I actually enjoy mixing drinks. It's starting to be another one of those things that I have a tough time with when I'm "out and about". Most of the time, bartenders don't do as good of a job as I can (for my own, and my family's, tastes).
I'm currently in a show based on Jimmy Buffet's "Margaritaville". Of course, machine made 'ritas are available in the lobby. I wanted to add Hurricanes. A hurricane is like a 7 step build with a whole lotta fruit juice. Rather than take 5 minutes to build each one, I blended the rums in one pot and the fruit juices in another. One ladle of the rum mix, two of the juice mix, shake, and dump into a cup!
It's my way of helping the audience suffer through my singing.
