Pineapple Upside Down Cake Stolichannya, Jim Beam, Peach Schnapps, Pineapple juice, 1 splash Maraschino Cherry Juice

A favorite for a bartender to recommend when a female customer has no idea what to order. This is a sweet one and tastes like its name.

This is not the shot to order in front of your mother-in-law, especially if you are a red head, however it is a popular shot for bachelorette parties.

This shot lives up to its name because it feels like a bomb going down, but it is subtle enough to make the girls list because it has a smooth, yet sweet quality. If you are feeling a little crazy, turn this shot into a real bomb, drop into a glass of milk and shoot it.
