I recently saw an ad from a company selling all of the ingrediants then you put them together at home. It should be easily google-able...I would but I already have my bottle I bought a couple years ago and just waiting for a reason to pull it out.

It is very important it is prepared properly or else it can be a pretty nasty drink; but very unique and pleasing if done right. Even the dribbling spoon, sugar cube and ice cold water are extremely important parts and can't be left out or done out of order, so it's more of a ritual than a 'get drunk and screw' kind of thing.
then that's what i'm looking for, as long as it offers more than getting drunk, i mean i can walk like 4-5 blocks down the street and get a bottle ( a very sizable one at that) of very strong alcohol for 20 bucks, but i'm looking for more then that...
