libitina - top five beverages you wouldn't make for yourself

(Assuming this means "because they're a lot of work" rather than "because you hate them"? If it's the latter, you can fill the entire list up with Things With Mint In Them.)

5. Kahlua and cream. Similar to the way I have difficulty making pizza with the amount of cheese that I actually want on pizza, I would have a hard time pouring myself half a cup of cream.

4. Homemade eggnog. Same issue plus raw eggs.

3. Sonic's cherry limeade. How many bottles and cans am I going to open just so I can have what amounts to a custom-made flavored Sprite?

2. Punch -- the regular church-basement kind with the blot of lime sherbet bobbing and fizzing in a bowl of pop. A couple of years ago I got a craving for it, but then I made the mistake of reading the ingredients on the ginger ale and the lime sherbet, and it grossed me out, so I attempted it with some schmancy all-natural pop and lemon sorbet, and it was predictably not worth drinking. Someone else has to make it for me so I can pretend I don't know what's in it.

1. A mocha. You're looking at a person who once lit a gas grill with the instruction book still inside it. In no way is it safe for me to operate an espresso machine.
