Any professional mixologists in the house?

[procon]

I think we're gonna a need a long list of good cocktail recipes for tomorrow's nail biter.

I looked at our stockpile of ancient booze bottles, mostly inherited from our dearly departed relatives... does booze have a "Use By" date? And what the hell do you make with the brilliant green melon liqueur that looks like radioactive waste from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant?

6. weve had some bottles of baileys turm to sludge....

very clumpy. people bring it occassionally and leave the bottle. we don't drink it and when checked, it is rather chunky.

never had the guts to try it.

7. Mix valium with a box of wine

Joking of course. Don't actually do that.

[procon]

19. I actually have a box of red wine (but alas, no valium) maybe a pitcher of

citrusy Sangria to go with our election night DIY Taco Bar.

27. Nooooooo

I remember Karen Ann Quinlan too vividly.

11. My mom had bottles of booze that were decades old

some of the dark ones, like bourbon turned white. They had been opened.



vino for me

12. If it is real booze

80 proof or more it will not spoil. The sweet stuff turns relatively quickly unless kept in the icebox.

And my drink tomorrow...bourbon old fashion. After a few neat Weller 12 year olds.

Good luck.

16. All you'll need is champagne.

[procon]

20. No champagne in my collection but there's a bottle of spumante. nt

[procon]

17. There's gallons of vodka and gin in there.

And licorice liqueur -- well, it tastes kinda good -- but in a cocktail? I've got all the makin's for the Cucumber Basil Mojito... that looks very refreshing. Thanks!

18. Melon Ball: 2 parts Vodka, 1 part melon liqueur, a splash orange juice. Poured over ice.

[procon]

21. That's doable, and I want to try out that melon liqueur. Thanks!

[Hekate]

29. I love your description of the Midori, btw. Add enough vodka and call it Fukushima.

[procon]

34. I'd have to do that early in the evening, no telling what that word would

sound like a couple of hours in.

[Siwsan]

22. I've got sparkling wine for a toast, but might steel myself with a Manhattan, or two, earlier

And I am trying to decide if I want to get a take away from our local Lebanese restaurant, or the local Mexican restaurant. Hmm, if I go Mexican, that requires a Margarita. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

23. Someone came up with these: The Nasty Woman and the Bad Hombre

[procon]

25. I'm missing most of the ingredients, but they look good.

I can see I'll need to go shopping, so I'm saving those for later. We still have to get through Trump's concession speech (or angry temper tantrum), and then there's Inauguration Day.

26. And the newest addtion, the Mazel Tov Cocktail

40. Looks tasty!

[PoorMonger]

30. I've Got Options.

I have plans to open a bottle of Ska Mole Stout to have with my tacos y burritos while watching the numbers roll in. After that it's probably a celebratory shot or two of Blanton's. If somehow we lose I've got three tall cans of Surly Furious IPA - and I'll probably need a lot more of the Blanton's

[procon]

37. I have absolutely no idea what any of that stuff is, but Cheers! nt

32. .

"what the hell do you make with the brilliant green melon liqueur that looks like radioactive waste from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant?"

[OIFmamaVET]

33. Green like radioactive waste is "Midori liqueur"

It's melon flavored that's great with pineapple juice and you can mix a little vodka in it😋

[Grey Lemercier]

35. I am cracking open a single malt scotch, The Macallan 25 YO,as old as I am, taking it out to a party

My father gave it to me when I earned one of my Masters degrees. Seems like the right time to sip away, to Madame President!!!!

[pkdu]

39. Do NOT take that to a party. I will hunt you down and

Slap you .

Enjoy at home....over many days.

[Hekate]

41. I'm with you!

[Grey Lemercier]

42. Well you maybe you are right, as I took it out to a Brexit party

and look what shambolic scumfuckery happened then. My wife says if I take it out and Shitgibbon wins she is going to throw it into the Thames, and that would be a tragic loss of a £750 bottle of liquid bliss.


LOL

38. Midori

Midori, pineapple juice and a half shot of Tuaca. Layered as a shot or mixed as a cocktail..
