“ What you drink tells you who you are,” magazines like Esquire love to impart in that Esquire-ian way, but I don’t need a drink to tell me who I am. My wife is more than happy to do that. I just need a good cocktail—a fallback I can order anywhere and can make myself. Something strong but not debilitating. Familiar but not ordinary. Fun but not foolish, classy but not pompous. I refuse to be the guy who orders something so obscure he has to show the bartender the recipe.
