It's the ritualistic dance of sourcing, preparing and combining all the varied ingredients. The making of the drink is as enticing as actually drinking it. It's the foreplay before the the consumation. It's not a matter of simply flipping off a non-descript bottle cap or pouring soda into a shot of soulless gin. But rather it is a high mass of imbibery. Conversly, making a good tropical drink is a pain in the ass. Which is probably a good thing in that its time-consuming construction limits its production which greatly decreases brain cell destruction. "Excuse me waiter!
