This speakeasy is beautiful
Golden brass-colored ceilings
1920's decor and refurbished upholstery
Special treated dark stain mahogany
All inside of what looked like a bank vault.

You can smell sophistication
In every black-tie patron,
Money and leather,
floral perfume and musky aftershave.

Some content with their pinkish-red cosmos
Or simple whiskey sours,
Others preferred their martinis with espresso,
A couple of designer drinks with flecks of flower petals
But I wanted something posh and classic.

Just some cognac,
Triple-sec,
lemon juice
And light garnish to keep it cute.

tangerine and honey hue,
Scented like a citrus orchard
Mixed with brandy,
A sip or three later,
And I'm feeling quite dandy.
