Q: For cool fall days, are hoodies bastardly? What about this one from Alternative Apparel? —Chris
A: We've never been big fans of hoodies, unless of course you're a woman, a boxer, or still waiting to graduate from high school. They're like cardigans for kids.
Use the chart below as your hoodie (or cardigan)-wearing guide.
Place the sugar cube at the bottom of a lowball glass, add the fresh lemon juice, and mash with the back of a spoon. Fill two-thirds with ice and the gin and stir for at least 30 seconds. Add soda water, if desired, and give a quick stir. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
