The example is just about abstraction.

The imperative equivalent would be:

"Give me a Sazerac!"

(imperative, hehe)

Some time ago at University, we had to develop a puzzle solver in FP. In the report's introduction, I wrote something like "In this project, we must code imperatively in the functional programming language OCaml". The joke was well received.
