When you’re done preparing your taxes—don’t try this during the process—here’s a fine way to reward your hard work. I used to pop a bottle of champagne soon after I tucked my calculator away, but for several years I’ve been making an Income Tax Cocktail of my own design. It’s fun and miraculous as a trauma-reducer. After two of these, I think paying taxes is a good thing.
