Exquisite Turmoil

Well, that time of year is approaching — that time of year being time to make up an enormous batch of Irish Cream for Christmas! It has to set in the fridge for a good long while, so I’d best get a move on and get to mixing, or else it won’t be ready for the holidays! I’m thinking about giving out a few bottles as gifts this year, since it always seems to be popular. This, however, leaves me with a problem. Bottles! I just can’t seem to find any that I like.. I’m particularly fond of swing-tops (like you’d see on a Grolsch bottle, for anyone who doesn’t know), but all of the bottles I am finding with swing-tops are small, and I’m definitely thinking that 32oz or so is needed in order for it to be a decent gift. Everything I have been able to find is ridiculously expensive. I have no intention of paying like $12 for a bottle. I could practically just buy someone a bottle of Bailey’s for that. Not that I think Bailey’s is as good as my Irish Cream, but I’m sure you get the point. Well, I’ve still got some time, hopefully I’ll come across something both affordable and attractive.
