FAQ

1. Buckley's is a Canadian cough syrup made with ammonium carbonate, which most Canadian's are familiar with. The products tag line was "It tastes like $#%*, but it works." Is it a drink? Well, it's more like a shooter, but it was put in the list for the humour value.

2. Wine of Pines is pineapple wine and was described by early explorers as "the drink of the gods". Consider it the "fruit wine" portion of the list.

51. I'm over half way there. #25 - Bubble Tea creeps me out and I don't think I'll be taking Canadian cough syrup - #34. I have been looking locally for orange bitters #35 and can't find them, which I think is odd. Some of these things I have no knowledge of, and a few are now on my Violet Hour list.
