2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAny professional mixologists in the house?
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?

(11,949 posts)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.

(15,805 posts)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.

(844 posts)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

(1,429 posts)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
Midori, pineapple juice and a half shot of Tuaca. Layered as a shot or mixed as a cocktail..
