A cocktail of reasonable strength, made up of
two tequila and two
vodka shots. Usually served with
ice and a tooth pick. Also known to its detractors as "The Red Terror". The drink is especially despised by the counter-revolutionary Sambuca, Staropramen and Carling drinkers, who are known collectively as the Bukharinists and Stalinists.
E.g. 1. "Oi mate, I got us a couple of tequilas."
"Why don't you
stop being a Menshevik?"
"You what?"
"Put some
vodka in it and let's have a shotsky."
E.g. "I'm feeling
extra socialist tonight, shotskies for everyone!"
