After Bei Chen finished mixing a few drinks, many people were already itching to try them.
Bei Chen gestured to the Masked Band to play any rock song, without vocals, just the sounds of instruments.
However, the band Tequila Sunrise was then attributed to Karen, Mangosteen, Jiang Jing, Gui Tai, and Yu Haiyang.
Let them experience the charm of rock music while simultaneously enjoying the explosion of flavors.
Yu Haiyang couldn't articulate his thoughts on music, but when it came to alcohol, none of the four lead singers could describe it as well as he could:
"The initial taste is sweet with a pomegranate flavor, but not cloying."
Then comes the sweet and sour taste of orange and lemon juice, which helps to cut through the richness.
Then you can taste the mild bitterness and slight spiciness of agave.
Finally, there's a sweet and sour aftertaste, a complex yet harmonious flavor that's simply wonderful!
Combined with the intense rhythm of rock music, it's truly a double treat.
The four lead singers nodded frequently, clearly agreeing with Yu Haiyang's statement.
It was their first time trying cocktails, and they were truly amazed.
Moreover, cocktails with tequila as a base have always held a high status, and their unique flavor remains unforgettable even after thousands of years.
Actually!
What truly made Tequila Sunrise famous was not the author who created the drink.
It was not just that, it was the favor of two legendary bands.
The first one is the Rolling Stones, who always have Tequila Sunrise as their favorite drink during their tours.
They even named their 1972 tour "The Cocaine and Tequila Sunrise Tour".
They were absolutely obsessed with this cocktail.
The second band is the Eagles.
They once released a song called "Tequila Sunrise" on their album "Desperado".
It was the efforts of these two bands that made Tequila Sunrise a rock star in the cocktail world.
Now, Beichen has brought it to this world, reconnecting it with rock and roll.
I glanced at the time; only 10 minutes had passed. It seemed I'd have to release at least one more bottle.
Fortunately, Beichen possesses extensive knowledge of cocktails from across the globe: "This Tequila Sunrise suits the tastes of the masses, just as the masses have a high tolerance for rock music."
However, the next cocktail is not for everyone.
Just like not all rock music is acceptable.
Bei Chen's words once again drew everyone's attention, and upon closer examination, they made a lot of sense.
To put it simply, take Aunt Long, whom everyone on Earth is familiar with. Even she herself occasionally makes a self-deprecating remark: "As the saying goes, who would listen to Secondhand Rose if they didn't have some flaws!"
By incorporating the suona and hulusi into rock music, Second Hand Rose stands out in the music scene.
This results in people either really liking it or finding it too noisy.
Their works will be selective and not acceptable to everyone.
"The next wine is mainly a collision of Perrier and Cognac XO."
XO is not a type of alcohol, but rather a classification of brandy.
VS indicates that it has been aged for at least 2 years.
VSOP indicates that it has been aged for at least 4 years.
Cognac XO, on the other hand, requires aging for more than 10 years.
Such wines are relatively high in both quality and price.
As for Perrier, it is a mineral water brand from the Hexagonal country, a type of naturally bubbly spring water.
It boasts strong effervescence and a uniquely refreshing taste.
At this point, Bei Chen stopped explaining in detail and began to focus on the work at hand.
Take 40ml of Cognac XO, cool it quickly, and pour it into a short glass.
Then add a slice of ginger, a red chili pepper cut lengthwise, and 20ml of Perrier water.
Finally, cut a long strip of orange peel, which can be used for decoration or seasoning.
Place the prepared cocktail on an ice bucket, and it's done.
Seeing the fresh ginger and red chili peppers added by Beichen, you can tell this wine is spicy enough even without drinking it.
As for adding Perrier, the main purpose is to utilize the fineness and strength of the bubbles to bring out the essence of Cognac.
The aroma of ginger and orange peel perfectly balances the spiciness of chili peppers, preventing the flavor from being too overpowering.
Such a unique flavor is certainly not meant to please the general public.
Only those who enjoy excitement and crave strong flavors can appreciate its goodness.
Yu Haiyang declined to comment this time, as he still prefers the taste of tequila.
Karen and Mangosteen drink alcohol occasionally, but they don't have such strong tastes. Jiang Jing, being a girl, doesn't like it at all.
"Tsk~~ Spicy enough, so refreshing!" The only one who felt refreshed was Gui Tai.
Of the four bands, only those with an extreme, ghostly style like Ghost Band would appreciate this kind of music.
[Amazing, haha! Not everyone likes Perrier XO, and the same goes for Ghost Band. They both belong to the unconventional category, yet only Ghost seems to like it. What a coincidence!]
[I had a feeling when the Masked Band first mentioned this drink, and it actually came true! Hehe!]
This is so interesting! I'm really getting more and more interested in Hive Bar.
[...]
It's probably just a coincidence that the ghost likes this cocktail so much.
However, this coincidence inadvertently enhanced the drink's appeal, even making it a must-order cocktail for Ghost band fans...
Looking at the time again, 20 minutes had already passed. I wonder how Lu Jiuning's preparations are going.
Seeing that everyone was still in high spirits, I decided to make another classic cocktail and stall for another ten minutes.
Bei Chen tapped the side of the cup with his spoon, drawing the attention of those still engaged in a heated discussion.
"Our Miss Rabbit will be on stage in ten minutes!" Give a specific time first, so everyone won't get impatient while waiting.
He continued, "I'm afraid everyone will get bored while waiting, so I'll take this opportunity to launch another new product."
For rock music, more people prefer the "old guard".
Having weathered the trials of life, they have created more mature and profound works, whose lyrics always easily touch people's hearts.
Their singing is often full of emotion; they can stir people's hearts with just a few words.
Next up, let's rock this cocktail with a real "old hand" vibe!
Bei Chen then took out a rolled-up piece of tree bark.
"Many people may not recognize what I have in my hand. It's called cinnamon, a traditional Chinese medicine, and it just arrived yesterday."
Its benefits are too numerous to list here.
Are you starting to wonder, what do cinnamon and alcohol have to do with each other?
As Bei Chen had predicted, everyone's curiosity, which had just subsided, was reignited, like an unbearable itch from a cat scratching an itch.
"Mr. Mask is such a master at keeping you in suspense!"
This is not just one person's opinion, but the opinion of the vast majority of people.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Bei Chen took out the antique cup, lit the cinnamon, and then inverted the cup to let the smoke from the burning cinnamon swirl inside...
