AFTERPARTY III: Never Have I Ever Been Quite This Drunk



[There's absolutely nothing celebratory about this drinking party. "Party" isn't even the right word, not really-- it's more like a "drink until you forget and/or black out" session for anyone who wants to participate, and even the bartender isn't immune from that much. Please forgive him if your drink isn't mixed quite right; he's trying his best under the circumstances.

There's food, too, if anyone wants to attempt to stave off a hangover tomorrow, or just get something in their stomach after the events of the day: stirfry from Makoto, vegetable soup from Nageki (mediocre, but hey, a genuine effort was made and that's what counts), and some tea for those who would rather abstain from the harder stuff. (Is that even many people tonight? Probably not.)

Come on by the bar if you're hungry or want a drink, or even if you just don't want to be alone right now. That much, at least, is something that can be guaranteed tonight.]

A lot, actually.

[ He has had too much to drink to go into a lot of detail over them. But he is not drunk enough to forget the feeling of each taste. It's almost like coffee: the upfront flavor, the hidden notes, the texture, and even the less pervasive aroma.

So, he decides to try something more complex, an experiment of sorts. In his head, it'd made sense, though he worries it might be a little much for Jack. Now that the idea of this drink is with him, he can't help but want to take the gamble.

Into the shaker go rums, coconut and coffee liqueurs, followed by pineapple and lemon juice. He throws in extra grenadine to make it a shade sweeter, though less so than the Toasted Almond. Just like before, it's iced and shaken, poured, and tested by Makoto before he slides the very different, red tinged shot over. It's a good thing this one is just a shot, since the strength of the alcohol is far too easy to hide behind the more tropical flavors.

Okay, this one is a little different... but it's actually really good.

[ Yes, he did already finish his. ]
