tammi0916 Posted February 7, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I was out last night at a large liquor store and saw something called "Porta Shots" they are a bag of 20 individual shot pouches (1 oz each) they have vodka, rum, whiskey & tiquilla. They look like they would great to pack in your suitecase - but wanted to know if anyone has had them and how good the liquor was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurab23 Posted February 7, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Never heard of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kr8z Posted February 7, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have never seen them. Interesting. If you are mixing them, then I'm sure they are ok. I wouldn't try a martini with them unless I was already pretty tipsy though LOL I'll have to look for them. They look perfect! Too bad they didn't make those while I was still working. I could have used a couple in my purse LOL How much was a pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kr8z Posted February 7, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Do you recall how much a bag cost? I found some liquor stores in CA that carry it. I'll stop and buy a bag on the way to Long Beach next month. Here is their website: http://www.portashots.com/Index2.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna1127 Posted February 7, 2010 #6 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I brought along of few of them on our last cruise, just tossed them into the checked luggage. Found them for $1.79 each at a local liquor store. Brand names too, Bacardi and Jack Daniels. I believe they called them Pocket Shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stop and buy a bag on the way to Long Beach next month. Here is their website:http://www.portashots.com/Index2.php Those stores are no where near Long Beach. The closest is Costa Mesa which may take you 2-3 hours round trip depending on traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're driving in from El Paso. I thought I'd stop in Riverside. I used to live on Orange County, so I am fairly familiar with the area thank goodness :) It's a bear to get around there. I certainly remember the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunu Posted February 7, 2010 #10 Share Posted February 7, 2010 The folks at the my favorite liquor store gave me a few of these to try... don't bother... Ugh... :( But Mach it says "Premium" right on them? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tammi0916 Posted February 8, 2010 Author #12 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Oooooo... how could I have missed that?? Premium crap is still crap... :D Thanks for the insight! Was just wondering since I had never seen them before and I knew someone here would know! I did search on the "pocket shots" the other poster listed and they look a little more reliable since you can get brand names..... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassy0930 Posted February 8, 2010 #14 Share Posted February 8, 2010 My DH loves the idea of the pocket shots. I can't remember where he first heard of them, but he's been pretty keen on the idea since. Unfortunately we don't have any liquor stores around us that sell them for him to try out. Maybe we'll find somewhere on the way down to Miami in April for him to try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbay-eh Posted May 1, 2010 #19 Share Posted May 1, 2010 If they are 1.79 each that works out to 46.54 for an equivilent 26 oz bottle of any premium liquor which is no where near that cost. May be worth the convenience to some but not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTcruiser Posted May 1, 2010 #20 Share Posted May 1, 2010 do you recall how much a bag cost? I found some liquor stores in ca that carry it. I'll stop and buy a bag on the way to long beach next month. Here is their website:http://www.portashots.com/index2.php i tried to get them to send them to me. But no such luck. I will be buying some at that liquor store as well in july. There arent too many places that carry them. I have looked everywhere. They do ship to some states.

zmatt Posted September 22, 2010 #21 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Just bought 5 packs of 25 packets, i'll let you know how they work out on my cruise next week. Took them on my cruise and they worked out great, could go swimming them and just pour one or two in to my drink and was good to go. Only downside is the bad taste, its not good but it gets the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bafinegan Posted September 22, 2010 #23 Share Posted September 22, 2010 ok, maybe ima being a little dense here, but isnt that still smuggling? and at a total of $46, why not just legally buy a bottle from the bon voyage dept.? baf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
