Picture this: it’s Saturday night and all your friends are on their way over to your place to pregame before heading out to the bar. You’re trying to think of something you guys can do while you’re waiting for the bar scene to heat up. You could just sit around and nurse a few beer, but no one’s gonna get a good buzz going that way. Shots seem like a better way to get a good base for a night out at the bar, but you don’t have enough shot glasses for everyone. You did, but last weekend someone can home from the bar and decided that shot glasses were evil and needed to be destroyed. They’re gonna be here any minute, so you’d better think of something fast!
Quick! Grab some apples and the Shot Carver (Perpetual Kid, $12.99), and we’ll have you in business in no time! Maybe you’re wondering how a few pieces of fruit is going to help you out in such a desperate time. Well, this handy gadget basically cores out the middle of the apple so that you can use it as a makeshift shot glass. Pretty nifty, right? One might say it’s awesome to the core. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Anyways, you’re not limited to using apples; pretty much any fruit that you have lying around the house would do. Pears, peaches, plums, and even something else that doesn’t start with the letter “p” are also acceptable. Even if you weren’t sans shot glass, this would be a great party idea because you could make your own flavored liquor. I mean, maybe you mean to get that sour apple vodka, but the liquor store closed before you could get there. No problem, just core out an apple and pour some Grey Goose in there.
If you really wanted to go all out, you could use the carver as a means to infuse fruit. Specifically, you could core out a section of watermelon and shove a bottle of liquor in there. Just let it sit for a few hours and you have a delightfully alcoholic fruit for dessert. Mmm, nothing says summer picnic like boozed up watermelon. Just don’t let the watermelon drive – I’m pretty sure there’s some intoxicated fruit law out there.
