What You'll Need:

-Baileys Irish Cream

-Frangelico

-Chambord

Directions: This is kind of like a spin on the Jelly Donut shot, but with a splash of Frangelico to give it that nutty biscuit taste. Combine equal parts Baileys, Frangelico and Chambord. If you want to get real fancy and risk diabetes, chase with a chocolate covered marshmallow.

What You'll Need:

-Vegemite

-Hot Water

Add about 15 ML of your Vegemite bin water to two shots of tequila in a glass. Top with approximately two shots of soda water. Slam onto the table to let it fizz & mix together. Regret instantly.

What You'll Need:

-Tim Tams

-Ice cream

-Vanilla vodka

-Baileys Irish Cream

Directions: Blend a few Tim Tams, a scoop of ice cream and a generous helping of vodka and Baileys. Top with some crushed Tim Tams.

You can attempt a Tim Tam slam — I used too much ice cream to successfully do that because I'm a GLUTTON.

7. Party Pies & Tomato Sauce

What You'll Need:

-Party pies

-Tomato sauce

-VB (or any beer)

-Bundaberg rum

-Absolutely no self-respect

Directions: Take on the Drop Bear bomb shot (Bundy into VB). Scoop out the delicious innards from your party pies and mix with your VB. Allow to stand to get all that meaty goodness into your beer. Meanwhile, stir about half a tomato sauce squeeze packet into two shots of Bundaberg rum.

Once you've strained your meat-beer-mix, pour until a pint glass is half-way full. Fill a shot-glass with your Bundy-Sauce.

Drop from a meaningful height, say a quick prayer and chug.
