Lefty says "Hey, y'know, now that you've got these incredible cocktailcrafting skills, maybe you could figure out how to use the old still that that Crosby guy left here last year. I think it's in the back room -- lemme drag it out for you."

• Description of the area

At the base of Nash Crosby's still there is a jar labeled "Spirit Improver", a small bowl labeled "Mixer Hopper", an empty tray at the bottom, a giant red button, and a black readout with <# of uses remaining> bright green lights on it.

The still allows you to improve the various booze and mixer elements in the game to make enhanced versions. You can use the machine up to 10 times a day.

• When using the still:

You load up the still and push the button. The machine hums for a moment, and a new item drops into the bottom tray.

• After the tenth use in one day:

All of the lights on the still are dark. It'll be recharged by tomorrow.

• When typo-ing in the # of ingredients to improve:

Why not accentuate the positives?

• When exceeding the # of ingredients to improve (lights left on):

The still can't handle that much action today.
