The conversation revolves around a group of friends, referred to as "boys", who are on a night out to try three cocktails at different price points. The first stop is "Good Times at Davey Wayne's", a 70s bar owned by Houston hospitality where they enjoy an old-fashioned cocktail. The bartender explains that the cocktail is a mix of Overholt rye whiskey, sugar, and bitters. They also add an orange peel and lemon peel to the cocktail, which creates a fine layer of citrus oil. The cocktail is served on tap and costs six dollars, Monday through Friday from 5 o'clock when they open till 8 o'clock.
The second stop is "Pacific Seas", a bar located on the fourth floor of Clifton's. Here, they are served a scorpion bowl, a drink that dates back to the 1930s and originated in Honolulu. The cocktail is made with lime juice or shot orange juice, filled with ice, and then mixed with white rum, cognac, and gin. They light the drink on fire for a volcanic eruption effect.
The final stop is "10-pound", a Scotch whisky bar. The bartender, Kash Black, serves them the Highland Park 30 penicillin, a Scotch that is over 18 years old. They pour honey, lemon juice, and ginger juice into a glass before adding the Highland Park 30. The drink is served on 10-pound ice, which has their logo etched with a laser on the inside of the ball.
Throughout the night, the friends discuss their experiences, including the unique environments of the bars, the taste of the cocktails, and the new perspectives they gain from each drink. They find the night to be a rewarding experience, with each location offering a unique and enjoyable drinking experience.
