Yeah, it's been a while since I've even had the time to pick up something new. I think more than the mixing I like the company. [ getting to talk to people, they mean. ]
I've been experimenting lately, and while I love a good Old Fashioned, I've been learning how to perfect espresso martinis. But I could easily do with a Vodka Red Bull.

But, uh... Old Fashioned is bourbon, bitters and just a little sugar. As for Red Bull? [ reaches under the counter and pulls out a heavenly knock-off can to show him. ] It's an energy drink.
Same idea, different taste. There's different flavors and whatever but you can't beat a classic. An espresso martini's just coffee liqueur with vodka, espresso and syrup. There're some alcohols that mix pretty well with teas, too.

I would like to try one of these mixes of yours, sometime. But I'll see what this "classic" is about.

he nods along with the old fashioned's explanation, then - lo, an energy drink. there's a blip of confusion at the phrasing? ]
An... energy drink. Like a coffee or tea?

Whenever you want. Who am I to say no to a guest?
