What's the meaning

of shooters here? My guess is a drink or alcohol they shoot out from something into a drink? I'm quite a newbie to the bar scene Emotion: sad

"I was a bartender and at the end of the night a guy asked me to pour the liquor from the spill mat into a glass so he could drink it. it was a college-ish bar so the spill mat had all sorts of *** in it from various shooters like baileys. vodka, coke, gin, everything. he almost puked."

Thanks a million!

I guess you're right, though it's not in any dictionary I can find. Shots are measures of spirits. He must have meant those.

Shooters are a type of shot (as in alcoholic drinks).

They are like a small mixed drink, usually with two or more types of alcohol and one or more non-alcoholic ingredients. The glasses used to serve them are usually a little taller and skinnier than a regular shot glass.
