New keyboards are so cheap. Why not treat yourself to one and forget about the whole ugly mess? Seriously, I don't know that keyboards are easily recoverable, once liquid has gotten into the switches that lie under the keys.

Wait, did you mean that the keys are only sticky on the *top*, but that they operate well enough? Dampen (but don't douse) some paper towel with window cleaner, and wipe the *inverted* keyboard (so that no fluid falls down into the mechanism) until the keys are no longer sticky. Tough break about the lost gin'n tonic. Hava nother one, and chill.
