Lothar Gunther-Buccheim, in the book Das Boot, described the specific way each of the officers took his daily lemon ration. If I remember correctly the Chief Engineer put a spoonful of sugar directly in his mouth, then ate the lemon slice. The 'special cocktail' was the favorite of the 2WO. This is very nicely depicted in the movie. No mention is made of it being a regular u-boatman's drink, just one man's idea of teasing his fellows with his weird habit.
