Pocket Shots

…Because the whole rest of the internet has posted on ‘em already… lol

A ”pocket shot” is a ziplock bag, filled with one of five different alcohols (essentially). They retail for $2.00 in the US, and are a big shot’s worth (50 mL - that’s 1.7 oz).

I gotta say… if I wanted booze on the go, I’d probably just buy a flask. I mean, there’s a certain “neato” factor to these things… but I doubt I’d do a straight shot of whisky on a whim; and if I’m going to be using it as part of a mixed drink, then I’m already lugging around the mixer (the orange juice, the coke, what have you) - I may as well lug around a small bottle of the alcohol I want to use.

I’d bet money this product will never be available in Canada. I bet if you went to a few dollar stores though you’d be able to find a cheapo “water bottle” that was essentially a plastic bag with a water bottle spout on it; giving you a very similar “go anywhere” ability.

There’s so many single-serving-packaged products out there nowadays… it’s not surprising that there’s a new alcoholic one on the block.
