I spose this should go into the mmd forum but it was to interesting to hide there.

hmm, seems like a strange use for tequila. But its proportions are just right for it. Who new.

Finally I can use all of those bottles sitting in my cabinet for something!!

I guess it is OK to drink some of the tequila while making the diamonds.

Wonder if the ratio of ethanol:water is the same in other hard liquors, or if tequila is the only one that can make diamonds.

Most non-sweet liquors have similar concentrations - I wonder if cognac makes brownish diamonds

At 2am Tequila can turn many an ugly thing into something of beauty, at least for a little while.

A big diamond can make a regular guy into a super-hero for a little while, too. It all makes perfect sense!!!
