A Man's Drink!

I got an interesting e-mail the other day from a reader of this blog. I thought there might be others out there who have the same question but were too embarrassed to write in. I will save you all the trouble by answering it here publicly. The question went something like this:

"I recently went out on a date with a great looking girl. Everything was going fine. She loved the restaurant I picked, and we were having a charming conversation. She nodded approvingly when I ordered the onion soup and then a rare steak, and even asked me to order for her. I picked a salad made with fresh salmon and a pomegranate-based dressing. She gave me a warm smile with a twinkle in her eye that seemed to indicate that she was feeling mischievous!

"Then, the waiter asked what I wanted to drink and I ordered a Pina Colada. I couldn't understand why she suddenly was scowling at me until the drink arrived. It was in a tall glass and had whipped cream. There was a straw with a little bamboo umbrella hanging in it and a plastic sword with a cherry through it floated on top. She said she had to go the ladies room and left the table. She never came back."

Has this happened to you? Gentlemen, listen up. If you are trying to impress a lady, order a single malt scotch. Nothing else. First ask the waiter what brands he has. It does not matter what he says, always choose the last one. When it comes, sip it slowly and gaze into your date's eyes. She will always come back.
