WEEK 1

[You now know why you're here, Titled. The question now is, is there a way to get out of here without invoking the rules? What will those who brought you here do to get you to kill?

Time will tell.

There are fifteen strangers in this place.]

[The "translations" seem to center especially around liqueurs. Not that Joey would know what that means, necessarily, but after some careful reading, this is what, for example, is what the recipe for a Manhattan looks like:]

2 ½ oz Rye ("whiskey", use oz. cup)
1 oz Sweet Vermouth (<- think Adelhyde, oz. cup)
2 dashes Angostura (<- think Bronson Extract)

Stir with ice <- On the rocks (in mixing glass only), mixed
Strain into cold cocktail glass (memorize glass shapes!)
Serve with cherry.

[...Would Joey like to see what else there is?]

[It's faintly familiar, although she only recognizes half the names as she digs behind the bar to match words to ingredients. It reads like an annotated drinks book for someone who'd never seen alcohol before and wanted to make sure they got it right.]

[Who was this written for...?]

[Might as well check out other recipes. She's got nowhere to be at this point.]

[Here comes another example, then - this time a Hot Toddy:]

1 ½ oz Whiskey (<- think Flanergide, oz. cup)
1 Bar spoon Honey (<- actual spoon!)
4 oz Boiling water (<- use sink!)
½ oz Lemon (<- lemon juice, not a lemon, think Powdered Delta but with lemons!)

Combine all ingredients in coffee cup.
Garnish with lemon (actual lemon!!) side studded with clove and enjoy.

[incrediblystressedout]

Boiling water? Jeez, I thought I knew a booze scientist, but she's barely scratched the surface...

[Joey considers the book as a whole.]

Better hold onto this and see if anyone knows what any of these strange words mean. And stop talking to myself.

[Indeed, it's probably best to take this. Doesn't seem like anyone was using it much here, anyways, right?]
