So last summer the wife and I decided to stock a home bar. Went out spend a few hundred dollars on booze. I like Apple martini's so we bought apple sour puss. I'm new to making martini's, we had a handful of people over one night and got ####tered while make drinks with our new bar stash. A few days later we were making more martini's and my wife commented on how the sour puss looked lighter and was questioning if one of my friends watered down the sour puss. I was like no way doesn't make sense. My wife isn't a fan of the sour apple booze and once summer came to a close I stopped making martini's so the bottle slowly made its way to the back of our cupboard.

Fast forward to tonight. The wife and I are sitting at the bar of a local pub. She see's the sour puss and brings up how the bottle we have at home is way lighter and the one at the bar looks alot darker. So she again accuses my friend of watering down. I'm like whatever, I doubt it, its the same shade of green I'll prove it to you at home.

We get home, and I go to our cupboard to prove her wrong and dig around for the sour puss. The sour puss is completely clear. The bottle is about 40% full and there is not even a hint of green. I go to open up the bottle and the cap is very sticky while opening, like it hasn't been opened for awhile. So I honestly believe it hasn't been opened since the summer time.

I've personally never bought a bottle of Apple Sour puss in my life untill thos one. I've only ever ordered apple martinis at the bar. Is it normal for apple sour puss to turn completely clear? Growing up I watered down my parents booze, but it never turned completely clear before, is there a chance that watering down this type of booze makes it turn clear? Has anyone had something like this happen before? Is it a temperature storage problem? I've google'd it and didn't come up with anything. What would you do in this situation? It still smells like apple. I haven't tasted it yet. Would you keep the bottle and just use it? It seems really messed up to me.
