You ever just throw random bits of leftover booze into a glass and it actually taste good?
Recently I had a bottle of Aperal (can't even remember why I bought it in the first place) a few once of tequila, cranberry juice, and a lime.
1oz Aperal and 2oz tequila into a rocks glass with ice. Top with cranberry juice and squeeze a lime wedge. It was actually good! No fire required. I haven't found an existing drink so I've been calling it Scarlet Rot because of Elden Ring.
Care to post your own patent pending recipe?
Cheers

I took one once of whisky, some ice, then more whisky. Turned out nice. I highly recommend it.
Everyone knows that whisky goes good with more whisky. Looking for originally! Given the choice between whisky and my condition I'd take the whisky. As the Marines say - improvise, adapt, overcome

One day I bought a sausage pizza to eat in my car. The vehicle had an antifreeze leak, which would sometimes burn onto the motor and look like it was on fire. This gave me an idea because it smelled like maple syrup, so I brought the pizza home and tried it. Was delicious

That does sound good! Getting the sweet and savory flavors going

As long as it’s booze
 
A few homemade tweaks to a bourbon sour on the rocks is good -

Mix 2 parts quality bourbon, few dashes of bitters, 1 part lemon or lime (depends what you like), 1/2 part simple syrup, 1/2 part pomegranate juice and pour into a chilled glass with a decent amount of ice. If you want to break it down then add a bit of club soda or lemonade, that or grow a pair. Also good with a cherry to finish after being at the bottom of the glass while you sipped away.

One of the first time I drank we raided my friend's parent's dusty old liquor cabinate and poured a bit from each bottle there so they wouldn't notice. We wrote down the mix and called it I believe an "Old Crow"?

It was so nasty, mix of whisky, gin, vodka etc. LOL

In the first lockdown I made a dedicated quarantini with a bit of everything in the fridge. Was mostly fine apart from the milk, which seemed to separate and just looked horrible. Would not drink again.

IIRC it was gin, vodka, cranberry juice, coke, tonic water and milk.

Not exactly on topic but, this reminds me of a time when I was in my early 20s, went to a bar, and had a Long Island Iced Tea. I don't know what goes in it, but apparently a bunch of shit.

After drinking it, I told the bartender that it tasted weak, that there didn't seem to be much alcohol in it.

I then proceeded to get off the bar stool to go to the bathroom, and fall face first onto the floor with a thundering slap not unlike a large, inebriated water balloon.

Points for creativity and bravery but seriously milk?!

I consider myself a seasoned drinker but long island iced tea scares me and I don't plan to face that fear lol

Our nickname was "rocket fuel", mix it all in an empty coke or sprite bottle and carry around in your backpack while riding your BMX. Pro tip: don't forget to slightly top up your parents liquor bottles with water, especially Vodka.
 
My own little creation which has buckled knees and sat people on there arse. I was a terrible binge drinker in my college days, but seldom drink nowadays maybe one or two Gin and slimline tonics at Christmas.

A mix of the following in a pint glass of equal measure.

Strongbow
Stella Artois
Absolut Vodka
Jack Daniels
Smirnoff Ice
