Pot Likker, Part 2

[realexplodingcat]

Remember my experiment with pot liquor? After one month of regularly drinking pot liquor the only thing I have to show for it is the appearance of a straw fedora in my wardrobe. A cheap one, at that. So, I guess it's working. It's turning me into a southern gentleman. Just very slowly.

I must execute a more drastic plan to expedite the process. I intend to continue using the recipe I posted previously. However, I will replace the several cups of fresh water required for the recipe with several cups of pot liquor reserved from previously cooked greens. I will continue to recycle this pot liquor over and over and over, for several thousand separate pots of boiled greens, for as long as it takes to create a super dense pot liquor. A pot slurry, if you will. Then, I will make an alcohol solution combining my pot slurry with kentucky bourbon. It shall be a potent tincture. Only a few drops under the tongue should be enough to turn any damn yankee into a southern gentleman in less than a New York minute.

Ferment and distill the pot likker into pot likker liquor?

Though it's for the noblist of causes, the thought of using bourbon for such an experiment, well.... It's not to be condoned.

Perhaps I should substitute moonshine for the bourbon.

Bourbon is moonshine that's been aged in charred oak barrels. :)

I'll drink to that!
