The ‘Blinding’ of Isaac Shot Set

James Dance from Loading fulfilled a request to make a shot set based on the Seven Deadly Sins from the hit indie game The Binding of Isaac. They look tasty as sin, but too much at once will leave you blind drunk!

From left to right:

Wrath:
The most brutal of the sins this bomb is Black Sambuca and Bacardi 151 and a dark rum soaked ‘fuse’, guaranteed to do damage

Lust: 
She just wants a “Curdle” from you (Tequila Rose and Lime juice)

Sloth:
Not going anywhere fast this set mint chocolate drink takes some effort to down

Pride:
Pride normally comes before a fall and this shooter is no different Tequila and Lime juice

Envy: 
You’ll be feeling green with this Envy, NV absinthe (groan worthy punning but it had to be done) and Kahlua in a split mixer

Greed:
He only acknowledges money, he drinks money, he is the master of coin (Goldschlager and Lemoncello) 

Gluttony:
Split your gut open with a fierce, sugary blast wave of Chambord, Baileys and cocoa
