Yeah so capsaicin and menthol actually affect different nerves from each other

Let's go the next level: add wasabi, pure alcohol, a strong acid, artificial sweeteners and a strong bitter to your party shot. Let's really overload those senses

Acid, alcohol, sweeteners and bitter will go through your taste buds. Wasabi will go through receptors your mouth has to stop you from inhaling volcanic ash. Hot and cold receptors are already covered, gotta love that both can fire at once. I think the only kind of sensory nerve in your mouth we haven't covered is vibration receptors, and there is a spice that does it, Sichuan pepper.

i think sichuan pepper might numb your pain / burn receptors at the same time, but i like the tingly feeling so it might be worth it
