SHould be ok, it's anything with cream in it that won't be.Non me fac calcitrare tuum culi0

Very likely it's fine. Just taste to check.
If so I would think that a small slosh into any of the following would be fine: mincemeat/ pies, fruit salad, boozy oranges, trifle, fruit sauce, add to wine for mulling....
Most liquers last for yonks, if they are given the chance! hic.....cupBeing polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

I found the perfect use for our old booze, which included some stuff cleared out when my Nan went into a nursing home and I 'inherited' stuff bought decades earlier.
Our DS went to University in September and I gave it all to him.Students don't care. They like booze and are usually skint. If they don't like the taste or they think that they're probably better off not drinking it neat, they'll mix it with something - anything, hence last night DS was drinking vodka mixed with apple squash (cordial), even he said it was horrible but he continued to drink it......... He'd gone over budget the night before and was waiting for his mate who'd got a £1 each entry to a club with a free bottle of 'champers' and this was his pre-drinks.
Find someone with a student child and pass it on.0 -
They sound like the bottles which circulate endlessly in our village fete raffles year after year and get regifted back as tombola prizes!
Possibly good for using as an overnight loo cleaner, or pouring in saucers in the garden during the growing season to kill slugs?0 -
I won't use any wine for cooking that isn't fit to drink.
But that's just me (and Keith Floyd).
I think that's probably because Keith Floyd worked on the adage 'I like to cook with wine, sometimes I put it in the food!' :rotfl:
It won't help OP because her DH is intolerant but generally it's OK to use any dry wine in cooking.0 -
anyone know how long orange liqueur lasts its been opened, but its at the back of the cupboard and it's not something I really drink.Pretty ancient at least 4 years old if not older I just hate chucking things down the drain
Triple sec can add zing to so many things - try it in a salad dressing?Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Mix some in with some orange slices when cooking a beef casserole . Beef and orange casserole is very tasty.0

The bug that makes vinegar is everywhere and making vinegar at home will have no effect on other alcohol stored in the house. You might as well say, don’t bring fruit or flowers into the house as it will turn your wine to vinegar!
I was, as you rightly point out, being inaccurate!
I wasn't meaning the general yeasts & spores that turn wine into vinegar. That kind of vinegar isn't very usable (unless you're lucky!)
I was thinking of the 'vinegar mothers' that used to be handed around at one time (going back many, many years) to make good vinegar.
They were rather unmanageable, and my grandmother kept hers at the top of the garden.
I haven't thought about them in years!0 -
Hi
Pour your orange liqueur into a clear glass or jug to check it, I found an open bottle of gin in my cupboard and it had a samll blob of something hairy in the bottom of it
