Mixing a fair drink becomes a must-have skill when you hit the age of twenty-five. It doesnโt have to be elaborate, It doesnโt have to โwowโ on sight. All it has to do is present itself in a way that makes you want to drink it, as well as do its job as any alcoholic drink should. Simple yet significant, as Don Draper would say.
