Dear NyQuil,
Did you know your product makes a superior replacement choice for grenadine in most cocktails? The other night I was making some Tequila Sunrises for some friends, only to realize, after it was too late, that I was out of grenadine. Instead of allowing this to ruin the evening, for my friends and I, a simple bottle of NyQuil Cough syrup saved the day (evening actually)! Don't worry, I was ethical about this. I told most of them.
Alcohol kills germs, orange juice helps fight a cold, and NyQuil makes things a bit better! There are over 500 drinks made with grenadine. Think of this untapped market. A recipe book extolling the virtues of using NyQuil Cough syrup instead of grenadine would make the stuff fly off the shelves. Now people can go out and party even while not feeling well or with a cold.
I can't believe it took me this long to discover this! If you do come out with a NyQuil cocktail book, could you please send me one?
Thanks,
Christopher L. Jorgensen

My reaction:
Never happened. Total lie. Or more accurately mostly a lie. I did have to take a shot of NyQuil around the time I wrote this letter. Tasted a bit like sloe gin or the above mentioned grenadine. I did think at the time that it wouldn’t make a bad mixed drink. Seems like a really bad idea though. If you do decide to try this I will not be held responsible. Hell, I’m not even responsible for my own actions (at least that’s how the courts have ruled).
