I'm running a bar at a charity event over the weekend.

A couple of younger types have asked if there'll be 'shots' available. Being a middle-aged-IT-bod, I know nowt about such things. Beer, spirits and wine - yes. Shots - no.

I don't want to go daft and buy in a load of stuff we won't sell, but would like 3 or 4 popular choices. I was thinking along the lines of Tequila, Sambuca... Any others?

Jagermeister! Some kind of alcopop type "sourz" thing...the more brightly coloured the better (and probably cheaper for you to buy). I'm not sure the youngsters are really doing Tequila or Sambuca anymore.

Thanks DD - I was wondering about Sambuca - I wasn't going to ignite it either so I'll drop this.

Doesn't Jaegermeister need to be served chilled?

All the kids love Jaeger bombs, so get some redbull too.

2 wrongs can make a right after all ?

Personally I'd avoid shots as it can get messy, but potentially good for profit as well 😕

Jager (Bombs)
Tequila (slammers)

will do the job alone .. shooters are generally more a type of feminine-drinking - masochism anyway (IMO)
maybe a little more erm ..not daring as such but maybe controversial for a charity bar

Absinthe
Vodka (Jello) shots if you can find em/bother to make em

Absinthe

...leads to trouble.... 60%-80% plus with an added haloucinogen (spelling?) 😯

Jager (and plenty of redbull/cheap 3rd party equivalent)
Sambuca
A brightly coloured one, once people move on to it, they won't care what it is... (also these sort, sourz and the like, are generally not as high alcohol as proper spirits, which mightn't be the worst thing ever)

tbh you might find that they just do shots of the spirits you put on.

If you get sambuca, get the black stuff. It looks more sophistamacated and they go for that shit.

All the kids by me drink Bucameister, part Jagermeister and part Black Sambuca, tastes like shit but they seem to like it 😆
Or try 'em with Gltterbombs, goldschlager and Redbull/ Monster
