Ah, Jeopardy! I wish I’d actually bothered trying out for college Jeopardy when they stopped by my alma mater, but I recall that being a ridiculously hellish day. Oh, well. I can live vicariously through the contestants now by shouting inane questions at the TV screen and showing up my girlfriend.
Friday’s episode of Jeopardy had the category “Potent Potables”. I simply didn’t know the $1600 question, and the $2000 question didn’t come to me in time. Argh!
Answers:
- $400: If 007 is coming over, better read the book “Shaken Not Stirred: A Celebration of” this cocktail.
- $800: In Cockney rhyming slang, this liquor is a “gay & frisky”.
- $1200: Searching for fine tequila? Look for a label that says it’s 100% this color agave.
- $1600: This word for a sweetened mixture of rum, beer & beaten egg can also mean a turned-up hairstyle.
- $2000: A Harvey Wallbanger just won’t have the right bang without this yellow liqueur.
