Straight bottles



                               Hey, come-on, in this edition you don’t really expect
                               straight ‘straight’ bottles do you?

                                                  We get to start off with five New
                                                  Zealand bottles four of which are
                                                  also shot glasses. Unfortunately they
                                                  are plastic. The Sex on the Beach
                                                  bottles are from the Ready to Drink
                                                  Cocktail Company and contain the

                                                  well known cocktail, Sex on the
                                                  Beach – what else?

                                                  Orgasm and Dirty Girl were banned.
                                                  We few collectors who have them
                                                  mainly owe a debt of gratitude to
                                                  Erica Mulder who made some
                                                  ‘disappear out of the back door!’
                                                  They were made by Portion Pack,
                                                  together with a range of other shot
                                                  glass bottles that do not fit with this
                                                  article.
                                                                  Pocket Shots (work it
                                                                  out) is a bag of vodka
                                                                  from South Africa – I’m sure the lady
                                                                  could tempt me!

                                                                  Striker ‘Bottoms Up’ is another vodka,
                                                                  this time from Scotland.

                                                                  I know that there are
                                                                  lots of bottles like this
                                                                  from Germany but
                                                                  have only been able
                                                                  to locate a few.

                                                                  Freudenspender (joy
                             spender is the literal English translation) 25ml bottle of
                             40% vodka. Suber Arsch is another bottle from
                             Krugmann (see first article). I don’t need to translate this
                                 one!

                                 We start the next page with Schlupfer Sturmer (slip
                                 storm is the literal English translation). This is a rum
                                 based liqueur. Next to it is Feige Eva (cowardly Eva
                                 – presumably because she is wearing a fig leaf), a
                                 vodka concoction. I have no idea as to what is in the
                                 third bottle. Scharfer Hüpfer translates as Sharp
                                 Hop. I have no idea about the bottle on the right.
