“What’s good here?” is a question bartenders get often, but the answer is usually conditional. If the bar is particularly busy it doesn’t make sense to offer something complicated. If the customer seems finicky it isn’t wise to expand their tastes too far, lest you end up with a request for a remade drink.

When we’re drinking less or not at all, how do we get over that long-baked belief that alcohol = holiday indulgence, celebration, and largesse?
