“There’s … there’s a technique I use sometimes to focus. Five things I see, four things I hear, three things I touch, two things I smell, one thing I taste.”
The line between a fake accent slipping and a real accent code-switching. Like the way Jalna’s accent shifts to match Annie sometimes.”
EXTRA-DRY MARTINI 2 oz gin Stir over ice. Say the word “vermouth.” Strain into martini glass.
I am interested in cocktails because I like flavors and alcohol affects the way flavors evaporate or change in your mouth. It’s neat. I’m less excited about getting drunk so having zero-proof cocktails to switch to makes an evening more enjoyable. I prefer that term to virgin or mocktail because both of those seem like they are placing a value judgment on the drink.
I’m hoping that seeing the zero-proof drinks in here will give you things to order that are fun. My secret, if the bartender is not on the mixology god end of the scale, is to just ask for tonic and bitters with a lime.
