Late Night Tiki Savage Shot Creations

7Shots Endured

Nov 15th 2009

So many great things come from friends gathering together and sharing ideas.
This was not one of those nights...

The rule was simple. Create a shot based on animal sweat. It started out simple. We created some nasty and barely drinkable concoctions. More people joined the chat and it slowly evolved into an obsession of unique creatures and complex ingredients relevant to indigenous behavior and ecosystems, if not metaphoric being. Some of these are real works of art, brilliantly symbolic and probably quite delicious. Others... not so much... but they do embody the essence of the animal in question.

Thanks to everyone at the TikiBarTV chat that night, keep reaching for the rainbow!
