Shot Dropper

posted by wes at 10:34 pm

Celebrating a tradition growing in popularity, the Shot Dropper addresses the issues with ‘bomb style’ drinks (such as boilermakers and carbombs), allowing for a more enjoyable celebratory night out.

A small, acrylic shell filled with food-safe rubber holds a shot glass inside a pint glass, poised and ready for its descent.  Simply applying a small amount of pressure with the tip of a finger releases the shot glass from the pint’s rim.

When you cheers with a friend, the vibration from the glasses clanking together will release the shots, thus timely mixing your drink for you.

This project was worked on January through March 2008 at The University of the Arts. Group members included Carson Sio, Adam Rusiski, Tim Peet, Ji Un, and I.
