Lies! Lies, I say!

I would pass out in the computer chair and drool on the keyboard, the

Although you might ask Bret about 151 Bicardi...

If you got it wrong, here's an easy one.

Take 40-50 USD and purchase a bottle of Tres Generationes Tequilla, fill 
double shot glass with said Tequilla. Consume. Repeat as needed for 
desired effect.

While it is no Vodka Martini (shaken not stirred) it does achieve the 
desired effect.
