    “What would it be?” shouted the tense bartender so I could hear him after I approached the bar.“Do you have something special for tonight?” I raised my voice, while I was quickly scanning through the hand-written drink list hanging on the wall.“Just what’s there,” replied the tall, slim barman and nodded towards the blackboard behind him.“Eh… wait a moment… hmm… One Moscow mule please.” He took a glass from the freezer, put it on the stone slab and reached for the bottle of vodka.
