Out of bottles but have recipes I'm itching to make

submitted over 9 years ago by Clouds504

All my bottles are full but I have so many recipes I want to make tomorrow since I'm finally free for the day. I have 50 unicorn bottles on order but they haven't arrived! Do any of you use any weird or easily store bought things to mix in? I just started mixing a month ago and I am going crazy because I learn so much everyday from this sub and other fourms. I think about mixes all day long, it's really an awesome hobby that is so rewarding

Pop on down to the Home Depot and get you a nice big bucket.

But, in all actuality I love using the 100ml and 50ml fireball cinnamon liqueur bottles. they're flat and have a decently sized opening.

Genius. The top post when I looked at this was about going to a hobby store and paying a buck a bottle but my local liquor emporium has a dollar bin of airplane bottles for a buck each and they got booze in them.

Blue laws are dumb. I grew up in TN where a good portion of the world's whisky is made but you can't taste or buy it in Moore, Co. OTOH in MO where I'm at now they have those airplane bottles in big tri-wall boxes at WalMart just like they do with DVDs sometimes.

Check your local hobby stores. One near me sells 20ml plastic bottles for 1$ each. You'll pay more than online but that would be your best bet.

Make sure you buy LDPE, look on the bottom side of the bottles.. Inside of the recycling sign (triangle with arrows) there will be a #4.

They do have bottles in the paint section or u can go by where they have glass jars and they have glass bottles of all different sizes. Maybe u can find some baby food size Mason jars.

You could use small mason jars.

Mason jar shot glasses work in a pinch for testing recipes also!

I can only hope that you're taking the piss.

by abdadaover 9 years agoI will rip you a new one if you don't use the sidebar & search.

Amazon offers 2-hour delivery to me 7 days a week and usually bottles are included. Are you in a major Amazon hub?

Also, just mix in a nice glass cup and use a pipette to drip. Saran-Wrap to seal it off.

I mean you could probably find something that will do as a holding bottle for it til you get your bottles in.

Ahaha, yep, been there, done that!

I typically try to take it as a sign that I have too much juice and need to vape what I've got and just document what I want to do when I free up some bottles. A lot of times by the time I burn through what I've got, I'm craving something entirely different so it ends up good that I didn't make those things.

In a pinch I've used old commercial juice bottles, and old 120 ml PG/VG bottles. I've never been so desperate as to use my empty 120ml boston rounds, but I suppose I could get there one day.

Fortunately for me one of my local B&Ms also supports DIY, so in a real pinch I can drive over there and get some plastic dropper bottles.

Here i buy 100 ml serum bottles with dripper for 50 cents. Just throw it down the drain and let it sit overnight in warm water with salt and you are good to go
