Grizzly Bear

1/2 oz.       Amaretto almond liqueur
1/2 oz.       Jagermeister herbal liqueur
1/2 oz.       Kahlua coffee liqueur
1 1/2 oz.    milk 

Serve over ice. It doesn’t sound too appealing, but we were told it tastes pretty good.

So one of the guys I watch pro football with regularly brought this recipe with him last night for the nationally televised Chicago Bears—Philadelphia Eagles game. While he’s not a member of the ShareMyShot staff, this friend of mine reads the recipes on the site daily and has wanted to share one for a while. While he has others he says are “more his style“, he thought this one would go great with all of us watching the Bears game here in Chicago.

And it’s jack-ass recipes such as this one as to why he is not on the ShareMyShot.com staff. Those of us who partook of the shot couldn’t decide which was shittier: the Grizzly Bear shot or the Chicago Bears football team? Just about all of us were pretty reluctant from the start. Quite simply, I don’t drink shots with milk and alcohol in them. Who the hell does?

We implored this character to offer up one of his other, more traditional suggestions. But he wanted to connect the Grizzly Bear to the football game and have a gay little theme , I guess. Perhaps I’m just holding a grudge from him exposing me to this crap-ass concoction. And I’m a little bit pissed at the Chicago Bears too. Let’s just say everything with the word “Bear” in it sucked bad on Sunday night.

None of the ingredients (except milk) are among my favorite beverages. I can tolerate Jagermeister. But I’ve never been a huge fan of almond amaretto nor Kahlua for that matter. Mix them with the Jager and some cold milk and you have one horseshit mixture. I literally had a stomach lurch as I drank the shot. Nothing ugly happened (except on the television). But it reminded me of taking Pepto-Bismol as a kid.

 You know….that thicker pink shit that was supposed to do something for your stomach. For me, it usually induced vomiting. And I think I had an instant of flashback as I brought this shot to my lips. I started drinking it and my stomach gave a little lurch. It could have been the shot, OR it could have been another lame-ass pass from Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. I’m not sure.

But I forced it down and then had that sensation where your mouth gets real watery as you try to hold something bad down. I swallowed about fifteen times until the taste was gone. And then almost all at once, we hurled insults and put-downs on our buddy.

ShareMyShot gives this bear of a shot a ZERO on a scale of 5. It blew. Please don’t ever share a shot with me that contains milk. I can handle lime juice or even whipped cream. But for the love of God, please…no milk.

Cheers !!!
