    I’d want a dna test to find out whose child they really were.

    £18 a bottle though. I'll probably stick to gin. Or meths (colourless of course, I'm a sofistikated guy).

    Seedlip is the more common alcohol free gin but there are others cropping up. I don't touch the stuff myself!

    Aldi do a colour change gin, McQueen, which wasn't bad. Or, buy peaflower extract (C.ternatea as noted above) and add it to a beverage of your choice. Obvs works best in colourless spirits to which you'd add a colourless mixer...

    I think I'll stick to the fancy coloured mouthwash, tastes about the same. They do that in non-alcoholic form too.

    You realise this is a contractors forum?
    Yeah. And this is Switzerland. So it turns out that, excluding delivery, it's cheaper! Anyway, I've ordered two bottles. And they'll send the bill with the order with ten days to pay.

    How I love living in a civilised country.

    We can get a lavender gin that changes colour, for £40 per 0,5l. Of course, we can make our own for about at total of £15'000 and a commitment to make 2500l a year.
