My monthly book quiz team thought it might be nice to have a themed team cocktail tonight. So I went through my parents' cupboard and discovered:

Port
Pink port
Ruby port
Baileys
Mint Choc Baileys
Tia Maria
Galiano
Martini Rosso
Pimms
Blackberry and elderflower Pimms
Gin
Rhubarb and ginger gin
Jack Daniels
Whiskey I am not allowed to have any of as it's the good stuff
Creme de cassis
Creme de whatever blackberry is in French
Grand Marnier
Cointreau
Peach liqueur
Apple schnapps
Dark rum
Light rum
Cognac
Sherry
Bristol Cream sherry
Cinc Cinc

So I think I might have to have quite a lot of cocktails before I go home.

Oh my god. (I want the mint chocolate Bailey's most of all. It sounds both awful and magnificent.)

I don't think I've ever tried it. Sadly, I tried to use a cocktail recipe searcher but it suggested that none of these ingredients combined well

Can I come and live with your parents?

If you have orange juice, you can make Hawaiian Cocktail with the gin, the Cointreau, and the orange juice. 4 parts gin, to 2 parts orange juice, and 1 part Cointreau. (The recipe says Curacao or any other orange liqueur.) Part of Julian May's Milieu Trilogy is set in Hawaii, on Kauai, for an SF connection.

That does sound like both a challenge and an opportunity!

I do not understand people who own booze and do not drink it. It would be like opening a cupboard and finding a dozen different cakes, only MORE SO.
