The Dwell Time
Honey-thyme old fashioned with bourbon & orange — engagement measured in sips
The real measure of engagement is dwell time
Why this cocktail? James measures engagement by dwell time. This slow-sipping old fashioned rewards those who stay.
The Story
Dwell time — how long someone stays with a story — is Lancaster's metric for real engagement. A packed room means nothing if the audience leaves mentally after five minutes. This honey-thyme old fashioned is designed for staying: bourbon for depth, honey for sweetness that builds over time, thyme for the herbal complexity that rewards the patient drinker.
