Whether it’s a bachelor’s final fling or a scandalous girl’s night out, clubbers can easily venture beyond the university scene to find master mixologists throughout L.A. creating enticingly exotic shooters for the nightlife crowd. Bottom's up! en Copyright 2008 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 01:52:00 -0800 http://images.citysearch.com/roundup/ce/65/42845r1.jpg http://losangeles.citysearch.com/roundup/42845 Citysearch Editors, Los Angeles Artfully arranged on an ice-filled glass block, this A-list hotel bar's trendy take on a bachelorette party favorite includes five heart-shaped Jell-O shots christened Love, Passion, Lust, Desire and Romance, each flavored by a different type of alcohol. Don't be fooled by the elegant presentation; these jiggly, liquored-up hearts pack a serious punch. Make sure to try Desire, a chocolate-flavored shot made from a decadent combination of vanilla vodka, Baileys, and real flakes of chocolate.

A flaming (literally, lit on fire) shot of Hot Damn cinnamon schnapps and Bacardi 151 dropped into a glass of Monster? Forgive me father, for I have sinned. Culver City, CA http://losangeles.citysearch.com/profile/41865279/culver_city_ca/saints_sinners.html Mon, 25 Feb 2008 01:52:00 -0800 Citysearch Editors, Los Angeles Tila Tequila may have had a “Shot at Love,” but the bartenders at this lounge play Cupid by creating their concoction of liquid affection with a Shot of Love: a sweet mix of Absolut Raspberri, peach schnapps, fizzy Seven-Up and lime topped with a splash of cranberry for rose-colored glasses. Careful, the alcohol content is cleverly disguised by its candy-like taste. One too many and you may just fall for that sexy single next to you at the bar.

Fans of the sweet and sour lemon drop cocktail will savor this concentrated mini version of the martini, served up in a sugar rimmed shot glass and garnished with a huge lemon wedge to chase it down.

The premise is simple: Drop a shot of Stoli Blueberi into a glass of 181, Budweiser's newest blueberry-flavored energy drink, and chug. Similar to a Jager bomb but without the bitter edge, at least with this shot you can pretend to get some antioxidants along with the nutrient-depleting alcohol.
