"They are," Leyla assured, "I've sampled them all myself before putting them on the menu, so you can't go wrong." She was leaving nothing to chance, putting her whole being into making this concept work. There were a couple of bars in the area, so she had competition but no one was doing exactly what she was doing. They might have non-alcoholic options, though. That's why she had to work extra hard to make her place stand out as something special. "Great choice!" She replied, beaming, "I leave that menu then." As she began to make the drink herself, she decided she should probably strike up a conversation like any other bartender would do. What would Sam Malone do? "So what do you do?"
"They all sound kinda good," Che said, eyeing up the menu. He'd often spend time like this at bars with alcoholic beverages, but it was early and it was a work night and he was trying not to be the worst. "Go with the strawberry basil one, then." He smiled over at Leyla. "And then maybe something more smoothie-like afterwards for my second drink."

It wasn't that Leyla didn't like alcohol. In truth, she didn't mind it at all. That wasn't the point of this place. The point was the inclusivity, the point was that everyone was welcome, the point was that it was a safe place for all friends. It was why out of any business, this is the one she pursued to completion. It was the one she had needed once upon a time.
"What can I get you? My personal favorite is the Strawberry Basil Mocktail or the Ginger Turmeric smoothie we have. Or do you need a minute?"
