None of the cocktails were real. All dressed up by stylists with dye, silicone “ice,” and some kind of magic mist spray to frost the glass. Took a sip once by accident. Can still taste the chemicals. But we shouldn’t complain.  Jon Hamm had to smoke a lot of fake cigarettes. Something like 75 in the pilot alone.   The Mixer This is the happiest city in the world, new data shows.
