Happy Pi Day! This round's on me. It is #EnigMarch, and each day the excellent EnigMarch people post a prompt word; then puzzle nerds try to design puzzles around that word. (Today's word is spirit. Kinda spooky.)

You might think the words below are just nonsense, but they're actually alcoholic spirits. Each has an additive mixed into it until it's nearly unrecognizable. Hopefully you can recognize them nonetheless. Combine the additives to find out what Ghostbusters do when they see a spirit.
