Fluid over keyboard - a few sticky key caps

Hi, I spill some GinTonic on my keyboard (right lower part - L/P/ALT, Shift and the direction keys). Twisting the MacBook directly and drying/cleaning the keys kept it alive (don't think that the logic board got in touch with the fluid)... but around a day after, the mentioned keys are sticking (I think its the butterfly mechanism) from the dried tonic... any change to clean it or to change the impacted keycaps? Thanks in advance.

Do you think I should try at home or go to Apple and have them take a look at it?

I'd try at home first with the iso. Just be careful lifting the caps off
