Scraping the back of the liquor cabinet for something to drink in a pinch means you're usually in a pretty grim spot. Although it could be you're just looking for a way to get rid of those bottles of whatever you've been carrying around with you for years. Here's a couple ideas for things to do with swag booze in a piece I wrote for Stuff.
What's in your liquor cabinet these days? No, seriously, what is that stuff in there? I've got bottles of, like, peanut-butter-infused sherry and schnozberry-flavored vodka stacked behind rows of bottles so generic they seem like they should have question marks on their labels: "Brandy?" Then there are the more reputable spirits that you don't necessarily know what to do with, bottles that a friend brought for that New Year's party, for example, or out-of-fashion spirits left over from before you started reading this magazine and learned how to have good taste.
Such situations present the home drinker with a conundrum: you don't really know how to utilize this stuff (or whether you should even want to), but you also can't bring yourself to throw booze away. That's a mindset left over from our ancestors' days as cave-drinkers, when, anthropology tells us, quality spirits were dreadfully hard to come by.
So what about that bottle of peach schnapps? Is it useless unless you're planning on partying with the 16-year-old version of yourself after school today? Maybe not. Read the rest at Stuff.
