I saw a crude method of a straw shot a while back.  The bartender took a drink 
straw,melted one end together, heated it with a lighter and blew into it to 
make a "balloon" in the middle. He then proceeded to sip some Puckers in his 
mouth and spit it into the pocket in the straw. Then seal the open end.

What is supposed to happen after that is the shot part.  A person is supposed 
to suck the shot out thru the side of the straw by sucking the straw's side 
and breaking it.

The bartender didn't have any takers on that one.  lol  I suppose the air 
bubble and the shot are supposed to be injected into the straw with a syringe.

Just a guess, I hope the way I saw isn't the usual way a straw shot is made.
