@fandom-hopping I had to rename the HSDs because the meaning behind the first two letters made it redundant-

I brainstormed and then-

Dude I TRIED to contain my inner chaotic thoughts, but they kept eddying around the idea of Wendy Handlebar cuddling them against their will.

But then-

*I had a headcanon that all drones have material generation (Uzi and Thad healed +all EMP’d drones heal from fried circuits, and Uzi sweats, all in the first episode), so I felt like all drones had a material generation program for that general stuff, and all that needs to be done for more “biological features” is changing the parameters. But that’s really uncommon in non-disassembly drones because disassembly drone solvers automatically allow it. But also, that means that the actual pod-egg things for PSDs are freaking tiny because:

Rosa (left) is a standard worker drone. Aka around Uzi’s height. These moth-like drones are freaking tiny.

[Brook (right) has two wings, I just needed to draw one for the example of it/]

When I was young, and just starting out with this, I remember reading a bunch of articles telling me I needed ten different glasses for a home bar. That is the most insane thing I have ever, in my life, heard. I don’t have ten different glasses NOW, and I actually think my bar is a little bit overdone. There are plenty of glasses that can do double duty, and some that require specialty glasses can actually be served with little trouble in one of these all-rounders. Now, if you love margaritas and want to make them every other week? Go ahead! Absolutely buy margarita glasses! I own a very fancy Glencairn whiskey glass made of thick ‘crystal*’ that actually has my name engraved on it, because I love tasting whiskies and making notes on them and comparing them. But it’s a specialty glass, and I own exactly one, because it’s just for me. Same with my unspeakably fancy martini glass. I love martinis, but I’m the only one in the family.

So! This is focused on the four glasses, and one of them is even slightly optional, that will make your bar capable of serving something like 80% of the cocktails out there without any appreciable drop in quality or even look! I plan on showing you how to make a cocktail look elevated and sexy--I know that garnishes month seems boring, but we’ll get you some flair that will impress guests and also, help you give yourself a sense of occasion--even if all you have is these four glasses.

In this series, I will never ask you to make a cocktail that can’t go in one of these four glasses.
