“Uhm, I don’t want to sound like a douche at all. I just really think you should add more variety of pastries to your chocolate cakes and cookies. I know everyone probably already knows you for the chocolate from the business name and all, but I really think variety should be the spice of your shop.

When Lisa saw that I took non-alcoholic cocktail, she grabbed my arm and asked, "Are you underage?" "What?" "The one without alcohol is juice. Since it's cocktail party, of course we should drink this," Lisa said as she handed me a golden cocktail. "Martini is called the 'King of cocktails'."

I have never heard of such a thing in my life !!" The tourist exclaimed.

“This is a party for people who are sad over Celine’s marriage. To commemorate the first day after her union yesterday, I prepared alcoholic cocktails which will soothe your broken hearts.” Flinching at the Wonwoo’s remarks, the two did not respond and rather wait for the next nonsensical things which will come out Wonwoo’s lips. “Here, I prepared these cocktails, Fruity Baby Food Cocktail, Ginger Mint Julep, Frozen margaritas, Gin and Lime cocktails, 1832 Whiskey, Pumpkin Spice Soda, Aperol Spritz, Frose and Boozy Strawberries.

In another corner, a small stage hosted a variety of erotic sensual performances at regular intervals, each more enthralling than the last. Opposite the lounge, an expansive bar counter showcased an impressive array of spirits, each bottle meticulously arranged within glass cabinets.

The cocktail menu boasted a thousand unique concoctions, each more enticing than the last.

"The bartender is absolutely gorgeous." "You say that about every bartender," I laughed, finishing my wine. "Because it's always true," she defended herself.

Very scientific studies." Emilia snorted into her drink. "By who? Cosmo magazine?" We were all laughing when a tall figure appeared at our table, casting a shadow over our drinks.

I excitedly asked "We do" He nodded with a smirk Bloody hell! Negroni cocktail is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever tasted, it’s so soothing and refreshing. I’ve only tasted it once and since that day, I marked it green on my book of life. Barbara would freak out if she was here, she’s also a diehard fan of Negroni cocktail. "Then I will take a glass please." "Sure Miss. Anything apart from that?" He asked "Uhm..no, I think that’s all," I responded

"Cake? Are you seriously equating cocktails to cake?" "Obviously! Not that I don't love cake, because trust me, I do, but if you think about it, cocktails are for the most part sweet. So all you're really doing is just wasting valuable volume in your stomach by filling it up with flavored sugar water that contains the teensiest bit of alcohol and has probably been watered down anyway.

Flipping through the bar's manual, I was amused to find some of my old Chicago favorites represented. Cocktails with names such as the "Slab Dragon" and "Fire Moth" rang bells—some good, some not-so-good. I chuckled, recalling the wild nights and questionable choices.
