Emily's "Use Up My Leftover Mixers" Cocktail:

3 oz of that weird gin that I'm trying to get rid of as fast as possible

2 ish oz of schweppes tonic water

Wanted to use more tonic water but that bottle ran out, so also used another 2 oz of fever tree tonic water

However much is left of that guava juice that i opened forever ago

Some orange juice leftover from when I was sick and I'm not going to drink it on its own but there's so much of it left still

At this point the glass is full, so drink some to make space in the glass for ice. When you taste it, realize there's something missing so just try throwing in whatever you've got lying around. My inspiration was "first things I saw on the top shelf of my fridge"

Like a little vermouth because i forgot what it tasted like so I took a sip and was like, yeah sure whatever

A few splashes of orange bitters because I'm so obsessed with it I've been adding it to every drink i make

#I DIDNT REALIZE UOU COULD GET BITTERS AT WALMART!!! i got the first bottle of just ''aromatic bitters'' whatever the fuck that means. #i got it at the liquor store and it was like $15 and then at walmart it was only $7 WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #so now i have both:) #for context. pennsylvanias liquor laws are INSANE like. one of the strictest states in the entire country #its gotten better recently but still not great like you can only buy hard liquor at state owned Fine Wine And Good Spirits stores. #but those stores CANT sell beer. #and then some places like grocery stores have recently been allowed to get a license that lets them sell beer and wine but only between #certain hours and they still can't sell any spirits #but anyway it all loops back to apparently walmart can sell bitters because theres a low enough alcohol content ? #and i think SOME walmarts have a license to sell actual alcohol but not the one near me. #emily.docx
