I arrived at an Italian restaurant before my dinner companion did. I decided to take a seat at the bar while I waited. The bartender approached me and asked what I would like to drink. I responded with, "Surprise me." She inquired about my preferences, to which I replied, "I don't like drinks that are too sweet or too strong." The bartender mixed a drink for me using vodka, grapefruit juice, grenadine, and some other ingredients that I cannot recall. It turned out to be a delightful drink.
