The Perfect Drink (If You're Over Twenty-One)


To make the perfect alcoholic nip,
Follow this one itty-bitty tip.

Grab a glass, invite over a friend,
Stick to this list until you reach the end.

Gin and tonic with a shot of rum
(Skip the tonic if you haven't some).

Vodka, Scotch, the single malt's the best,
Cognac, whiskey add some lemon zest.

Some tequila, just a shot or three,
Triple Sec, Schnapps, and Campari.

Jagermeister, all that you have got
Vodka, bourbon, at least half a bot.

Sake, amaretto, cognac,
If you've got some sitting in the back.

Top it off with absinthe and Vermooth
A cup of sugar for a sweeter tooth.

Stir it well and pour it down the sink.
Grab a beer and have yourself a drink.

Cognac is three syllables, like con-ee-ack.
