Drinks Menu #1

A Toast to Our Inaugural Issue
By Gabriel De Santis

Welcome to the bar, word lovers!

Pull up a stool and get ready to indulge in the first issue of Drinks Menu - the literary magazine
brought to you by the Amsterdam chapter of "Writing Under the Influence."

Within these pages, you'll find a curated collection of works - most penned in English, with a
few pieces sprinkled in Spanish and German. After all, a good drink knows no language
boundaries, and neither does great writing. The contributions are arranged from shortest to
longest, allowing you to pace your literary imbibing accordingly.

Our objective is to celebrate the joy of the written word, unrestrained by themes or genres.
Whether you favor a classic cocktail or are adventurous enough to try our weekly cask-
strength special, we've crafted this literary menu to satisfy every palate.

So, take a sip, flip the pages, and get ready to be intoxicated by the talent on display. Printed
copies are coming soon, with new issues planned for every few months. We hope you'll
become a regular at our bar and join us in toasting to the beauty of the written word.
