An Orgasm Is Served in a Moscow Cafe

My native city is finally and gradually beginning to inspire me in a positive way. Or at least I’m discovering things that make ideas and smiles float into my mind.
Now, the title is by far the most daring on this blog, but brace yourself and shrug off any thoughts of indecency. An “Orgasm” is actually a name for a cocktail made of Cuantro, Baileys, cream, banana, ice, decorated with a cocktail cherry. I didn’t try it because I chose a cup of Americano. Served in Coffee-House, one of the cafes in the chain that has been running since 1999, the coffee is delicious, as are diverse and sundry cheese cakes, sandwiches, and salads.

Alcoholic cocktails and beverages (e.g. Irish coffee) are listed at the back of the menu. Although I loved going to Coffee House at the time when their main cafe was in Tverskaya St, I never tried to order any alcohol. As we know, in the UK it was only recently that beer and spirits began to be served during the day. I asked the barista if cocktails and wines have always been served at Coffee House in daytimes; she replied positively.

Orgasmic!

 

So, speaking of Orgasms – what a great name to give to a cocktail! You might be able to tell that I’m not a huge cocktail drinker if this cocktail is actually quite well-known and popular. Since I had no idea of it, though, and thus am completely void of any bias, here’s a list of “variations sur la theme” that I came up with in a matter of 5 minutes. I didn’t try too hard and generally opted for the most naturally possible versions. Obviously, this was a rather easy copywriting task, although no less enjoyable…
1. Man: One Orgasm for me, and one capuccino for the lady…

2. I’d like an Orgasm, please.

3. Have you got any Orgasms today, please?

4. (In a dialogue) I think I’ll have an orgasm, what do you want?
5. (In a dialogue) What do you want? An Orgasm or something else?
6. – What would you recommend?

– Perhaps, you can try an Orgasm.
– Is it any good?

7. (In a dialogue) Is it just an Orgasm you want or something else?

8. (In a dialogue) Do you want an Orgasm on its own or with a cake?

9. Waiter: I’m sorry we don’t do Orgasms before 5 pm (that was before I knew that cocktails are served throughout the day).

10. Waiter: I’m sorry I can’t give you an Orgasm if you’re under 18 (this one is quite plausible because alcohol is not served to the under-18s).

11. Waiter: No, we don’t do any Orgasms today.

12. Waiter: Yes, Orgasm is very popular.

13. (In a dialogue) I’m sorry, darling, but you’ve already had 5 Orgasms, I recommend you have a milky tea now.

14. How much is an Orgasm?

15. (In a dialogue) So, you want an Orgasm, yeah?
