As y’all know, it’s Lent and I have a habit of giving up all sorts of things during the season, mostly to test my willpower. So far, I have been sticking to it just fine. The worst part is looking at my Lolita glass collection and knowing I won’t be using it for over a month. This is me for the next few weeks.
Over a month, people!!!
Sure, I can use one for a water glass, and probably will. But it’s just not the same. Little One offered to add food coloring to my water to make it look like a cocktail, but I declined. Her version of what looks like a cocktail is wildly different from mine. It’s not that I have a cocktail or glass of wine every night. It’s just that wine goes in a wine glass and cocktails go in a cocktail glass and water goes in a water glass. I don’t like messing with the order of things.
Anyway, I was looking at the cocktail board on Pinterest a few days ago and it gave me pause. There were some recipes there that called for some spirits best left in the Nether World, if you get my drift. I just don’t get how some people can drink some of the liquors and liqueurs out there. Seriously.
Liquor I Will Never Drink
#5– Chartreuse™
The color is named for its hue. Neither the color nor the taste is appealing to me.
#4– Ouzo
Tastes like oily rotted anise.
#3– Grappa
Fermented grape skins were violated in the making of that stuff.
#2– Jaegermeister™
It is a digestive aid. One doesn’t drink Mylanta™ for kicks, so why drink that stuff to get tipsy?
#1– Absynthe
If I want to take a trip, I will book one through a travel agent.
As far as I’m concerned, these liquors are best used in Molotov cocktails. Your mileage may vary, but I bet some of y’all secretly agree with me.
Especially on the Jaegermeister™ 😀
