Useful mixology tips. Especially the part about cocktail weenies.... "In order to get the lady squeeze to try one, serve in a cocktail glass and make up a name. Something like 'Chicago blue mist' or 'Manhattan red sky'. There's a cocktail called a Manhattan and you never know, what you knock up might even share some common ingredients. This makes it sound like you knew what you were doing and haven’t just knocked up something foul. One tip though. Olives and cherries make a nice bit of decoration to a cocktail. Despite their name, cocktail sausages on cocktail sticks are not to be put in cocktails for decoration. It’s considered an error to put a small sausage in a drink."

I'm totally guilty of this, though I've gotten better since realizing I do it. From the article: "[People] anticipate that they’ll kick themselves later if they take second-best option and then see the best one is still available. But they don’t realize that regret can go the other way. They’ll end up with something worse and regret not taking the second-best one."
