Dropping Acid (nytimes.com)

I like to experiment with mixing drinks, and have always been a bit frustrated with the lack of sour ingredients. You basically have lemon/lime and bitters which are hard to find in variety and often citrus flavored anyways. So this should be pretty good to add variety, akin to making my own syrups and liqueurs. Awesome!


Try pure citric acid. It's the best (only?) way of adding sour without any unnecessary flavor.


Nytimes can screw themselves. Try hitting the page from an iPhone and you get a prompt to install flash. When are people going to get a clue.


Same prompt on a desktop computer running Firefox with Flash intentionally de-installed.

I de-install Flash because it tempts me to waste time, and even when I do not give in to a temptation, resisting the temptation expends mental resources (namely, executive function) I could have put to a better use.


I thought I was reading Hacker News?


Your title was very misleading. But the information that you wrote about was mildly informative and entertaining. Try to write about something really interesting and intelligent.
