Hey there Redball!
We all take shots on the field, but this month, we wanted to put our “Unofficial” shots in the spotlight. But first, let me remind everyone. Please drink safely, don’t drink and drive, there’s Uber for a reason!
Now let’s get to it! Redball Kickball has been longstanding in the community. And with kickball, comes the social after party. If you haven’t already noticed, or ordered one at the bar, the unofficial shot for Redball Kickball is and always will be… FIREBALL! That’s right, the cinnamon flavored whiskey that has grown mass popularity over the years, is undoubtedly the most ordered shot of the Redball franchise! Anyone remember two seasons ago during our Thursday night league when someone ordered literally a round of 100 fireball shots at the bar? They were passed out to anyone and everyone who came through! That’s just how it goes when Redball is at the bars!
Redball Dodgeball, has a shot of its own too! With its third season starting this month, it’s time we recognize the infamous picklebacks! You might be asking yourself, what is a pickleback? Well, a pickleback is a shot of Jameson whiskey, followed by a chaser of pickle juice. And trust me, it may sound gross, but it is the best thing you will ever try. The pickleback shot has been around for a years, however the name didn’t come about until 2006 from bartender Reggie Cunningham after doing several of the shots upon request from a southern patron. And wait, did you know, Old Crow was the first whiskey to be served, not Jameson? But I think we all know, it tastes a lot smoother with Jameson. Still not convinced you want to try that pickleback? Well, according to science the brine in pickles is an antidiuretic that contains electrolytes and absorbs salt. That means, it is perfect for hangovers.
So whether you are playing kickball or dodgeball, or you just want in on the action, don’t forget the next time you are at one of our sponsor bars, enjoy one of our “unofficial” shots!
