Martini - but you'll have to buy some dry vermouth. Pour a little
vermouth into a rocks glass with ice, swirl it around, then pour
it out again. Fill with gin. Garnish with olive. Drink. Repeat.
Or gin-and-tonic, with a squeeze of lime.

Eggnog. Let's see:
8 eggs, separated
2 c sugar
1 pt cream
1 qt milk
1 pt brandy
1 c rum
Beat whites not quite to soft peaks, gradually adding sugar once
they start getting foamy. Beat yolks. Combine everything. Chill.
Garnish with freshly-grated nutmeg.
Or: cuba libre. That's a rum-and-coke with a squeeze of lime. My
SO adds a couple of dashes of Angostura bitters, but that's not
entirely traditional.
Or: brandy alexander. But you'll have to buy some creme de
cacao. Shake 1.5 oz brandy with 1 oz creme de cacao and 1 oz
half-and-half. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Drink.
Repeat.

Call the hazmat team and dispose of this safely.
