Allright - just a couple more questions! I keep on hearing thing after thing 
about schnapps - peach schnapps especially. What do you think of it? Also - 
I'm not familiar with kahlua, Grand Marnier, or Rose's Lime Juice. What are 
they? And what about grenadine? Did you just forget to add it? I had always 
understood it be be an essential. Thanks again,

Mike
