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?
