'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

The time now is 3: 00 PM.

That time signifies two hours before the opening of the store here at 'Easys'.

After all, there are three people there… maybe humans.

One is a bartender working in the counter. I mean, I-- Evening fog.

One, a red-haired girl sitting in the counter and staring at my work. Rye Vermut.

And the last one is the girl who made the stuff I'm making right now, the ingredients for the 'cocktail', together. It's Iberis from "The Robot."

First, I squeezed the cut lime into a glass called Collins Glass with a capacity of about 300 ml - and the closest standard.

In that glass, use a thong to fill the ice.

Subsequently, he opened a bottle of 'gin' - 'gini potion' - that had been chilled by a kink in the freezer.

Measure 45 ml using a major cup and drop into the glass.

And finally, extremely, a certain carbonated beverage was poured in.

Some styles strike the ice and drain carbonation moderately, but I avoid ice and take care not to drain carbonation as much as possible.

Twice to lift with a bar spoon. Steer only half a circumference to turn, it's done.

Put a little on the back of your hand to see the taste. Refreshing sweetness and slight bitterness.

That matches the unique flavour, dryness of 'gin', which greatly enhances its completeness.

No complaints. No complaints.

"Thank you for waiting. [Jin Tonic]."

I quietly slipped a glass in front of Rye.

"... this is it?

"Yes, it's the last one"

When I heard my answer, Rye swallowed a cockroach as well.

And terrified. I included that bite.

"... Huh. This is sloppy."

Immediately after that, Rye's expression loosens up a lot.

I guess so. Not so much, it would taste happy.

[Jin Tonic] is the supreme 'cocktail' that also encompasses its easy way of making, but also its depth, also known as the fundamentals of all 'cocktails'.

The ingredients are simple. Very simple.

'Gin', 'Lime' and 'Tonic Water'

That's all.

Because it is, for its flavour, the flavour of 'gin' used as a base. Flavour of 'tonic', which is a split ingredient. The flavour of 'lime', the accent, is intricately intertwined.

But most importantly, the bartender's technology.

Whoever makes it tastes different.

That much [Jin Tonic] is also a difficult cocktail.

I, too, thought I was practicing [Jin Tonic], and the day was over - oh, my God. It is a 'cocktail' with so much magic.

"So, what do you think? Three carbonated drinks, do you think I'll take it?

I also pointed and asked the remaining two glasses, which I had already put out.

One is [Moscow Mule]

Long cocktail, meaning 'Rabba in Moscow (Mule means Rabba)'.

Using lime is no different than [gintonic]. However, the base is' vodka 'and the breaking material is' ginger ale '.

Most importantly, it is only 'Japan', and overseas I also hear about using 'ginger ale' rather than 'ginger beer'.

The unconventional taste of vodka is combined with the claims of ginger ale, making it refreshing and sweet to drink. It's like Rabba kicked me in the ass. I'll get drunk later.

Personally, I prefer to use sweet ginger ale.

The other one is [Cuba Libre]

Long cocktail, meaning 'freedom in Cuba'.

A slogan screamed at in the fold of the Second Cuban War of Independence seems to be the original name of the cocktail.

This one also has lime in it, but the base is' ram '. The splitting material becomes' Coke '.

Lamb and coke. What a gorgeous cocktail for two protagonists who add to each other's charm without fail to dance on a stage called in their mouths.

It's not a bad idea to dare exclude lime or try changing the type of lamb.

And finally, [Jin Tonic], which I explained earlier.

These three cocktails were just given to this red-haired girl as a representative.

"Hmm."

Rye roared slightly in arms.

Me and Iberis just wait and see how it goes.

Let's hide what. This is the first day I've had her try them.

No matter how confident you are in 'cocktails', nervousness doesn't always change.

And Rye opens his mouth.

"It was so delicious that I didn't see any flaws in it"

Ha Niya, and in spite of that, Rye praised him so gently.

To the words, me and Iberis looked at each other and made a grand high touch.

"We did it, Iberis! Done! Finally, the memorial" Carbonated Beverages "is all done!

"It's true! Now we can finally get out of that trial and error hell!

"Our future is rosy. Ahhhhh!

"Hi-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

We jumped and expressed our joy.

No, it was really hard.

The plan began in earnest, two weeks after opening the bar at 'Easys'.

Me and Sui's bar was steadily stretching our legs. Some people who drank it seemed to spread word of mouth to me, more people wanted to take a sip, and the store was booming with clarity.

That's how things get better, and on the other hand, when it swells, so does greed.

I was wondering if it was time to add more menus.

Results. A major manufacturing operation was to be launched to increase the menu.

The first aim is' carbonated drinks'.

Briefly, there are four main types of carbonated beverages used in the bar.

"Soda," "Tonic Water," "Ginger Ale," "Coke," these four.

And of those, 'soda' was already in the mass production system.

Iberis, the robot, has the ability to make 'machines'.

I just taught him the structure of the soda, and he developed a machine to create the soda in a week of things.

If so, I thought the other three were just a matter of time.

Clearly, I was licking it a little.

Because they can be made in such a way that "stock solution" is made into a carbonated beverage with "soda".

This means that if we can combine various medicinal flavors and herbs to create a stock solution, then those mass productions will also be possible.

That was, well, tough.

Various herbs, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg and other herbs from different worlds that I don't even know their names for.

I bought them from one end and mixed them with reference to information on the internet that I had examined in Japan in the past.

Coke tastes like it with cinnamon and vanilla.

Ginger ale looks like it with sweetness and acidity in ginger.

These two things were relatively easy.

It would still be compared to a complete commercial product. Nevertheless, the path, or prototype, had it as knowledge. It didn't make any noise, and the satisfying product could be made without taking days.

But tonic water was the problem.

Kina, which was supposed to be the raw material, was nowhere on the market.

Originally, Kina is a plant native to South America. I'm not familiar with the geography of this world, but the city has a mild climate, so it seems a little far away.

Besides, Kina was originally a special effect of malaria. That's why tonic water for healthy drinks was created with it.

If you don't have a use for it, say it can't be handled on the market until then.

The lack of kina made it extremely difficult to reproduce the unique bitter taste.

So I tried depending on the allowance until I pulled the hit.

The ingredients of all medicinal herbs were extracted and mixed together.

I just kept on living a life of licking, mixing bitterness, sugar and lemon.

After a few days of hell, "The Tonic Prototype" was completed.

It was also a wonder.

Vanilla by any name, "Toni," became the determinant of "Tonic."

Either way, I've been doing that research with Iberis for days.

Sui only participated in the extraction of the ingredients and the rest was left to the preparation of the store. Breaking ice and preparing equipment is something someone has to do.

Meanwhile, Iberis and I were in pain crying.

And now the hardships have been rewarded.

"Uh, was it that hard?

Like our great pleasure, Rye was circling his eyes.

"Oh. You don't know what you're drinking anymore."

"You've come to the conclusion that soda is the best, many times."

"Oh, yeah, yeah"

Looking into our dead eyes, Rye has turned a little sympathy towards us.

"But your sister was stubborn that you were hubbed from that research."

Rye revealed to us.

I left earlier, but I left it to Sui to prepare for this period.

Yes, we dared to remove Suey from this study.

But the reason is simple and clear.

"'Cause that guy, you're flavor tone retarded.' Delicious' has too much defense."

"Sorry. I can't deny it at all, sister."

That's what I've been feeling since I first drank Sui's potion already.

Sui said she thought that potion was really delicious and made it.

The stories I've heard say that potions made of 'poor quality demon stones' will not be accepted by the public no matter how much they are processed. If you think of it as medicine and they serve 'distilled liquor', that would be bad for Uke.

That's Potion's perception in the world.

And Sui worked out a way to make it something to drink.

but the result was a fucking unsavory potion.

"My taste is a little sharp, and I've had so much trouble with my normal senses of Iberis. I can only see the result of the mass-production of the dramatic drug even if I put a swim in it."

"Even the total speculation was quite off. Could you have been more stuffy than me?

"Whatever you want to mix alcohol with, perfumes and herbs aren't specialty."

I made an excuse and then I said what I had in mind.

"By the way, what's wrong with that pivotal sui? I thought you were here."

I'll take a look around the store with Kyoro, but there's no sign of Sui.

Me and Iberis finished the prototype "Carbonated Drinks" and came to this store on its feet.

At that point, he didn't look like Sui anymore.

That's not why I had Rye try it this way.

"Ah. Your sister went to some kind of potion shop meeting."

"Meeting?"

To Rye's laid back voice, I returned the words.

"Yeah. Anything, for the potion store in this city, you said there'd be a serious announcement."

Apparently Rye didn't get it either.

I, too, was nodding without getting the guidelines, and Karan and the entrance bell rang.

When I look you in the eye, I never get tired of looking at you again and again, beautiful blue haired girl.

Sui Vermut stood uncommonly and slightly excited.

"Whoa, welcome back, Suey. So I'd like you to have a drink."

"More total than that. Big News"

With the momentum blocking my words, Sui runs in here

Sui spread a piece of paper in his hand in front of me.

"How's it going?

"Wait, I haven't read it yet"

I turned my attention to the title of the paper as I forgave Sui for rushing my thoughts.

As always, I don't know the word, but I know what it means.

There, it said this in perhaps masterful letters.

"Potion Quality Review, Announcement of the Holding"

The title alone gave some overview.

In short, it's a potion tournament.

"Okay, but what's in this? You're leaving?

"Look downstairs. It matters here."

When I looked down and where Sui pointed at me, it said something small.

"The winning store will be presented with hundreds of gold coins"

"Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

I accidentally peeled my eyes and shouted at the extrajudicial winning prize in this world.

When converted into my sensory Japanese yen, the prize is 25 million yen.
