Pull the pin.
The shot's already in it.
A real 44 mL shot, sealed in the cap. One pull drops it into the mix and pops the lid.
The pull
One pull.
Three things happen.
The shot waits in its own sealed cup inside the cap, held there by a flat gate on the end of the pin. Drag the ring to see what happens inside.
The shot drops
The gate slides out from under the cup and the shot falls through a 22 mm opening into the mixer.
The slot seals
A small flap swings shut behind the gate, so nothing leaks out the side when you tip it back.
The lid pops
The pin holds the lid's latch until the very end. It lets go last, the lid flips open, and you drink straight from the empty shot cup.

Questions
Before
you pull.
Does the shot really stay separate?
Yes. It sits in its own sealed cup in the cap. A flat gate on the end of the pin, clamped between two gaskets, keeps it out of the mixer until you pull.
Can I open it without pulling the pin?
No. The pin holds the lid's latch and lets go last, so the shot always drops before the lid opens.
What happens to the pin?
It comes out in one piece, ring and all. Nothing loose is left inside the bottle.
How strong is it?
About 5% ABV once mixed: one 44 mL shot of 40% spirit in a 355 mL drink, roughly the same as a beer.
Why swirl?
Spirit is a little lighter than most mixers, so it sits near the top at first. A two-second swirl evens it out.
Where can I get one?
Not yet. Pin Shot is in development, and the bottles shown here are renders.
