Character is Bar tender (MC i think), at a Variety Bar, NightClub or a club like Tanya Allan's "Candy Cane Club"

Older Gentleman regular customer of the Character as he likes the ever expanding range of cocktails can make, and if i remember correctly that character can make for the mood of the customer

Two things get reviled later the Older Gentleman is real owner of venue, and father of its operator, and the character reads a board sheet that has a section on cocktails within the entertainment section in the weekend editions.

This is all i remember as i was reminded while rereading one of Morpheus' Imp stories where Imp asks for weird and wonderful named cocktails, as a way to get bartenders to be creative
