There are also rounds of shots at every bar stop.

    I enjoy a variety of drinks. i have a friend who is trying to provide bartending to a bar which usually has shots of only 2 ingredients. This is done for a variety of reasons. Do you have a list of simple 2 ingredient shots with nothing exotic?
