I don't know WHAT they're going to do down here if the airlines ever quit
using mini bottles, honestly... things were SO much simpler with liquor by
the drink...

Of course, trust a Baptist Politician to mess it up (or actually a gaggle of
them)... <G>.

To bring it back to a kind of period discussion, anybody got a favorite
liqueur type recipe sources?

See my biggest purchases of liqueur are white brandy and vodka, liqueur
making is another of my hobbies. Distilling it myself is not only
troublesome, but illegal in the US, so in SPITE of family history, I buy the
stuff... <G>
