  • If a drink calls for a twist of lemon or lime peel, this means just the peel, not the fruit. The outermost part of citrus fruit contains oil that releases intense flavor. When a drink recipe calls for a twist, take a sharp knife and cut a small piece of the rind. Rub the rind around the rim of the glass to release some of the oil, the twist the piece f peel over the drink before dropping it in. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

  • Forget hair of the dog, if you've overindulged try a glass of club soda with about 1/2 teaspoon of Angostura bitters mixed in (bitters are an ingredient in many cocktails that have an herbal flavor). It takes away that queasy feeling (even the kind associated with stage fright, which is why Sam first prescribed). Sam, bartender at Hollywood's famous Magic Castle new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
