What is your favorite drink?

Hello dear friends,

Friends, gather around and raise a glass to nostalgia. Today’s writing prompt asks a deceptively simple question: What is your favorite drink?

At first, it sounds like casual small talk—the sort of thing you’d ask at a dinner table or while waiting for a meeting to begin.

But if you pause for a moment, you’ll realize that this question is not really about beverages at all. It is about memory, identity, culture, and connection.

And for me, the answer will forever be tied to a sparkling slice of the past, set in one of India’s most vibrant cities.

Let me take you back about fifteen years, to my days stationed at the Main Branch in Kolkata. Those were lively times, filled with deadlines, paperwork, and professional responsibilities.

Yet amid the routine, our respected AGM Saheb had a remarkable way of nurturing team spirit.

He introduced a tradition that soon became the highlight of our month: every fourth Saturday, the ten officers of our branch would gather for a cocktail evening at the iconic Bluefox Hotel on Park Street.

❤️Setting the Scene: The Allure of Bluefox

Ah, the Bluefox! Anyone who experienced it knows it was not just a restaurant or bar—it was an institution.

The place pulsed with energy. Music drifted through the air, laughter blended with clinking glasses, and the atmosphere felt alive with possibility.

The décor glowed warmly under soft lights, and the aroma of delicious food mingled with the unmistakable scent of celebration.

Though the establishment has since closed its doors, its spirit lives on in the hearts of those who once spent evenings there.

There we were, a group of colleagues transformed into companions, ready to unwind after weeks of work. Titles and designations faded into the background as we settled into the comfort of shared leisure.

❤️A Toast to Individuality: A Symphony of Drinks

One of the most fascinating aspects of those evenings was the variety of drinks that appeared on our table.

Each officer had a favorite: some preferred classic whisky, others leaned toward beer, a few chose wine, and a couple experimented with cocktails.

That diversity reflected our personalities—serious, jovial, adventurous, or reserved—each glass telling a subtle story about its owner.

As for me, there was never any debate. My choice was always the same: the mesmerizing Blue Lagoon cocktail.😂😂

With its brilliant turquoise hue and refreshing blend of citrusy sweetness, it was as delightful to look at as it was to taste.

The drink felt like a miniature vacation in a glass, transporting me far from files and figures into a breezy world of color and calm.

This is precisely why the question “What is your favorite drink?” is so intriguing.

A favorite drink is rarely chosen by accident. It often reflects our mood, our temperament, and even our aspirations.

Some prefer bold flavors, others subtle notes. Some seek comfort, others excitement. In answering the question, we unknowingly reveal a piece of ourselves.

❤️Beyond the Blue: Camaraderie and Connection

As the evenings unfolded, the real magic was not only in the drinks but in what they created among us.

With every sip, conversations grew warmer and more open. Topics that once felt too formal for office hours—personal challenges, ambitions, family stories—flowed freely. Laughter rose easily, echoing across the table like music of its own.

Psychologists often note that shared rituals strengthen social bonds, and those Saturdays proved it.

Sitting together, glass in hand, we discovered each other not merely as colleagues but as individuals.

Barriers softened, understanding deepened, and friendships blossomed. The drink, in a sense, was only the catalyst; the real essence was connection.

❤️The Bill Arrives: A Lesson in Togetherness

Every memorable evening must eventually wind down, and ours were no exception. When the bill arrived, it was usually substantial—after all, good times rarely come cheaply.

Often, I happened to be the one paying the amount that night, especially when my enthusiasm for Blue Lagoons was at its peak.

Yet what truly mattered was what happened the next day. Without fail, each officer, including our AGM Saheb, would contribute their share with cheerful willingness.

That simple gesture carried a powerful message: we were a team not only in work but also in spirit.

Responsibility was shared, just like laughter and stories. It turned what could have been a mundane transaction into a symbol of trust and unity.

❤️The Legacy of a Favorite Drink

Today, the Bluefox Hotel exists only in memory, and our professional paths ended as I retired.

Yet whenever I see a Blue Lagoon on a menu or catch sight of that familiar blue shimmer, I am instantly transported back to those evenings of camaraderie and carefree conversation.

The taste recalls friendships, the color recalls laughter, and the memory reminds me how meaningful small traditions can be.

That is why the question “What is your favorite drink?” deserves more than a one-word answer. It invites reflection. It encourages us to revisit moments that shaped us and people who enriched our lives.

A favorite drink is not merely about flavor; it is about the experiences poured into the glass along with it.

So, my friends, whether your choice is a vibrant cocktail, a steaming cup of tea, a classic soda, or even a simple glass of water, cherish it.

Behind that preference lies a story waiting to be told. And perhaps, when you share that story with others, you will discover—as I did—that sometimes the sweetest taste of all is the taste of connection.

Cheers—to your favorite drink, and to the memories it carries.
