(If you mix Everclear and cachaça, and omit to take two ibuprofen and drink a liter of water before going to bed, do not come crying to me next morning.)

Isn't doing this (drinking lots and taking ibuprofen) insanely bad for your liver? Such has been my impression, anyway.

I've also been told, but never tried doing this (I've always just used 100 proof vodka), that it's best to use just a small amount of Everclear--enough that you benefit from the increased flavor-stripping power of all that alcohol--and dilute with vodka (or vodka and water), since straight everclear has nasty congeners & the like. But clearly if it's worked for you, it works well enough.

Someone in the liqueurs thread asked about making cocktail bitters. This egullet thread contains enough and more than enough to get anyone started on it.

There's a fantastically obvious pastiche of "The River-Merchant's Wife" here, but I'll leave it to someone more talented. ("Please give me your bank details / And I will send by wire / Thirty million dollars".)
