Spit works well for me.
And an old blunt screwdriver to break the seal between grip and bar.

Just because you live there doesn't mean you HAVE to drink the local
plonk. You could order something nice instead.

Yairs I certainly have, it's drinkable. Not very spesh though, if you've
got him pouring virtual drinks pass over the $10-$20 rack and go to the
top shelf - crack a bottle of Veuve or Moet, Grange or a shot of
Laphroaig or Glenmorangie 18yr old.

Did I tell you about the last time Angie and I were in Scotland, we were
staying in a hotel near Largs.
Went into bar got drink for Angie, then asked if they had Glen Morangie.
Was told, quite snootily, of course....what year would you like?
I tried the 30 year old stuff, and it was like nectar of the gods.

Laphroaig.... of course. 
I don't tend to say it too often, since I am not a big fan of the heavy,
peaty type of malts, prefering the east coast whiskys.
That is not to say that I wouldn't drink more of less any of the malts.
