But in all cases I try to gently deliver the message that "You'd sell way more of these if you made them right cuz they'd taste way better." We're cocktail missionaries, right? Hell yes we are - I think the Beachbum and Sven kickstarted the movement, and it's definitely up to us to evangelize what a good cocktail should be!
