Last night I was taught a great prank to play on your (drinking) pals this weekend, which is to offer them two fingers of something (malort?) and proceed to start measuring using only your pinky and forefinger.
@hacks4pancakes that's a lot of Malort ๐Ÿ˜†
@hacks4pancakes we used to just order people rounds of baileyโ€™s and lime juice. usually curdles by the time they knock it back.
@hacks4pancakes I have heard horror stories about Malort.
@dorkland @hacks4pancakes malort is Chicago as a liqueur. If you like Chicago, youโ€™ll like Malort. Now if you want Pittsburgh in a bottle, you need Super Punch Jannamico. #Malort #SuperPunch #Jannamico
@hacks4pancakes That seems like the correct amount of Malort.
@hacks4pancakes I think it was Sammy Davis Jr. or one of the Rat Pack who made the gag "two fingers, please" but would hold their fingers vertically.
@forensication @hacks4pancakes I remember my grandfather (here in Uruguay) making that same joke when I was a kid and was pouring him "two fingers of whisky", so my guess is that it's probably about as old as fingers and alcohol ๐Ÿ™‚
@hacks4pancakes I have a bottle of Malort-barrel aged stout in my fridge. I'm kinda scared about it.
@hacks4pancakes ooh. Thatโ€™s evil. ๐ŸŒฝ๐Ÿ˜ธ๐ŸŒฝ
@hacks4pancakes There's a corny joke in my country. It goes like:
* Shakes bottle of alcohol.
- Would you like two fingers?
- Sure, but let's have a drink first!

@hacks4pancakes

That's ... diabolical.  โ€‹

@hacks4pancakes even measuring the "normal" way can give quite different results ;)
