You may not know this, but you can always hit up Costco for the cheap liquor, whether you're a member or not.
Their discounted fifths, though, are nothing compared to some of the more insane Costco liquor products the wholesale chain has put up over the years.
Some of these sound incredibly useful, especially for the long term. Others come so far outta left field you end up just staring at them wondering why they exist.
Not all of these are nationally available or still around, but they're the boozy hidden treasures of Costco that have been worth finding over the years.
Who knows? Maybe you can still track them all down today.
Alcoholic 'Otter Pops'
People have been going nuts for these since news broke of Costco carrying them. At 100 calories each, the vodka-infused ice pops are basically grown up Otter Pops. The only downside is that at eight percent, these "martini" popsicles are weaker than James Bond's "shaken, not stirred," drink.
Tequila... Shotgun?
The adult version of squirt guns, you actually WANT to get hit in the mouth with these. Otherwise, you'll be left with sticky tequila all over your clothes.
Pumpin' Out Shots Of Rum
Imagine cranking out shots of rum faster than Starbucks baristas can add syrups to your latte. That's basically what this container will do for you. With these, you don't have to keep pouring out and guessing how much a shot is once you get deep into the night.
Beer Advent Calendar
This is one step above getting chocolate every day leading up to Christmas, as a regular advent calendar would. Instead, you get a new bottle of imported German beer to imbibe in every 24 hours. The best part is, once you finish it one year, you have the entire empty case to refill with your favorite brews the next time December rolls around.
$19,000 Bottle of Scotch
Costco is known for the cheap liquor, but sometimes they'll bring out the high-end stuff as well. This particular scotch is aged for an astounding 50 YEARS, and only 200 bottles of it remain. Whoever was in charge of buying stuff for this Costco really hit the jackpot here.
Barrel of Jack Daniels
I wonder what the liquor tax is on buying a barrel of jack at Costco in Washington. pic.twitter.com/zUc69zye1p

This is what it really means to "buy in bulk." Forget a single bottle of Jack, just go and get the whole barrel, which can hold about 47 gallons of booze. The good times will never stop flowing with one of these around.
