I was 16 when for the first time I got to try Jack and Coke , I still remember that day , It was stolen from the fridge the coke I mean and borrowed Jack from my dad`s bar . I slowly poured coke in the glass it was frizzy and cold ... it looked so beautiful in that rocks glass , water droplets on its surface and a frizzy soda inside it OMG ... I fell in love with that drink and then hastily I added some jack without any previous first hand experience but I was an Vicarious expert , learned by watching and listening so what if I never got a chance to make pegs for the gentleman .
That was my first step towards adulthood .Jack and Coke in my hand pink Floyd in the background , it was them because my dad use to listen to them but I liked MJ and blue though but I thought Floyd would be a better choice as that is what grown ups listen to . But anyways It took me like an hour to get to the couch with the glass in my hand , I also wanted to lit the cigar but that would have been too much as i just had 3 hours of no parents or should I say of being an adult or a man in the house.
I sat on the couch about to sip in the ambrosia I just had brewed . And the door bell rings . OK , so I thought have kept the coke back in fridge and have diluted jack by adding little water to it , come on I cannot stand my father discombobulated by the diminishing jack so just for him I added a little water , right then I am good . My parents were off to some relatives place a family function ( baby shower as far as I remember ) , so it couldnt be my parents then who the fuck ... with a frown I opened the door and SURPRISE .... its my dad , wow amazing I love murphy . he rushed in to grab something and just before leaving he saw that glass and asked wasszat . "I dont know" , "what ?? lemme c that " . " how am I suppose to know everything that is lying around , I was in my room studying , I got my exams next week "
"I don`t know what were you upto but if you were studying why is the music on and lemme c that whats in that glass ."
OMG I so wanted to run from that place . "OH our neighborhood is so noisy i get distracted so I turned it on atlest will keep away the stupid noise but I was studyng math differential calculus , its so awesome i like so much , I love math." Well I dunno y I said that but I suck at math i failed the last test was planning to drop it . Anyways He helped himself grabbed the glass , its still cold its just made and its JACK ,
REST is history
well a few days after a lock was placed on the bar and I majored in math .
that was my first encounter with a cocktail . Was Awesome not the experience but the cocktail and I became a fan of it . Since then I have been into cocktails I wanted to be a bartender but I am not that talented so became an engineer.
But I still love to talk about bars and attending people in bars .
