“This is delicious!” said Sarah, taking a sip of her Greenhorn cocktail.
“I know, right?” said her friend, Michael. “I’ve never had anything like it before.”
They were sitting at a bar in Houston, Texas, enjoying a night out. They had both just started new jobs, and they were celebrating.
The Greenhorn cocktail is a combination of silver tequila, Midori melon liqueur, and Suze gentian liqueur. It’s a sweet and tart drink with a hint of bitterness.
“It’s kind of like a margarita, but with a twist,” said Sarah.
“Yeah, it’s definitely different,” said Michael. “But I like it.”
They continued to talk and drink, and soon they were laughing and having a great time.
“This is the best night ever,” said Sarah.
“I know, right?” said Michael. “I’m so glad we came here.”

“I’m so excited to start this new chapter in my life,” said Sarah.
