Thal didn't know what to expect, but the name should have given her some semblance of an idea that the drink would be cold. Still, she pursed her lips when the drink became an icy slush of alcoholic sweetness, an orange circle placed fancifully on the rim of the glass next to a vibrant umbrella.
She immediately regretted her choice, especially as the woman next to her seemed to assign her with responsibility for the quality of the drink. "I didn't make it," she scoffed, glancing spitefully at the woman. If she did, there wouldn't be a yellow umbrella in it. Shrugging her shoulders, she added more casually, "Plus, that's the risk you take when ordering the same thing as a stranger." She should know, she was doing the same exact thing.
Luckily, when she took her first frozen sip, the drink was actually good. She wasn't a fan of the cold nip on her lips, but they'd somehow managed to infuse the ice and fruit with a smoky flavor she very much enjoyed. Lowering the glass, she ran her tongue along her lips to warm them, clearing the bit of moisture that lingered there. She tried not to smile or show any sign of liking it when she turned to watch the woman's reaction next to her.
