Peace Shot

by snowshus

Summary:

It tastes like regret

Notes:

• For Muccamukk.

This cocktail is more of a concept piece and I don’t actually recommend trying it. You can of course, it’s perfectly safe, it’s just as the representation of Rick Flag’s influence on Chris's life it’s…well at first it’s fine. It’s just that sweet, sweet taste of taking the shot for PEACE, just like you were told to. You’re doing the right thing and it tastes so good, and the rush of the sugar and the alcohol give you that sweet high. But almost before you’re finished swallowing, you start to feel a little queasy. Something in your stomach just isn’t sitting right and it’s got this weird aftertaste. You probably can’t really figure out what’s wrong at first. This isn’t your first shot after all. You're an experienced shot taker. You’ve taken tons of shots, ever since you were really, probably, too young to be taking shots.  So you just push it down and ignore it. It’s fine. You’re fine. You're fine. I said you're FINE, swallow it down and man the fuck up, real men don't throw up after taking a shot.

Anyways, like I said, you're fine, for a while. Then the hangover kicks in. And you feel like absolute shit, way worse than any other shot has ever made you feel. And it lasts. And it lasts and lasts and lasts and you should be over it. You’ve never had a hang-over last this long. You shouldn’t still feel this bad anymore. It was just one fucking shot, why do you still feel like this? Why can’t you just get over it? 

And eventually you’ll start to feel better. You’ll start to not feel vaguely ill all the time. But then days later you’ll smell that sticky sweet cherry red and all of sudden you’re back to that vaguely queasy feeling and you just…you can’t…not again.
