@ellestad @cstross OK but milk punches are legitimately delicious

@tedmielczarek True, Milk Fined punches are delicious! A lot of work, but delicious.

Of course there are also those interesting Asian liquors with snakes and such, not to mention ye olde agave worm or scorpion in Mexican spirits.

Or, haha, Mezcal de Pechuga.
