Derek and Josh have been friends for over 15 years! From ATV racing, water sports, to vacations, they have established an inseparable friendship. After years of bouncing different ideas off each other in pursuit of establishing a business partnership, the FlipShot was introduced by Josh in 2008. During his college days, he spent much of his time studying mechanical engineering and also partying! He noticed the same problem everywhere he went with people taking shots; nearly everyone would make crazy faces, hesitate, or refuse a shot of liquor based on the taste alone. Being the inventor Josh is, he developed many concepts which led to the final FlipShot’s design you see today!

“The number one reported complaint about taking shots of alcohol is the taste and burning sensation.“
Ever wish you could eliminate or minimize that sensation?
A strong burn or intense taste is good occasionally
While some crave that challenge of a burning throat and intense taste, most of us just want to drink the shot and let the good times roll. If you can imagine your next outing or party with FLIPSHOT® then you can imagine that smooth aftertaste of the chaser and not your ridiculous face after a liquor only shot, so you can get back to being life of the party!
Introducing the Next Generation of Drinkware with No More Afterburn
Finally, shot drinking that makes sense.
The Flipshot® is a unique, dual-chambered shot glass that enables consumers to drink the shot of liquor and chase it with a second beverage with a simple push of a button. A rubberized flap in the interior of the cup separates the two liquids so that they do not mix or leak. Pressing the magnetic button pushes the rubber flap to the open position and allows one to easily prepare, as well as drink, the liquor/chaser combo.

How FlipShot Works & Why
Flipshot is the result of mechanical engineering, physics, ingenuity, and pure necessity! The peak burning sensation occurs between 1 – 4 seconds after swallowing the shot of liquor. The Flipshot delivers the chaser in 1/20 of a second!
That is fast enough to quench the burn BEFORE it develops!
By delivering the chaser the instant after consuming the shot, the major burning sensation does not have time to accumulate. After the Flipshot’s chaser is engaged, any residual burning sensation which previously coated one’s throat is washed away.
The end result is a very smooth taste transition, leaving many with smiles on their face the instant after the shot (which is very hard to do without the FlipShot; seriously, try it).
Unlike other shot glasses, Flipshot truly works to minimize the afterburn of liquor.
This is extremely useful for those who are a baller on a budget, and need immediate relief from the taste of that $9, bottom shelf liquor!
So whether you are partying in a dorm with the cheapest liquor in the store, or sipping top shelf liquor at a bar, grab a FlipShot to better enjoy the shot and more importantly, enjoy time with your friends!
FAQ Section:
1: Question: Do you have any other products other than the “FlipShot”?
Answer: Currently no. We do however have several other party related products currently in development!
2: Question: Does the FlipShot only pertain to Alcoholic beverages?
Answer: Absolutely not! Nutritional supplement and medications are other markets that desperately need solutions to bad aftertastes. Every drink “Barley Green”? Case in point!
3: Question: How many prototypes did it take before the final design?
Answer: 112 prototypes which include major design changes (shape, function, etc) and minor design changes (texture, ergonomics, etc).
