Colson had just finished checking in, keycard dangling from his fingers as he headed down the hallway toward the suite he was supposed to share. He was scrolling through his phone, half‑distracted, when he turned a corner and nearly walked straight into someone. He looked up fast.

Dominic had his headphones on, humming to himself as he explored the resort. He had already dropped his stuff off and said a quick hello to his roommate, so he decided to see what fun he could find.

What's your specialty? I'll give that a go.

Basically any whiskey cocktail. Fancy an ol' fashion?

fine. just don't roofie it, ha. guess what my favorite is.

ya know, you're better off makin' it yourself if ya can't trust me.

Alright, I'll give anything a try.

Right, ah've heard this is called a berry fizzle. 'ave a taste.

Well whoever this mate of yours was, thank them for me because I think I too just found a new favorite drink to order next time I'm back over the pond.

Well, next time you come this way, you better let me show ya around.

How buzzed are we talking about?

Just enough sugar to take the edge off !

Do you know any good mocktails? That's where I'm at these days.

Ah, yeah, I know somethin' that can still get ya buzzin'. Minus the liquor o'course.

Cheers! If it isn't dangerous, it wouldn't be as good now would it? How did you come across that mix though? Was that introduced to you by someone else or you having a go at playing with what you had on hand?

Honestly, couldn't tell you either way. I think it was bit of both. A mate made a suggestion, and I just ran with it. It's been my favorite ever since.

It's like you read my mind, mate. I've been parched for something stronger than water all day. Though I don't know if I have a favorite - so shoot me one of yours instead, and let me try something new.

Well, I don't know if it's my favorite, but I'm quite proud. Grapefruit vodka with some citrus mixer, tastes like pop. Dangerous, but worth it.
