Sure! Here’s one that works fairly well, but it looks like you don’t have gin or something, so maybe you’d prefer my “generic liquor cocktail recipe” posted earlier.

1.5 oz gin

¾ oz simple syrup (1 part sugar, 1 part water)

¾ oz lemon juice

mix everything together, strain into chilled glass

(Thanks to su3su2u1 for introducing me to this trick)

That sort of sounds drinkable

hey look it’s my favorite response to alcohol-related requests

I am going to drink this in the hopes that a martini glass will crash into my face and kill me instantly
