WD40!
Slight accident last night, knocked remote for my new soundbar off the arm of my chair, it landed in my glass of DeBowie (a rather nice Polish lager). It didn't work after :-(
Removed the battery cover, battery the size of a 10p piece, sprayed WD40 inside & left overnight. Tried it today & it works a treat!
It repels water, so your drink must have been mostly water!

The more usual way is to wash out thoroughly in water then dry slowly in say an airing cupboard.
he said it was lager so probably 8% alcohol = 92% water
We do not have an airing cupboard in our house up north.
Why?
Oh I know, the angle grinder was in the van.
For now, wait for a while and the volatiles will have evaporated leaving behind a sticky insulating residue...
Hah. All that proves is that WD40 is less poisonous to electronics than Polish lager.
Reminds me of the old joke.
Drink varnish; it will kill you, but you get a lovely finish.
I'm told a bag of uncooked rice works well.
Good luck with that.

Talking of polish, silicon spray is almost impossible to get off.
Don't be silly!
There are no tools kept in the van overnight. :o)
it would have to be a very large bag of rice to get the sheets dry.
