@mikehooker - not knocking you, but that pernod bottle...well I just hope you don't make a drunken mistake and get some pernody contacts haha.

Last night I finally made Nutty Like A Fruitcake.

Ha! I originally put the tape and name in big letters on the bottle for photo ops so people wouldn't wonder why the hell I'm putting contact solution in my drinks but now that you mention it, it's probably a good precautionary measure.

For what it's worth, I've found the mini contact solution bottle is a super effective way of managing the drops of pernod. It's compact and simpler than using an eye dropper with the big bottle and having to clean that every time. It'll catch on, just you wait.

What did you think of the Fruitcake? I think it's a pretty decent drink. I used Koloa as my spiced which has a very distinct and powerful flavor. I imagine using any other spiced rum will have vastly different results.
