Where's a bartender when you need one?
This Schweppes advert I have become bizarrely fascinated with. It basically shows a bunch of people showing off while they are making drinks for their friends and of course, they are all drinks that some how involve schweppes tonic water. I suppose I’ve been trying to figure out what drinks they are making. The first guy starts off on the phone shaking what looks I assume is liquor and frozen berries in a cocktail shaker. I have no idea what he’s making, but it looks damn good. The next drinker maker is a woman watching tv while she makes mojitos. Ah, mojitos. There really is nothing like rum and mint mashed with limes and sugar. (Really, there is nothing like rum. That’s why the saddest part of the first Pirates of the Caribbean flick is when Elizabeth sets her little fire.) The third guy, at least in my viewing is making gin and tonics. A real show-off, isn’t he? What with bouncing the measure off his elbow and all. Oh, and then there’s the thing with the lime at the end. How sharp would your knife have to be to cut straight through the lime like that? How much force would the lime have to hit the blade in order to get that clean a cut? I wonder these things. I suppose it could be vodka and tonic as well, but who drinks that? Then there’s the nice 1940's veneer over the whole thing with the lighting, the furnishing in the apartment, the way people are dressed (check out that polka dot dress at the very beginning). Oh, and the song by Spike Jones and The City Slickers. I dig it. I just want to know what kind of drink that is with the berries!
