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.
Still not that charming, unless the watermelons
you get are less like cucumber than the ones I've
had lately.
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.
The stuff in my recollection isn't terrible,
it's just not very good.
I wasn't familiar with Kinky until I googled it; it sounds even
worse.
From my report on the '14 echo picnic:
As the Drumster was not able to attend in person,
I took it on myself to provide the nasty technicolor
alcohol of the picnic in the form of a nip of Kinky
Blue berry liqueur - this was neither particularly
kinky nor particularly berry, though it was blue
enough. Tasted sort of like acidy alcoholic Jell-O,
insignificant, but the nip cost less than a buck.
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.
That never stopped anyone.

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."
Okay, but that's like being a Primrose path purist.
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!)
I take your word!

Seems he wants his drinks shaken, not stirred?
A vegan cried chopping an onion. Now that's taking it too far!
Why? Vegans have feelings, too.
