Transcript excerpt

It's not an espresso martini, but also not an old fashioned. We use banana, coffee, and blue cheese as flavors. Banana and coffee is liquid, and the blue cheese is just a little snack on the side. It's called Versace's slippers because it doesn't make sense. Best, you know, it's good.
