I’ve had some trouble finding Stirrings in my area. In the interest of keeping things local (to Mexico, that is), does anyone have opinions on Naranja orange liqueur?

marcus816's avatar

Just made the “Perfect Margarita” (and it was!) I had to substitute Grand Marnier since I had no Triple Sec (sad emoji) and used Blanco Suerte since that was what I had on hand. It is/was delicious! (Fired up the ganja also too. Life is good.)

Just can’t beat the classics (though I would have to say top shelf tequila and cannabis can improve then).

I just recently disovered the Revolver. It's 2 oz bourbon, 1/2 oz espresso liqueur, couple dashes of orange bitters, and garnished with orange peel. Stir with ice and strain into a coupe.

I do an espresso martini that is a 1to1 Mr Black and Flor de Caña 5yr. Real good.

Hi Hooper,

How do you scale up a recipe? I want to make a pitcher of Firing Squad for myself and 5 friends to honor the solstice. Thanks!

Mole Child of Cluelessness's avatar

based on his scale up for a manhattan from https://www.wonkette.com/p/welcome-to-the-wonkette-emergency

you would add 1/2 oz water per drink to make up for not shaking it, and stick it in the freezer overnight for cooling it. The rest is multiplication

I've already donated a painful amount of munnie to winnable House races, however it seems like getting voters to the polls is going to be the most important effort in this election, rather than candidates' paid ads.

Anyone have any recommendations for the most effective Democratic get out the vote organizations in the swing states?

Randy Bender's avatar

Here's some that I found, however I don't know how effective they are at maximizing the impact of donations. Anyone know?

Democrats need to get it in voters minds that it's steam effort. You've got to vote for the team every election for at least a decade. Voting every four yeard just won't cut it.

Quick trip to the store for Mrs PDL.

One cabbage, three cucumbers, one large bottle dish detergent.

Not sure what's going on in the kitchen.

Geez. If the Wordle country has been depicted any smaller, I wouldn't have seen it. Got it in 3 tries, anyhow.

Always Be Ithacating's avatar

Well done! I can't tell for sure, but my impression is that Worldle's algorithm for when and how to scale things needs a little work, consistency-wise.

Also too, microplastics are in semen. So, better living through chemistry?

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

Crap, I read that as "toxic PEAS."

Always Be Ithacating's avatar

Plant some peas in your yard very early in spring, a little more snow won't hurt them. After a few weeks, go out there early in the morning, while the sun is starting to warm, but you can still see your breath. Pick some of those peas and scarf them down them just standing there. You're welcome.

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

I thought the phrase was a deliberate tautology.

Thalia Is Not Amused's avatar

Well, my partner fell again this morning. He looked like he was doing better last night, too! So I'm writing this from the ER while he's resting and being monitored. His blood pressure is 84/37, yikes! Anyway, wish us luck that he won't have to get admitted and that he's feeling better soon!

Rooster Cogburn's avatar

With BP like that I would say be prepared for overnight

Thalia Is Not Amused's avatar

Yes, we just got the news. Definitely will be here overnight. Booooo!

Corvid Opera's avatar

All the best to you both.

SkeptiKC's avatar

I hope so much that this idiopathic hypotension your partner is suffering is more specifically diagnosed so that it can be appropriately treated soon. The fact of the matter is that if he keeps experiencing vertigo and passing out he's going to injure himself in a fall eventually.

I wonder if The Daily Beast wrote this headline just to troll Jacob Wohl?

"Hipster Coffee Shop Owner Destroyed Evidence in Sex Assault Case, Judge Says"

https://www.thedailybeast.com/hipster-coffee-shop-owner-brian-burnam-destroyed-evidence-in-sex-assault-case-judge-says?ref=home

The owner of a Brooklyn coffee and barber shop who was accused of sexually assaulting one of his former employees came under fire this week after a federal judge ruled he destroyed video evidence vital to an ongoing lawsuit.

Brian Burnam’s excuse for not preserving evidence after one of his employees at Cotter Barber sued him in 2019? He thought it was a gag.

We don't need another hero, okay, maybe just this last one.

mzf's avatar

While waiting at a light, I saw my first Cybertruck a few days ago. It looked horrible because the various side panels reflect all sorts of shade of metallic silver color in various directions because they are not aligned with respect to the ambient light; the thing looks like a hunk of junk. A second Cybertruck I saw a few days later looked just as bad.

Oblio's Cap's avatar

It was probably Elon, looking for sympathy.

Bobathonic's avatar

Or, you know. Looking for sex.

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

I don't think that even a Cybertruck would fuck Elon.

I'm sure there's at least one dissertation that could come from such a project.

Doug Langley's avatar

Well, I'm sure Mr "Free Speech" will approve this expression of personal opinion, right? Right???

Hamilton & The Crew's avatar

Well, I hope they find whoever did that. I want to send them a fruit basket and a nice bottle of bourbon.

Is it possible they just rusted in that pattern?

Things I say to the dog: "Do not try to play with Asshole Cat. He's armed. He is not swatting at you for fun."

Kay Ducky's foot hurts's avatar

I owned a 17 lb dog, Sandy (gods do I miss her) that would chase equally sized woodchucks back to their holes, but then still go after them like an idiot. Shoving her face in, teeth bared.

Like, They Have No Place Left To Go..!

She always came back hurt and needing attention. She died with so many scars on her snout.

eliz_'s avatar

My dog growing up never, ever got the memo on skunks. They are always going to spray you! And then you will endure multiple baths with various substances (tomato juice was the worst one back then) because you don't learn your lesson.

She did go after a rabid woodchuck once, but we got her indoors before there were serious injuries.

Kay Ducky's foot hurts's avatar

Oh yeah, my Sandy would also come back reeking and blinking her eyes like she was never going to see the same again. Never learned as well.

Dumb or stubborn. My family surname means stubborn and bitter, so that's where she must have gotten it from.

Codatussin Cough n' Cold Night Time for when you really want to trip balls.

It's almost as good as the Halibutatussin cough syrup.

Our secret Wonkette formula that turns us into super villains. Old stretchy paw there will destroy us all.

Oh. I already tried Preparation H but Simba told me that it tasted terrible.

I told my plastic surgeon the same thing about not wearing sunscreen. I simply stay out of midday sun. Some of us sweat a lot.

A warm bath, a glass of wine, and someone to talk to for a while sounds considerably more therapeutic to me, love.
