Who spiked the Lounge water today?

:shrug:

if you had only responded to my comic book thread...none of this would have happened!

possibly because comic books are so far off my radar...
but can you give me a link?

:bounce:

:P

:P

:cry:

:shrug:

I am a moving target. But that is your (billyskank) problem, not mine.

:crazy:

*shifts*

I bathed in it!!!!

there has to be some explanation

Sorry.

what is the European (Swiss, German, Italian or French, to be specific) equivalent of Everclear and/or grain alcohol? I ask this because I have a homemade liquer recipe which calls for Everclear, but none of the merchants here have ever heard of it. :shrug: (Please don't say grappa. Grapes are not a grain. :cry: )

you must have a moon shiner somewhere nearby. Ask around some, I'll bet someone is making it!

Switzerland isn't really known for its amber waves of grain, and I really, really wanna make some homemade kahlua before winter. :cry:

Do you think vodka would be an appropriate subsitute?

Here's roughly the recipe that I've used in the past, but I brewed espresso rather than using "instant" coffee.

content. A good vodka doesn't have a strong flavor anyway.

Kahlua

Ingredients (Recipe 1)
1 quart water
3 cups sugar
12 level Tablespoons instant coffee
3 cups 100-proof vodka
3 Tablespoons pure vanilla

Ingredients (Recipe 2)
3 cups water
4 cups sugar
1/2 cup freeze-dried coffee

a kahlua and cream and a good book on a cold Swiss night! (I'm hoping to convert my brother-in-law from grappa to some more interesting drinks, too. :evilgrin: )

It's about the only way I'll drink coffee anymore. I've used similar recipes before.

:shrug:

Any vodka :)

Still I prefer Sobieski :)

or Outrage Burnout.

Sorry, I am just trying to fit in with the cool kids, since I will be meeting many of you next weekend in DC :woohoo:

I thought you guys liked hallucinogenic mushroom tea :shrug:

Strange indeed.

missing half a case of Maker's Mark. I'm jus sayin.'
