hcolleen and I wound up chatting last night. I was very drunk (for me) and she posted a chat log. Now that was some serious intoxication there. I did get a photo of the ingredients lined up on the unreliable shelf, and I got a photo of the drink. When I was done mixing it, the big red plastic cup was a little over half full. 32 oz plastic stadium cup.
The drink was not bad, though it tasted very thickly of alcohol. It was bitter, spicy, and sour, but all the flavors worked reasonably well together. I drank it slowly because I'm very not used to alcohol and I don't really like the taste. But the rest of it was an evolution in citrus and cinnamon. I should try it with sparkling lemonade next time, if there is a next time, and ice, and gin. With a slice of lemon stuck on the side of the glass.
I don't have a hangover, because I was smart with my water. I think I killed most of a 64oz bottle of water along with the drink. Which tells you how much water I do drink anyway, and also says that I don't like dehydration, especially not from alcohol. So I'm not having the full Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster experience, because I'm not feeling mugged the morning after, but ... I can do without that bit!
