'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

"Good evening."

"Welcome, this way."

Viola appeared in the store when the clock was pointing to nine o'clock.

Phil guided her to the seat next to Sui, who was sitting at the counter and waiting, because he had told her to come in advance.

Phil asks as he handles a warm bowl.

"Do you work until this time?"

"Oh, it's early today."

"Good luck until late."

"And I'm told you're working at the moment."

I was told not to say that.

Phil laughs bitterly instead of answering and takes a full order.

She basically likes gin, and she often asks for Gini's long cocktails in the mood of the day.

I ordered [Jin Ricky] today as usual.Jin Ricky simply replaced the tonic of Jin Tonic with a soda.Basically, add a muddler to it.

"I'm often told it's sweet when I'm tired, but today I want to feel refreshed."

That's why Viola ordered Jin Ricky for the first time.

Then Phil brought a full eye.When I checked that Viola spoke lightly, Phil was on his way to dealing with other customers, so I went out in front of them to replace them.

"Hey, General, you're really just watching."

"No, I'm helping you make it today."

Whatever you want to hide, today's whiskey - that is, the round ice that comes out when you ask for an old potion with a lock - is my handmade.

This round ice is quite deep.

Until Old was available, rock glasses (both old fashion glasses), which were mainly used as cocktail glasses, were finally used in rock as the name suggests.

Round ice that fits sporily into a rock glass can also be said to be a gift for drinking the whisky.

It's not that hard to make round ice.

First, when finely splitting consistent ice that has not yet been handled, scrape the cube of ice roughly the size of a glass.

The corners of the cube are first sharpened, then the sharp corners are sharpened, and occasionally more corners are sharpened while being aware of the shape.

Over and over again, we can create rounded ice, which is almost spherical in nature.

It takes a lot of time in the first place, but in less than five minutes you'll be able to make a round ice.

I basically work with Mitsumoto ice picks, but some shops use knives to shred ice to make round ice.Do you think it will be ice with a thicker surface?

However, my senpai was an ice pick because the ice left with a little jagged is better handmade, and I am also an ice picker.

Then, until then, why round the ice?

First, it is said that round ice, which is a large sphere, takes longer to melt than the square ice used for regular cocktails.

But I've never measured the actual time, so maybe it hasn't changed that much.

However, there are other advantages of round ice.

In the case of ice that fits perfectly into the glass, it appears to fill the glass beautifully when poured with 30 ml of liquid in one shot.

If it's too small, the liquid looks lonely at the bottom, and if it's too big, it won't get into the glass in the first place.

I don't think it's a pleasure to make this crushing round ice.

Well, if you scrape it little by little to see if it actually gets into the glass, it's surprisingly easy to aim for it.

Anyway, that's why I like to make round ice in my work of breaking ice.

Because the first task is to chew, it is also a bit spicy in winter.

"So, if you don't mind, rock the old."

And, hiding the excitement that seeped slightly, I'll give you a light explanation and recommendations.

But Viola and Sui, who were listening to me like that, looked at me with a slightly soft eye.

"In the end, your story will eventually lead to," What's next? "

I don't think so.

That's funny. My pure feelings are distorted.

Anyway, Viola is still not convinced that Sui, who should be the owner, is telling me.

Well, about the round ice after this, let's start with a status report.

Said Viola, pointing the glass towards Switzerland.

Swiss also gently lifted the glass in his hand and gently struck it into his mouth.

"Well, my situation is not the same as when I told you before."

"Sure, I'll ask."

Viola seemed a little relieved toward the swiss in a completely waiting position.

Then quietly, at first, the complainants gradually moved on to a pleasant status report.

"Speaking of which, what happened to the rookie who was talking at noon?"

The conversation with the Swiss was over, as Viola remembered.

Yes, in fact, there is currently no retro in this store.

It is also a very difficult situation to explain to the customer why.

"Er, it's about newcomers..."

Now, next to what I was worried about, Swiss said lightly.

"He was taken with a crush."

"How to say it....."

I couldn't help but explain to the decent Viola that I was waiting for a very light story from Switzerland.

This happened while Easy was preparing to open the store.

There wasn't much time left until the store opened, and I was just doing a condition check for everyone and sharing contact information again.

All of a sudden, the door of Easy's door opened with a lot of momentum, and two women jumped in, even though I said, "I'm still preparing."

And the moment I saw those two faces, there was Lito who tried to escape with a dash, so I managed to catch Lito with Phil.

When asked in detail, well, Lito and the two women were quite close, and they acted a little together until they came to the city.

There was also an exchange of money at that time.

But when this retro arrived in the city, he suddenly disappeared from the front of the two while borrowing money.

I asked Lito about the situation for a moment, but there was a word that was not an excuse, even though it was natural that what was missing would have to be returned by working.

That's why we were dragged away by two women with the face of a calf that was being sold, and we dropped it off.

Once we've finished talking, we can come back to business today, but we can do it.

"You're more than I imagined."

"Just my face is fine.Really, just the face. "

"Is that all you can defend anymore..."

I had no choice but to answer Viola's exact feelings.

To be honest, I was a little curious about what the two women were doing, but I couldn't do anything other than hand over Lito before that.

"If Lito's safe, he'll be back soon, I'm sure.What about the next drink? "

"I doubt you'll ever come back, but it's a corner, so why don't you rock something old?"

"Yes, sir."

I honestly don't know about Lito, but it seemed worthwhile talking about round ice in the first place.

I thought about the old-fashioned type Viola had asked for in my head, and I wondered which one I should recommend next.

Then the store bell rang a little after the Easy Blend was served in lock.

"I'm back."

A loud voice that passes well. A voice that makes you feel tired and unusual.

It was a retro voice that just opened the door and came back to the store.

"Welcome back, I'll deduct what you missed today from your salary."

"Is that the best opening, Master!?"

"Ahahah, for now, can you come in if you want to?Customers are waiting to see you at a glance. "

Viola, who would have heard my conversation, looked at me somewhat dissatisfied and turned to Litro.

And Litro also watched Viola while being somewhat alert to today's accident.

It was that moment.

"... eh?"

"... hmm?"

The two people with eyes raised confused voices to each other.

Viola is confused by the sound of a very profound confusion.

On the contrary, it is Litro who is in a hurry to say that he was seen by a very troubled person.

... it's kind of familiar, maybe not.

"... no, why are you here?"

"You... come here for a minute!"

Litro shouted so loudly and pulled Viola's hand out of the store.

I'm just being paranoid today.Sui and I looked at each other and communicated with each other.
