How to make a fancy drink?

ANSWERIt depends on what you mean by a fancy drink.The distinction between a cocktail and a sling drink was lost mid century, but a cocktail was what the elite would drink. A cocktail was any mixed drink made with bitters. (Old Fashioned for instance)Now a fancy drink would be a mojito, flavored martini, or any number of new or revitalized drinks.ANSWERIngredients: 1. Kool-aid 2. Lemon Juice 3. Lime Juice 4. Evan Williams Alcohol 5. Sugar 6. Mango 7. Wineglass 8. Small Straw Making the drink: Put sugar on a plate and wet the rim of the wine glass, then dip the wineglass in the sugar. Add 3 tsp of Evan Williams Alcohol. Then add [an indeterminate amount] of Kool-aid; use more or less to adjust tartness. After that, add 2 tsp of lime juice and 2 tsp of lemon juice. For the topping, put a slice of mango on the glass. Stir, and have fun with the drink. (This will not get you drunk!!!)


Does alcohol freeze?

well alcohol has a lower freezing temperature than water. Therefore it can go below 0 degrees celsius or 32 Fahrenheit and still be liquid. (Well for harder liquor anyways--not beer, it will freeze) But i think it will still be fine.
