Fake O.F.C. whiskey colouring

[sff_corgi_lj]

This isn't perfect, partly because half the lighting in the kitchen is out right now, but this gets you close:

Per liter of water, using McCormick's food colouring drop-bottles:

2 drops Red
5 drops Chartreuse (from their 'Neon Colors' package)
8 drops Yellow

Blend well.

If anybody can fine-tune this for me, I'd be happy to read the input. :)

I like just using real whiskey instead. This has the added advantage of getting to drink it later.

Considering my mother polished off half the bottle before I got to it, and she just got it this afternoon, the idea is avoiding the real whiskey, actually.

When I was a kid, I made "Scotch" by blending Coca Cola and 7-Up/Sprite until I got the color right. Of course, the soda would have to go flat before it could be truly convincing, and when you are just muddling along like I was, you'd have to drink quite a bit before hitting the jackpot.

Dare I ask... What is O.F.C.?

I can only think of ... less-polite suggestions.

This is OFC, although I usually see it in an amber-brown glass or plastic bottle instead.

Don't ask me, I use weak room-temp tea for stage use.

If she's just polished off half a bottle, you might as well just water it, she'll never notice. :-(

Hugs, sweetie! [[[[[]]]]]

I'm trying to make sure I don't alter the taste; the whiskey seems to have a curiously green tone to it that's hard to catch, hence not-tea.

Additionally, I'm using the food colouring so she doesn't figure out I'm pouring .8L down the drain. If it gets too pale, she might get suspicious. Smaller amounts, I don't bother.

Thanks for the hugs.

It is... it is GREEN

Wotinhell is she drinking anyway, Creme de Meth?

Nevermind, just looked up your OFC link above.

Try a nice cheap bancha green tea, the twiggy cheap stuff.

Hmmm, worth a try. ^_^

I don't know how well it showed in the photo, but it's a very curiously cold amber shade, for want of a better description.
