Chapter 1619 The Gift of Love (4)
"Beer, red wine, or white wine is fine. If you give me Erguotou, I can also give you tons of it."
It's better that Wei Jingjing is not around. When Wei Jingjing is not around, she can drink whatever she wants without being nagged by her.
Bo Yan smiled and shook his head: "Neither, I'll make you a special cocktail."
Cocktail Xia Siyu knew that she was a foodie and a drunkard, and she would never let down the good wine.
But cocktails require tools. Even if you don't need tools, you still need a bar? What about rum and vodka? She didn't even mention the more niche gin (gin) and mint wine (mint wine). When she opened the refrigerator, she found that there was at most the beer they bought yesterday, and a lemon and lime that they didn't have time to drink. How to make a cocktail with so little?
Oh, if you insist, there is also a bottle of red wine, which is sold at 99 yuan a bottle in the supermarket, but in fact, no one drinks it at 19 yuan a bottle. It is also a drink from the sponsor. This thing is so unpalatable that Xia Siyu thinks it is a waste to pour a little into the stewed beef for seasoning. Can it be drunk?
Bo Yan was confident. He even got a tablecloth and took the bottle of domestic red wine, the rose beer bought by Xia Siyu, and a few cans of iced Sprite.
He smiled and asked Xia Siyu: "What do you want to drink?"
Xia Siyu looked at the wine on the table and said with a bit of disdain: "Then let's have a non-alcoholic drink."
Bo Yan nodded: "Okay."
He first sliced the cleaned small lime. After slicing, he did not put it into the cup immediately, but turned around and took a can of sea salt and sprinkled it lightly.
While waiting for the pickling, he opened the refrigerator, which contained the ice cubes he had prepared in the afternoon. He put them in the ice bucket, picked out a few pieces and put them in the high-heeled glass, and went to the balcony to pick a few pieces of green plants that the director team planted for beauty - a pot of edible mint.
Xia Siyu couldn't help laughing when she saw Bo Yan picking mint. This is the happiness of the poor, all kinds of waste utilization.
After picking the mint, washing it and drying it aside, Bo Yan put the pickled salty lime into a goblet, cut a slice of lemon, poured in Sprite, and added a stretched mint leaf on top: "Salty lemon seven cups, please enjoy."
This is probably the most simplified version. After Xia Siyu took it, she was still a little skeptical, not knowing whether she should test the poison herself. But looking at Bo Yan's confident look, and there was a camera filming, she would force herself to drink it even if it tasted bad.
Putting it to her mouth and taking a sip, Bo Yan asked: "Is it delicious?"
Xia Siyu smacked her lips: "I haven't tasted it yet."
Bo Yan smiled: "Don't worry, drink it, if it doesn't taste good, you can beat me."
Xia Siyu glanced at the windowsill, and the mint was almost bald because he had plucked it. It is estimated that when she was taking a nap in the afternoon, Bo Yan had already done a lot of preparations.
Forget it, she won't die anyway, so she picked the mint leaves, tilted her neck and took a big sip.
"Gulp"
The cool Sprite is emitting carbonic acid gas. In addition to the chill from the Sprite and ice cubes, there is also the coolness of mint. In addition to the sweetness, there is also the sourness of lime and lemon, and a little saltiness from the pickled lime. The saltiness does not take away the sourness and sweetness at all, but rather refines these two flavors. With the fragrance of mint, it is refreshing and refreshing, and it is particularly charming to drink in such a summer.
"Not bad!" Xia Siyu drank it in one gulp, and already raised her head to wait for the next glass: "Another alcoholic one!"
"Okay." Bo Yan skillfully opened the cork of the red wine with a corkscrew. This kind of red wine is really not good to drink pure, but Bo Yan transformed it.
He first poured Sprite into the goblet, then took a spoon, placed the spoon upside down on the mouth of the goblet, and then slowly poured the red wine through the spoon. Because of the different specific gravity of wine and carbonic acid, the goblet began to layer. The white of Sprite is below, and the red of red wine is above.
"A glass of Bloody Khmer, please enjoy slowly."
Xia Siyu didn't expect that such red wine could be recycled, especially that it could be layered.
She took it and took a sip. In fact, the taste was nothing special, and this kind of red wine could not become a famous Bordeaux winery. But under such conditions, such a simple environment, and the addition of Sprite, it added a touch of sweetness and carbon dioxide, and it seemed to have a sense of enjoyment for no reason.
Even if this is a bottle of red wine for 19 yuan, it has the illusion of a top winery, sweet.
She said: "I want more! It's made with red wine, let me try another glass."
"Okay, please wait."
Bo Yan turned around this time and opened the refrigerator, where there were still a few apples and pears.
Although the program team was stingy and only gave each group 300 yuan, they still prepared some basic small fruits. It's just that these green apples and pears are sour at first glance, and they don't look very delicious, so basically no one touched them.
But Bo Yan washed it, cut the apple and pear into thick slices, added lime juice, ice cubes, a little red wine, filled it up with Sprite, and put a piece of green mint. Cut a small hole in the lemon slice and insert it on the edge of the cup, which is both a decoration and can increase the sour taste.
"A glass of sangria."
Sangria is a specialty of Spain. It uses wine as the base wine, accompanied by fruit slices and carbonated drinks. It is cool and refreshing, as if you are in the passionate Mediterranean. Xia Siyu also drank this kind of wine in Sicily. The longer the soaking time, the better the flavor of the wine.
She really didn't expect that Bo Yan could make a Mediterranean-style drink here with such a small amount of materials. Even if you don't need to drink it, you will get drunk just by smelling it.
The alcohol content of the red wine is not high, and it is seasoned with Sprite and other ingredients. After two glasses of wine, I only have a slightly tipsy feeling. Xia Siyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she began to sit a little more leisurely. She even smiled: "...But this is not a way to communicate. I am not particularly satisfied with your gift."
Bo Yan smiled and said, "A rose for you."
Rose? Did he just buy roses?
Xia Siyu said: "Rose? When did you buy it? But I don't like flowers, but one flower still can't be counted."
You can only look at the flowers but not eat them. Even if you can eat them, you can't make anything delicious with the amount of one rose. And isn’t he performing bartending? What is a rose?
Boyan smiled: "Please wait a moment."
He turned around and opened the freezer of the refrigerator, and took out a model from inside.
This kind of ice cube model is also sold in supermarkets. You can freeze it into shape by pouring water into it and freezing it. But Xia Siyu looked carefully and found that this one seemed different from the ones sold in ordinary supermarkets.
This flower is lifelike. If you look closely, each petal is extremely distinct. Moreover, the color of the petals is relatively red, and the further down, the lighter the color.
