Flexible Pocket Shot Liquors

by Jonathan M. Forester, Posted Nov 30th 2006 @ 5:36PM

I love some of the new packaging we've been seeing the past few years. It's what you first see on the shelf and can make or break a purchase. Now, new on the market you will be seeing assorted spirits and mixed drinks available in Pocket Shots, a flexible 50ml stand-up plastic pouch. They are designed as a more portable version of the mini-bottle like you get on airlines. They are practically unbreakable, soft and squishable, and pocket stuffable for easy portability, their slogan is "goes anywhere." So far they come in five types of spirits: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Aged Four Years, Imported Caribbean Gold Rum, Premium Triple Distilled Vodka, London Dry Gin, and Especial Gold Tequila Imported from Mexico. All of these are high quality spirits from premium, well known brands. I expect to see these around a lot from now on and predict that airlines and hotels will be switching over from the mini-bottle in the near future.

Nobody can afford a full bottle of imported liquor where they were, but they can splurge and buy a shot and at least have a taste of what the wealthier countries have. It's a very inexpensive way of "bottling" liquor. My father in law tried the local corn beer and described it as alcoholic corn meal mush, adding that it was about a quarter solids.

I saw the packets of liquor in Africa as well. At first I thought folks were eating ketchup straight from those small foil packets, then was offered one. A shot of high test, rough grain alcohol. Wooo Wee! My eyebrows curled. --JMF--

Aren't these cool? I posted about them on my blog, www. SparkBugg.com, a few days ago, as well (http://tinyurl.com/yzqwwr).

Why don't they also make larger sizes (essentially, disposable flasks)?
