All of the theme answers are names of cocktails...MarkWoychick wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 11:08 am I was thinking payments and drinking: “cash under the table” and “drink [someone] under the table.” All of the theme answers are names of cocktails, so I convinced myself that was the right path. I tried to connect the ingredients of the cocktails and all other sorts of nonsense that led to jumbles of letters.
A few lessons here (we’ll see if they are lessons learned in the coming weeks): 1) when you’ve dug yourself into a hole, put down the shovel! 2) look for precision/elegance in the answers. For example, there are many leprechaun variations (fuzzy, drunk, etc.) and different liquors used for top banana. This and the jumbles of letters I wrung from this process should have clued me in that this was wrong path.
I was able to get the answer with a nudge, but before asking for help, I should have stepped back and tried to look at it with fresh eyes.
Wow!
Had never heard of any of those four cocktails.
What a double entendre from Mike Shenk.
