I recall that at the end of the story Pinocchio became a real boy, i.e. no longer wood. So I am amazed at the number of people who didn’t read the whole story.
A tired young doctor got off a night shift at the hospital and stopped into a bar called “Dick’s” across the street for a drink.
“Hey what can I get you?” asked Dick.
“How about a daiquiri?”
The bartender makes a drink and slides it down the bar.
He takes a sip and loves it. “Whoa that’s great. What’s your secret?”
“A little bit of almond extract. Gives it a little something extra.” The two hit it off and a lifelong friendship develops.
One night the doctor enters and like clockwork the bartender goes to make his favorite drink only to realize that all the almond extract is gone. Thinking on his feet he substitutes it with a little hickory on hand.
The doctor takes a sip. A little confused, he takes another…

Didn’t old Doc Hick survive a nasty beaver attack? I think he also invented the Hickory Daiquiri.

“No, it’s a hickory daiquiri, Doc.”
