Its a great show, and to me the drinks are better, maybe due to aeration happening when the drinks are mixed with ice in a shaker, the sound of ice in a shaker, the look of a drink in a proper glass & having the smell of a mint garnish. All the senses are at work here! And you will definitely talk to all your guests. I miss having kick_the_reverb making a reverb crash, dr. z making a beach bums own, Al-ii making his mai tais, & martiki making anything! Good Times.... just my two cents. TBird.
