Abstract
To chill an alcoholic beverage, the beverage is poured into at least one shotglass which is then lidded to form an air-tight seal. The lidded shotglass is inserted into a refrigeration compartment, whereby the alcoholic beverage is chilled to a temperature at or below 0° F. The lidded shotglass is removed from the refrigeration compartment when it is desired to consume the alcoholic beverage, and the chilled alcoholic beverage is drunk directly from the shotglass after removing the lid. A number of the lidded shotglasses can be placed in a thermally insulative container, whereafter the container is placed in the refrigeration compartment to chill the alcohol.
