Hm, about tabasco in alcohol, down south here in Norway, we have a shot named "Brennmanet" which is the norwegian common name for Cyanea capillata, a stinging jellyfish with a widespread circumpolar and atlantic ocean distribution. Basically, the shot is a spiked up flatliner only with a lot more tabasco for that added kick. For those who don't know, a flatliner consists of sambuca, tabasco and tequila in seperate layers with the tabasco in the middle looking a bit like a suspended jellyfish. Therefore the name.
Needless to say, it's one of the most volatile shots known to man, but we enjoy it still, especially when we can serve them to strangers who've never had one before. Just don't do them alone or when you're sober. You need to be under the influence to dampen some of the negative responses.
If I ever meet any of you guys, I'll buy you one.
