  • this is me.

  • And this is a usual made out for me.

  • But I'm not working.

  • I usually like exploring new bars and clubs in Hong Kong, but with the Kobe 19 coronavirus, many of these places opposed.

  • So I decided to bring the bar home.

  • I don't actually know how to make cocktails.

  • I just like drinking.

  • But I'm going to try an experiment with making cocktails at home using whatever ingredients I have on my shelf.

  • But because I don't have access to a supermarket right now, e have to come up with some substitutes.

  • So I have have finished a bottle of whiskey.

  • Some beer is orange.

  • Cucumber.

  • I have a lot of Rahman.

  • Maybe I can make something out of this, So Yeah, let's do this.

  • So the first drink I'm going to attempt is a version of a missile lotto.

  • Okay, I'm actually afraid to drink this.

  • A mish a lot is a Mexican drink that's usually made with beer, chilies, tomatoes and lime juice.

  • But since I don't have chilies and tomatoes, I'm going to try using the spicy packet from this shin ramen.

  • Okay.

  • Oh, my God.

  • That smells awful.

  • Yeah.

  • Uh huh.

  • Okay, Maybe some line will make this better.

  • Okay.

  • E.

  • Oh, my God.

  • Okay, this is really bad.

  • Okay?

  • Dumping this because this is awful.

  • Yeah, actually did anything.

  • Ooh, when you go to a new place, I want to test the skills of a bartender in old fashioned is a good thing to go with.

  • So I'm gonna use this Johnny Walker black label that I have Sherry edition, maybe take just a shot of this.

  • Usually it's made with whiskey, bitters and sugar, but I don't have any bidders at home.

  • So I'm going to try making it with tea instead because I guess t is better.

  • Theune maybe a little bit of Sarah, because I don't have any sugar.

  • So I'm just gonna use this agave syrup.

  • You go great on pancakes, by the way.

  • So to give him or of that tangy, old fashioned flavor that you get I'm gonna try that by like, sort of just peeling off some of the rind.

  • E don't know if it's a good idea to set it on fire smoke.

  • All right.

  • Funny that works.

  • Okay, let's give this a try.

  • Oh, actually, the tea and whiskey go Really well together by themselves.

  • Um, I just don't taste much of the orange, so it's not really an old fashioned, but I think I could do better.

  • I once had this cucumber soju served to me at a Korean restaurant, and it was really good.

  • So I think I'm going to try to recreate it today.

  • But then add tonic water to it so that it's sort of like a Korean twist on a gin tonic.

  • So I'm gonna start by slicing cucumbers now.

  • I used to live in Korea and used to drink a lot of soju back in the day, and the great thing about it is that it's cheap, It's sweet, and it goes down really easy.

  • Yeah, okay, On one shot of soldier will be enough has tonic water, then maybe fix it.

  • Okay, is actually pretty good.

  • Um, there's not enough cucumber taste because I have.

  • We haven't had it like sitting in the soju for a long enough time, But it's a very simple drink, and you can't go wrong with tonic water.

  • It's very refreshing.

  • I feel like if there's anything I learned today, it's basically that I probably shouldn't be a bartender and making drinks at home with improvised ingredients is very different from being in a bar with a full stock and a professional staff.

  • And I really miss that social setting.

  • I'm hoping that those days will come back soon because, God forbid, I cannot keep drinking cucumber, soju, tonics all day.

  • Okay?

  • Yeah, and then I'm getting a little tipsy.

  • Oh, my God.

  • This is so gross.

  • Uh huh.

  • Yeah.

  • Why did I think this moment?

this is me.
