As far as a cocktail, I do like good wines, basically with meals, and good champagnes.

No party is complete without cocktails! My friends all have different tastes when it comes to their drink of choice, so I like to maintain a well-stocked bar with different kinds of alcohol to keep everyone happy.

A cocktail done right can really show your guests that you care.

By the time a bartender knows what drink a man will have before he orders, there is little else about him worth knowing.

I make work a bit like how you mix cocktails - with ingredients like budget, history and location.

Our profession is very much like going to a cocktail party, you check out the guest list.

There is something urbane, stylish, and worldly about owning a cocktail shaker.

I don't think 'Cocktail' was a perfect critical success, but it touched a vein in our culture.

Tequila. Straight. There's a real polite drink. You keep drinking until you finally take one more and it just won't go down. Then you know you've reached your limit.

I was a bartender for a long time, so I know how to make drinks, but I'm more likely to offer them than to have them. I think this is one of the reasons why I get to live longer than my great-grandmother did, and why I get to produce more writing than she did, and why my marriage isn't in dire straits.
