Anyone have recommendations for shipping alcohol?

I've been shipping beer in medium flat rate boxes for a long time. My wife gets cases of wine by FedEx Ground, I just cut down the packing cardboard to fit in the USPS box. I then wrap the bottles individually in gallon-size ziploc bags--just in case they break there's a lesser chance of getting spillage everywhere--and pack it all in tightly with bubble wrap. Works great, and can usually get 2-3 22 oz bottles, or 5-6 12s in.

My issue so much isn't how to to package them as I'm confident I can pack the bottles well enough. My concern was more along the lines of how do you try to disguise something that would be easily detected as a liquid from the sound/feeling liquids make when a package is moved from the movement of liquid in a bottle. It would send up red flags if you don't allow virtually any liquid to be shipped. Therefore, my thinking is could I try to get a step ahead of the game and literally wrote FRAGILE: LAVA LAMPS on the outside for someone to not have any reason to suspect anything more and minimize my risk of it being opened.
