 proof or that the top of the shot is mostly 100+ proof liquor. You can achieve this easily by floating some after you have poured your shot.
2. Dip two of your fingers in the shot.
3. Light your fingers on fire.
4. Light the shot on fire with your fingers.
5. Blow your fingers and the shot out (in that order, please).
6. Take the shot.
I have seen this fail amazingly as well as be completely awesome. It’s all in the presentation and ability to not get tragically/comically burned. Have fun and when in doubt add some 100 proof alcohol to anything. It makes things warmer. I’ve been using Bacardi 151 for mine lately, since that bottle refuses to go out without a fight and I’m determined that no alcohol is a match for my liver. Besides, they’ll have amazing artificial livers in 10 years tops, so here’s to an upgrade!
