Why use word "shots" in alcoholic drinks?!
Answers: Because that's what the measure is - the shot glass.
A gelatin shot or jello shot (often known as a vodka jelly in the United Kingdom) is a party food where some sort of alcohol, usually rum, vodka, tequila or sometimes even grain alcohol replaces some of the water or fruit juice used to congeal the gel.
The American satirist and mathematician Tom Lehrer has been rumored to have been the first to invent the gelatin shot in the 1950s while working for the National Security Agency, where he developed vodka gelatin as a way to circumvent a restriction of alcoholic beverages on base[1], but this claim has not been substantiated.
The maximum alcohol content is somewhere between 19 and 20 oz. of vodka per 3 oz. package of Jell-O powder, or about 30% alcohol by volu
i think that word is used because the drink hit u quick just like a SHOT
A Shot is what is made of a drink, vodka and coke, or a whiskey and coke is a shot. So a shot is straight liquor..therefore a shot.
Because a shot is a form of measurement when it comes to mixing drinks.
because when you wake up the next morning, you wish you had been shot instead.
