Being half in the bag already I decided to see what I could come up with by combining some of the lesser used items in the liquor cabinet. Here's how it played out:
Me opening liqour cabinet doors: "I'll try some Canadian Whiskey, a little chep blended scotch, and some vodka."
Combine 1 jigger Canadian, 1 pony scotch and 1 pony vodak with 1 pony fresh lemon juice and thre dashes of bitters.
Me after combining said ingredients: "I think we'll need something to sweeten this up a bit. I'll try a pony of apricot brandy"
add 1 pony of apricot brandy to the above then shake with ice and strain into a rocks glass with more ice
This did not turn out well. Surprisingly, my fix was to add a splash more scotch for some depth of flavor to cancel out the lemmon and a splash of soda water to add a bit of effervesence to bring to bring out the aroma.
I wasn't about to let the booze go to waste so I finished the drink but it's not something I'd recomend.
this went completely awry

Re: this went completely awry
I've also tried horrible stuff like that. sometimes there's just something that seems impossible to get rid of. My bottle of red vermouth was left at the house I moved from. Right now I have blackberry brandy. The only good use seems to be a tequila sunset

Re: this went completely awry
The further you got into the drink, the more palatable it became.
Am I right?
Cuz most of the time booze is magical that way.
