If you're an alcohol afficianado or a liquor lover who appreciates a quick dose of the hard stuff, the [SideKick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-mobility-device) Shot Glass is going to put a twist on your usual straight shooting.

The smart [shot glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martini-shot-glass) appears to be an average mini-cup for potent potions, but the difference is in the hidden twist-off storage compartment. Separating the main part of the glass from the removable bottom is a perforated barrier that allows just the flavor of any added condiment to flow through. From gummy bears and bubblegum to glow sticks and [dry ice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-cocktail-smoker), your chosen condiment, when infused with the alcohol, will produce awesome effects and amazing aftertastes.

Become the most in-demand bartender by stocking your cupboards with the SideKick Shot Glass set and say cheers to inventive imbibing. Bottoms up!
