    Alexander: These Dodgers have quick-strike capability

Two violet-hued in a coup and highball glass, the other tinted orange in a lowball. There was citrus in the air, the bite of ginger and the quiet confidence of an expert who has made these drinks dozens of times before.
    The only difference? Not a drop of alcohol, anywhere in sight.
