    Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

    Four women aged 11,13,19, and 41 have invaded our house ...
    strange foods [...] watermelon flavoured malt liquor

    Like Mike's hard lemopnade, it's a fermented malt beverage but it's
    not beer and it turned out to be fairly tasty. Because of our
    strange alcohol laws alcohol made from de-flavourized fermented malt
    is taxed less than diluted spirits or wine in a cooler of the same
    proof. Boxer tastes like watermelon juice and soda with a small tot
    of vodka in it.

    low proof blue liquor

    Was the blue stuff Hpnotiq, Kinky, or Curacao?

    It was Hypnotiq which admittedly tasty but over priced by a factor
    of two because of an obnoxious but very sucessful marketing campagn
    aimed at young women.

    I wasn't familiar with Kinky until I googled it; it sounds even
    worse.

    1 oz each vodka and gin with 1 tsp each Chartreuse and lemon
    juice. Now I just need o name my creation.

    Green pastures, Gin lane, Bitter monk?

    My first choice Verdant Garden is already taken.

    I invented the gin gin snowball.
    Even Roslind, the purist, found it palatable.

    How can a purist like advokaat?

    She is a self proclaimed Snowball purist ... "sparkling lemonade,
    not 7-UP, extra lemon uice, freshly squeezed real lemon juice only."

    Big Rock Kristallweizen. I am not usually fond of wheat beers but

    I don't care for wheat beers

    One six pack per summer is enough. (And a two ounce shot glass of
    Boxer per summer is also enough!)

    Time for a real drink, a typical Embury 8-2-1 sour ....
