Olive juice..nice story

It was a fairly unique pizza restaurant/bar with a good clientele. Virtually every kind of special liqueur and foreign beer available back then. All kinds of specialized drinks. I still have the menu. Sometimes I look at the prices of drinks back then and wonder, boy, have things changed.

I recall one Sunday I was tending bar, it was fairly slow with a couple tables filled; one by a family of 4-5. A couple came in and sat at the bar, ordering drinks. The woman couldn't decide what she wanted, ordered a special mixed drink or something, then griped about it not being to her liking. All she did was grouse about it.

The waitress came up and ordered a round for the family table. I set the glasses up and began making the drinks, some of them getting parasols and such for decorations. The woman sitting at the bar saw these and said "Now that's what I've been wanting. That's my kind of drink. What do you call that?"

I replied "A Kiddie Cocktail". They left rather quickly.
