"What do you think? It's pretty cool right?"
Nico had started to play host for us and had drinks and food brought to the table. There was a vast array of foods to choose from but the drinks were a bit foreign for me. They looked and smelled a bit dangerous too.
"Lizzie, try this one, Balik Salmon paired with a nice glass of Cold in Shadows." Levi offered. It was a tall glass had a nice pinkish-red tone to the liquid and lots of ice. On top, there were bits of dried fruits and a fresh sprig of mint.
I took a sip of it and noted a smokey, cinnamon taste to the drink. A slight peaty note and what is this - a hint of sweetened cocoa? After a few seconds, my tongue wanted something to balance the ramble of tastes and I popped into my mouth the fish slice and it felt divine.
"Mmmm…" I mumbled as I popped in another one.
