 How to make better cocktails at home

There’s a difference in how everything tastes when we try it at home, and when we eat outside. Cocktails are also the same. The cocktail you love at your favorite bar may not taste the same at home. After all, the bartender didn’t refuse to share the cocktail recipe. He knew that you wouldn’t be able to craft a perfect cocktail. But here, we got some tips so you can try your best cocktail recipes…

It's not a night out without Maybe Mae in the mix.

Honestly, it doesn't matter how long it's been or who is on staff, this place is absolute perfection from the playlists to the atmosphere.

The cocktails are some of the best you'll ever taste and the mixologists can do absolutely everything under the sun.

Bill Murray is the starter drink of champions. Can't recommend highly enough. Don't worry, even if you're not a whisky drinker it's still perfect. Seriously! Just try it.

They really shine on a traditional Gimlet too. Honestly, it's the best in Adelaide. I've tried a lot of Gimlets. None come close to these. Warning, they're tart and refreshing. Not for a sweet tooth drinker. I'm sure one will make an appearance tonight. It's inevitable.

Happy responsible drinking.

Cheers!

while in other fandoms mpreg is mainly written as angst or fluff, in laios' case it would be HORROR. like he's terrified of having children? and also a baby is nurtured by his parent's body???

Is there a 300 page essay about Murderbot's armor (specifically the opaque helmet) as a not-so-subtle metaphor for masking in a clearly neurodivergent character already? Because I need it.

The way Murderbot is unvoluntarily without its opaque armor in All System Red in front of the crew (i.e. unmasking) and appears surprised at its own strong facial expressions and other people's reaction to it? The vulnerability that comes with that and how Murderbot spends pretty much the rest of the book wearing or actively missing its armor which keeps it safe from the mortifying ordeal of being known (yet sometimes other characters suggest it might help for it to not opacify the helmet in order for others to see it as a person and to trust it (and in the end idk if it would have achieved the rewards of being loved by its humans and have had its needs met if it hadn't unmasked in this relatively safe environment sometimes)).

Also there's the whole avoiding-looking-directly-at-people-and-using-drones-instead thing which Murderbot usually hides using the opaque helmet, but whenever it doesn't have that people notice it and many react negatively/confused. I think that's a whole neurodivergent-applicable situation in and of itself? Like damn

And then Mensah encourages Murderbot not to wear armor on Preservation station since it would not need it there, Murderbot is hesitant but ends up not wearing any (like 4 books later when we finally get to that bridge) (going for the comfortable clothes it chose for itself instead, with very strong feelings about the whole being able to make choices thing that I cannot go into further at this point because I would absolutely end up BITING SOMETHING OR SOMEONE).

And I'm not going to advocate for unmasking all the time in any setting because hell no, sometimes it absolutely sucks and people are irritated by Murderbot's now visible quirks and are afraid of what they don't know, but many GET TO KNOW Murderbot better and because there are other people that make sure Murderbot is safe and respected and are willing to get people fired for it if they disrespect it (Pin-Lee my beloved) Murderbot can experiment with this situation without being exiled to some abonded part of a planet and other people are forced to spend enough time around ot to learn to respect it and even like it. I just....... It must be so scary and Murderbot is handling so much at once and in this essay I will

PS sorry this is a disorganized mess but so am I and I have so many Thoughts and even more Emotions and so little patience.
