Cocktails: Explained by a Vulcan

In this competition, you get to channel your inner Vulcan.

As such, you have of course acquired adequate knowledge of traditional Earth cocktails (because what else would you do in your free time) and (because what else would you do now?) are educating your Human colleagues on how they are prepared.

• pick a classic cocktail — Tequila Sunrise, Moscow Mule, whatever suits your logic
• explain ingredients and preparation with as much unnecessary detail as possible. Surely your colleagues are entirely unfamiliar with the concept of orange juice – or an orange.
• use the most academic and dispassionate descriptors you can muster

Criteria

• Descriptions should be input in the text box.
• Descriptions should contain a maximum of 1000 words. You can get your point across in much less than that? Great, go for it! :)
• Descriptions will be graded using the Bravo Fleet Fiction Rubric, which marks on the following criteria: Language, Style, & Mechanics; Adherence to Canon; Perspective; Characterization; Originality; Use of the Prompt.
• Descriptions must be written during the competition period and should not be a reuse parts of an existing story.
• The descriptions must be a written by a single author.
