Ticket Sports Pub found itself on the receiving end of complaints this weekend after they began selling "Trump shots," as advertised on the marquee outside the downtown business.

4. It's supposed to be an orange-colored shot of something.

Maybe a mix of raspberry liqueur with lemoncello--that would turn out orange, I guess.
