Hey Bartenders ...
Squeeze the lime.
Squeezethegoddamnlimeintomydrink! Or, kindly set it on the rim of the drinking vessel—have some class, dude. Making people fish fruit out of icy five dollar liquid is not cool.
Bars shouldn't just be conduits of booze—pride should be taken in the creation of drinks. Might our city's lackadaisical bartenders take a hint from Tales of the Cocktail. This conference, held every summer in New Orleans, celebrates the grand tradition of coquetiers, pronounced koh-kuh-TYAYS. July being far off, another, less humid option is The Craft of the Cocktail, a book that claims to make master bartenders out of its readers.
Anyway, squeeze the lime, OK?

You can squeeze a lime.. [ Wed Nov 18 2009 10:07 PM ]
..but you can't unsqueeze one.
That's why leaving it to the drinker is the right thing to do.- Jessica

If you order a drink in which lime juice in a known ingredient, then squeeze the lime.- Jenn-tastic

Garnish [ Mon Nov 23 2009 2:16 AM ]
I like an ice cold Bloody Mary garnished with boiled shrimp, celery, a bell pepper slice, a red onion slice, a lemon wedge, a lime wedge, and a skewer with alternating pickled onions and pepperoni slices. And a nice sprinkle of celery salt on the ice.
