If memory serves me correctly, I think it was Sheldon that
posted this cool recipe. So what I'd like to know is, would
vodka work and what is Curaçao - probably a liquor - but
what flavour. I went out and bought a raspberry liquor that
someone mentioned in this ng and it was ghastly. I just
don't want to repeat that mistake. Much thanks. E.
