My goal is not to live an aseptic life.
I mean I am glad that they make an effort to keep things clean but if I am drinking alcohol in public I am not going to be worried by anything less then dead vermin in the drink.

its all bad and needs to be limited for the MASSES
the EXEMPT ELITE will still get their lemon slice
of course
the PEONS will have to do without a lemon slice
but the EXEMPT ELITE will still live in mansions and fly on private jets

Is there any hope for an article filter on FR? In particular, I would like to mute/block/omit any "climate change" garbage. It's a waste of network bandwidth and disk storage.

Meh. If you drink Dirty Martinis, as I do, the best part is eating those Vodka-soaked olives at the end!
Top Shelf Vodka Martini, Please! Straight up. Shaken, not stirred. Dirty. Extra olives.

Four, I’m under my host.” ~ Dorothy Parker

That there is a pretty impressive effort to excuse just being lazy.
To: nickcarraway
What a crock.
No mention of the “climate impacts” (not to mention “bank account impacts”) of all the foo-foo machinery (dehydrators, etc.) just to be able to virtue-signal for a small subset of customers. The machinery and the electricity to run them didn’t just spring forth from the mind of Zeus.
Garnishes are part of the drink. A Manhattan w/o its garnish is an incomplete and failed attempt at that libation.
Redoubling the garnishes on my cocktails just to make up for this foolishness...

From the same site:
Everything You Need to Know About Making Cocktail Garnishes At Home
Money quotes:
"Beattie and scores of bartenders believe that the garnish is not an afterthought. That it should enhance or directly complement an aspect of any drink. "Garnishes should be cut or prepared fresh daily," he says, "[they should] be in pristine condition when introduced to a particular cocktail." "
""Not adding a garnish to a cocktail is like building a house without a ceiling...""
