-
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?
