In a pan, bring the blue curacao or Midori to almost a boil. Remove it from the heat and mix in the agar powder with a spoon or spatula. Suck the liquid into the syringe and inject it into the tubing. Submerge the tubing into the glass of ice water and wait around 5 minutes for it to solidify. After about 5 minutes, remove the tubing from the water. To remove the newly solidified gel from the tube, fill your syringe with air and use the air to push the gel out. Cut the gel strings into the appropriate length for your shot glass. Carefully wrap the gel around the inside of your shot glass and slowly pour in citrus vodka. Serve, infect, and heal.

Avengers assemble Stars... and... Stripes!! One for the flight ANOTHER!!!! More love for hawkeye than the trailers Hulk Smashed!

expbaronlineThe Avengers Shot Challenge

Ingredients:
Captain America-
Grenadine
Blue curacao
Blueberry schnapps

Iron Man-
Grenadine
Blue curacao
Black Heart spiced rum

Thor-
Wild Turkey American Honey
Citrus Vodka

Hawkeye-
Grape Pucker
Captain Morgan: Tattoo

The Hulk:
Grape Pucker
Absinthe (NV Absinthe Verte used)

Directions: For all shots, layer the ingredients in the order given (except for Thor, which should be stirred). If all the ingredients are chilled, it should be very easy to layer them.

A note from the creators and the ‘shot challenge’ explanation:

Happy Avengers Day one and all!! So the trick here is they get stronger the further you go down the list. We have the order very carefully placed and drinks carefully crafted to embody the heroes. We are using the movie universe avengers even though we are aware they were not the first avengers.

Captain America:

Doctor erskine was going to share blueberry schnapps with him, but he couldn’t have it. Also due to the advanced tissues on his organs he can’t get drunk, hence this shot is the weakest.

Iron man:

Tony stark has battled on and off with alcoholism so his tolerance for alcohol is high hence the high proof rum, yet he tries to not drink hence the grenadine to dilute the alcohol.

Thor:

He is a god. He drinks after battle and can handle his alcohol, yet human alcohol seems to affect him more hence he is the middle.

Hawkeye:

Just a normal human with unbelievable accuracy with all fire arms, bow being his weapon of choice. (p.s. Unlike the trailers we here at EXPbaronline do support Hawkeye and think he is bad ass)

Hulk:

He’s the Hulk, and as he so eloquently has stated in the past, “HULK AM THE STRONGEST THERE IS!!!!!” hence he is last.

So there you have it the avengers shot challenge. Enjoy.

Spcial thanks to Alex Stephenson this week for his amazing art for the avengers shots. Check out his hilarious web comic Narcolepsy inc.

Congrats to EXPbaronline on creating this great looking shot series! If you’re still hungry for more Avengers drinks, don’t forget about Black Widow’s cocktail. Remember, always be responsible while drinking.

Commentary from EXPBarOnline: “This week’s drink comes from a game close to the hearts of many Final  Fantasy fans.
