I wannttt…. Brrraaaiiiinnnnnsssss… and a hangover.
Halloween is upon us and most you are pretty busy getting your Halloween parties stacked with the right goodies for your guests. Why not play on the Halloween theme and serve your guests some gruesome brains shots. This slurpin’ delight is really simple to make that should prove to be a hit with your friends. Zombie are the shit right now (right behind vampires… stupid Twilight) and for those of you that can’t stomach the idea of eating real brains, why not just drink it. The shot is pretty simple as it is primarily vodka (I prefer Belvedere), but the tricky part is the key component which is the brain tissues floating in the shot. The “Brains Shot” was the creation of Dan Goss of Downtown Grill and Brewery located in Knoxville, Tennessee. Apparently, the foundation of the drink is vodka mixed with acidic lime juice. With the use of a small straw (preferably a thin straw), all you have to do is drop in a small amount of Bailey’s Irish Crème into the vodka/lime juice mixture. The Bailey’s Irish Crème when added curdles into cortical gyri-like substance that looks like a chunks of brain tissue. As an extra bonus, splash some grenadine into the shot to give off the effect of blood and there you have it! I want to see tequila pull that shit off!
Hit the jump to see the recipe to creating “Brains Shots”. Good luck!
