A Nip of Elderberry Wine, Mr. Witherspoon?


"For a gallon of elderberry wine I take one teaspoon full of arsenic then add a half a teaspoon full of strychnine, and then just a pinch of cyanide". Yum-yum....yes, those dear little ol' ladies had a winning recipe for creating a tasty drink - one any gentlemen would be more than happy to make his last.
