Episode notes
Simple Cocktail Ratio Trick
- Stephen demonstrates a simple visual measure for cocktail ratios: three bottom fingers for liquor and the top finger for mixer.
- Use that tiny top-finger move to add just a splash of mixer and preserve cocktail balance.
Stephen’s Old-Fashioned Recipe
- Stephen describes his old-fashioned recipe using Luxardo cherries, cherry syrup, candied orange rinds, and a quality bourbon with one big ice cube.
- He adds a small splash of soda water because the large ice cube melts slowly and needs a little life.
Look Actively To Find Lost Items
- When looking for lost items, Evie actively searches and finds things Stephen misses when he only glances.
- Adopt active searching behaviors like checking pockets and shelves rather than assuming an item is gone.
