Errr... that's a hoax, right? The air in your mouth is the same temperature as 
your body (98F or 36C), nowhere near cold enough to make air condense. As soon 
as liquid hits your mouth, unless it's ultra-cold (beyond anything you would 
want to put in your mouth), it'll be warmed at least past the point of 
condensation. The air you breathe out, moreover, is coming from inside of your 
body where teh temperature is the aforementioned 98/36.

Thus, I don't really think there's a shot that will do that. Maybe there is 
one that will create the illusion thereof, or if you go outside and do it. 
Right now in New Jersey, the high temperature for the day is 35F or roughly 
2C. So if you were to take a shot standing out here, you'd see your breath.

ps: I was bartending this function for the seniors at my university last 
weekend adn the damned DJ turned out the lights. My station was in a dark 
corner, no less, and I had to work for two hours in complete dark. Wasn't easy 
and was definitely very very sloppy.
