Bei Chen mixed two drinks, one for Lu Jiuyuan and the other for Yu Haiyang, thus fulfilling his promise to let Yu Haiyang taste the first drink.
"Bloody Mary, that name sounds bloody, I wonder what it tastes like?"
The previous wines were neither particularly good nor bad to Lu Jiuyuan; they were just average.
Perhaps it's a matter of personal preference.
But this Bloody Mary has salt, Worcestershire sauce, and even black pepper added. Isn't that just bizarre?
It doesn't feel like they're mixing drinks, it's more like they're making hot pot.
Despite the cocktail looking like it had a tomato soup base, Yu Haiyang and Lu Jiuyuan couldn't resist taking a sip.
As for the taste, it's really hard to say!
Everyone was watching the two of them closely, hoping that good things would come out of their mouths, which would mean that there would be another good wine to taste.
Yu Haiyang exclaimed in surprise, "The combination of tomato juice and vodka is so magical! The texture is extremely smooth, with a slight spiciness that trembles on the tongue and between the teeth, leaving an unforgettable aftertaste."
Lu Jiuyuan added: "Not only that, this wine has all five flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, but it is not chaotic and each flavor has its own characteristics."
The stimulation and richness of its taste are the most I've ever experienced.
Lu Jiuyuan was more knowledgeable about wine.
Hearing their analysis, Bei Chen nodded repeatedly.
Traditional Bloody Marys are made with fresh tomato juice, unlike some bars that just use ketchup.
They even dared not add many ingredients, resulting in a significant deviation in taste.
Bloody Mary's reputation never recovered from that point on.
Since it's troublesome to make and doesn't taste good, many bars have simply removed this drink from their menus.
Therefore, it was not common to find a shop that made Bloody Mary in the previous life.
Even if it exists, the taste may not be authentic.
“Mr. Lu is right. This Bloody Mary is not only full of flavors and has a rich taste, but it is also a very healthy drink. I wonder if Mr. Lu is satisfied with this?” Bei Chen began to challenge him.
Lu Jiuyuan's lips twitched slightly after hearing this.
Health preservation?
How can we not take care of our health!
It's 50% tomato juice, how can it not be healthy?
As for the taste, it was actually quite good for someone like him who prefers strong flavors.
But he's acting now, so he can't immediately admit how powerful Bei Chen is.
She shifted her gaze slightly, avoiding direct eye contact with Bei Chen, and said, "It's just so-so!"
His tone was noticeably unnatural.
Everyone around could tell that Lu Jiuyuan was just being stubborn.
Of course, they didn't know that this was the effect Lu Jiuning wanted.
"Alright, since Mr. Lu is still not satisfied, then let me see if this second wine can impress Mr. Lu!"
Taking this opportunity, Bei Chen plans to bring out two more wines.
The remaining two must each have something unique about them.
Seeing that it was almost time, Bei Chen took out the frozen butterfly pea flower water, which had now turned into a butterfly pea flower ice ball.
There was a large patch of blue in the transparent ice, with a hint of cyan, which was quite beautiful.
Then, Bei Chen took out a rare cup, a Mount Fuji glass.
It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and its shape is very similar to a volcano.
Pour 10ml of grenadine syrup, 20ml of gin, 20ml of white rum, 10ml of whiskey, and 20ml of vodka into a glass.
After stirring evenly, we come to a crucial step: ignition.
Ignite the liquor in the glass, causing its surface to burn.
Therefore, the alcohol content of the base liquor used cannot be too low, otherwise it will not burn.
Now comes the crucial part: the butterfly pea flower ice ball, which is placed at the rim of the glass.
A very magical scene then unfolded.
Because the ice puck is some distance from the cocktail below, it produces a plume of smoke that flows down like a waterfall.
If a regular ice hockey puck is used, it produces white smoke.
But the ice hockey puck was deliberately colored by Bei Chen, and with the butterfly pea flower as a backdrop, plus the original lighting effects of the bar.
Thus, the smoke, with its blue and purple hues, was ethereal and visually striking.
Everyone was amazed by this scene:
[Ahhh, this is so beautiful! Does this masked gentleman have magic powers?]
[I never imagined that just having a drink could result in something so beautiful. It's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!]
[So elegant, so incredibly elegant! I would call it the most beautiful cocktail ever!]
[I suddenly really want to learn this! I could show off perfectly in front of friends or family!]
[Shouldn't I visit the Hive Bar at least once in my lifetime?]
[...]
Those who haven't tasted Bloody Mary can't say whether it's good or bad.
But this new cocktail is different; it's visually perfect.
No one had ever seen such a cool cocktail before, especially girls, who were captivated by the stunning scene.
In an instant, this new wine became the talk of the live stream, with many people even taking screenshots and sharing them...
"What's the name of this wine?" Lu Jiuyuan's voice trembled slightly.
The number of drinks he's had and the bars he's been to is countless.
But never before had he been so amazed as by the Hive Bar.
It made him feel reluctant to leave.
Bei Chen pointed to the wine and softly uttered, "This wine is called Blue Star Gravity!"
It's a variation of the Gravity Cocktail.
To maximize its effectiveness, Bei Chen used butterfly pea flowers from the very beginning.
"Butterfly pea flowers, known for their health benefits, combined with cocktails—it's both visually appealing and delicious. I wonder if it will satisfy Mr. Lu?"
Ask this question a second time!
This time, Lu Jiuyuan was truly speechless with dissatisfaction.
Such a cool and perfect wine, I've never seen anything like it in my life.
To object again would be going against my conscience.
[Hahaha, Xiao Jiu, who is usually so eloquent, is speechless right now. This is truly historic! I've already taken a screenshot!]
To be honest, I was absolutely blown away by this wine. I think no one who sees it for the first time would be unimpressed!
[Xiao Jiu didn't lose unfairly. From now on, you can play drums for Mr. Mask. Who knows, he might even give you a song, hahaha...]
Fans habitually call Lu Jiuyuan "Xiao Jiu" simply because he was very young when he debuted.
As for liking to tease Lu Jiuyuan, it's because this guy is too Zen-like.
Sometimes they release two songs in a month, and sometimes they don't release a single song in a year.
Especially in the last two years, they haven't released a single song, which has infuriated their fans.
Just as Lu Jiuyuan was about to speak, Bei Chen cut him off: "Since Mr. Lu is not satisfied, I have one last new wine here. Let's see if it can meet your expectations!"
Are there any new wines?
Everyone's anticipation is building; Hive Bar is really going all out!
Three new wines released in one day—whether they taste good or not is another matter, the sheer volume alone is already a winning formula…
