> Some people like to make it congeal on purpose. There is a shot called a “Cement Mixer”, which I thought was Bailey’s and orange juice, but a quick google tells me is Bailey’s and lime juice. Whatever–they both sound disgusting. Apparently, you hold the Bailey’s in your mouth and then pour in the citrus juice and feel the magic happen right there with no 20-year wait. Ick.

No one likes that shot - it’s typically a joke shot ordered for drunk people on their birthdays.

As far as I know, he suffered no ill effects. But then, he could also be convulsing in a ditch somewhere as I type this. I give it even money on either possibility.

We put the rest in the garage until garbage day (today) and when I went out there last night the entire place smelled like 20 year old irish creme. I threw it all away though so no more experiments on whether it lights on fire. Alas.
