When life gives you lemon twists
Cocktail enthusiasm has a number of advantages. You can make parties, holidays and pretty much anything else that happens within 50 feet of liquor a lot more fun. You can unlock knowledge to impress dates or embarrass poseurs who are clouding your valuable bar space with misinformation.
But it’s not always easy. Not for you and not for whoever you’re close to. There will be nights when you have to explain why you just had to make a special outing for a bottle of small batch bitters. You may have to negotiate for shelf space that would otherwise be taken up by food. And you may have to explain why you keep buying citrus fruits and only using the peels. That mangy-looking orange you left sitting around after Old Fashioned night doesn’t win you any favors the next morning. Sometimes you can make the most of it. Sometimes you can squeeze out the juice for another drink or use it in a recipe (cooking can also create valuable shelf space by using up food). But sometimes there are no options. Sometimes there’s no explanation. Sometimes you have to save face. Sometimes you have to prove you’re not wasteful. Sometimes you have to eat a lemon.
