The coach won't be the only one calling shots on game day.

You'll need:
Shot Glasses
Lighter or matches
Grenadine
Half and half
Blue Curacao

Directions:
Pour grenadine into the bottom third of shot glass. Layer another third of the glass with Half and Half over the red layer. Fill the rest of the glass with Blue Curacao. To get perfect layers, use a spoon, back side up, and pour the liquid over the top of the spoon and into the glass. Repeat the process with a clean spoon for the Blue Curacao. Put the finishing touch on the drink by setting the top layer on fire.
