Chapter 104: Bartending
Meng Kang followed Qin Kaihai through the crowd to the bar and ordered a cocktail each.
The most valuable thing about a cocktail is its mixology, and it's hard to serve customers delicious cocktails without a good bartender.
There were several bartenders at the bar, and the one who bartified Meng Kang was a hot-dressed girl, with a black tight leather jacket, a low-cut outfit, and a ponytail.
It's hard to say, Meng Kang is the first time to enter a bar, and it is also the first time to drink this kind of wine, usually going out to drink is either beer or ordinary liquor, and he has never been exposed to this kind of thing.
So Meng Kang couldn't help but be attracted by the movements of the beautiful bartender, only to see the wine bottle constantly tumbling and spinning in his small hands, throwing up, catching, and adding wine from time to time.
Meng Kang was not very familiar with the wine in the bar, it was Qin Kaihai who told him a few wine names, which Meng Kang chose by himself, and he wanted the blue coral reef.
This cocktail is made with vodka-based liquor, mixed with blue orange peel, pineapple juice, citrus liquor and other accessories, the blue orange peel brings a bright color, pineapple juice and citrus wine bring sweetness, and the blue coral reef is blue as a whole, and the taste is sweet and soft.
Meng Kang watched the bartending process very carefully, and felt that the other party's bartending was like the feeling of him configuring potions in the game, and he needed to remember the proportion of ingredients and the order of addition.
After the wine was brewed, the bartender poured the wine into a glass and handed it to Meng Kang.
From the outside, the characteristics of this cocktail are as wonderful as the blue sky and white clouds, and as mysterious as the deep sea.
Tasting its taste, the wonderful blend of vodka and fruit juice, with this glass of bright blue, refreshing in the mouth, refreshing in the heart, as if in the Maldives island, this is a summer and holiday cocktail, very suitable for the current Meng Kang.
Qin Kaihai asked for a glass of Bloody Mary, the red color is also very charming, Qin Kaihai took a sip of wine and asked Meng Kang if he wanted to go to the dance floor to find a girl to dance, Meng Kang shook his head slightly, he was not used to this atmosphere, he came here to drink and relax and celebrate.
Qin Kaihai said "I really won't enjoy it" and got into the crowd, while Meng Kang sat at the bar and watched the crowd carnival there, drinking alone.
After a drink, the beautiful bartender at the bar asked Meng Kang if he still needed it, Meng Kang looked at the wine bottles and bartending props and suddenly became interested, and asked the beautiful bartender: "Can you teach me bartending, it looks very fun." ”
The beautiful bartender smiled lightly, she didn't know how many guests she had met in this way, the guy in front of her was quite handsome, but she wouldn't be tempted, so she wanted to refuse politely, and said to Meng Kang: "Bartending is very difficult to learn, just the technique requires a long time of practice, you can't learn it in a few months, and I don't know how many wine bottles to break, I don't have so much free time to teach you." ”
"Tricks? Is that it? ”
Meng Kang suddenly reached out and snatched the wine bottle and cocktail glass from the beautiful bartender's hand, making the wine bottle spin and jump in his hand like a dagger in his hand, and threw it into the air from time to time, and then caught it steadily.
The monotonous movements show the color of a rookie, but the flexibility and stability make Meng Kang's all this seem gorgeous.
The beautiful bartender was even more surprised, because she could see that Meng Kang's current movements were completely imitating the actions she had just bartended, but the steps of pouring wine and mixing juice were omitted, and the imitation was not very smooth, but there was no mistake.
Seeing this, the beautiful bartender couldn't help but ask Meng Kang: "You really don't know how to bartend?" You didn't lie to me, did you? ”
Meng Kang stopped, put the things on the table and said, "I really don't, I can't even recognize a tenth of the wine here." ”
"Then why are your movements so standard, almost the same as mine."
"I've practiced similar hand movements before, and my imitation ability is also good, and I just imitated you."
Meng Kang's explanation was quite acceptable, which made the beautiful bartender believe it, but people still didn't want to deal with Meng Kang.
"I'm a little busy right now and don't have time to teach you, sorry."
Meng Kang heard the other party's refusal, and didn't care, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay, bring me another cup of the one I drank just now." ”
This time, Meng Kang looked more carefully, and silently wrote down the appearance of the wine bottle when the other party added wine, now he just doesn't know what the wine is called, as long as he remembers the appearance of these wine bottles, and then lets him configure it himself, he can completely copy the other party's actions.
Because he had been refining the potion in the game for two days, and looking at this simple bartending again, Meng Kang couldn't help but say, "It's so simple." ”
Although the music and talking in the bar were loud, Meng Kang's words were still heard by the beautiful bartenders, and what they hated the most were those who stood and talked without backache, although she had just seen Meng Kang's learning ability, but she didn't think Meng Kang was qualified to say so now.
"You think it's easy?" The beautiful bartender put down the things in her hand and looked at Meng Kang angrily.
Meng Kang didn't notice the other party's expression, nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I just watched it again, and I learned everything." ”
"Blow, you just blow it to me, I'm so angry, how can I meet such a braggart guy during this time." The beautiful bartender thought so in her heart, and couldn't help but want to make Meng Kang make a fool of herself.
"Didn't you say you learned? I'll let you try it once, but if you can't adjust it, let's see how you get off the stage. ”
Thinking like this, the beautiful bartender said to Meng Kang, "Really? Why don't we make a bet and see if you can make a cup of blue reef? ”
Hearing this, Meng Kang looked at the beautiful bartender and asked, "Bet?" What's the stake? ”
"If you lose, apologize for the 'simplicity' you just said."
"What if I win?" Meng Kang asked with a smile on his face, looking at the other party's smooth face.
Seeing Meng Kang's provocative smile, the beautiful bartender couldn't help but wonder if Meng Kang was really sure, but she didn't believe it, thinking that Meng Kang was bluffing, and Silver Tooth bit and said to Meng Kang: "If you win, I'll have a one-minute long kiss with you." ”
When the bartender said this, four girls came over, and they were very interested in hearing the bet between the two, Meng Kang was very surprised when he heard the bet of the other party, and he originally planned to refuse, but these people came at an inopportune time, if they refused, they would be mistaken for a weak heart, so they would have no face to continue to sit here.
Meng Kang sighed and had no choice but to agree, propped up the bar with his hand, jumped into the bar, and flipped out his mobile phone to check how much of each material needed to be placed.
Vodka: 1.7 oz
Blue Orange Liqueur (Blue Orange Peel): 1 oz
Lime: Half a word
Sparkling water: 3.4 oz
Lime slices: 1 slice
Crushed ice: Lots of it
Meng Kang looked at the information on his mobile phone, and the corners of his mouth twitched, what is this ounce? And how do you weigh something like a balance here? The beautiful bartender looked at the things in Meng Kang's mobile phone and smiled in her heart, this person doesn't know what the configuration ratio is, how can it be matched?
Especially when she saw Meng Kang checking what unit the ounce was there, she couldn't hold back and laughed, which made Meng Kang very helpless.
In bartending, the ounce is a unit of volume, but the bartenders here do not have scales, and it is completely controlled by the bartender's experience.
Meng Kang shook his head, turned off his phone, closed his eyes, and recalled the every move of the beautiful bartender just now.
The vodka seems to be added to a fifth, and the blue orange peel is added to the ...... place, and .......
After recalling it carefully, Meng Kang's brows furrowed, fortunately, he looked carefully enough, remembered it very clearly, and could recall it completely.
Lining up the wine and juice that needed to be used in his memory on the bar in order, Meng Kang reached out and began to mix wine.
Meng Kang has learned such a difficult thing to configure potions, and Meng Kang is very sure of this kind of bartending that is not too complicated.
