Martini represents Virgo: pure and detail-oriented.
Margaret represents Cancer, and is gentle and sensitive.
The Godfather represents Libra, embodying fairness, justice, and a pleasing aesthetic.
Bloody Mary represents Scorpio; she may appear cold on the outside, but she is actually very tender inside.
These five drinks correspond to the five zodiac signs. Seven more will be released soon to complete the twelve zodiac signs. When that's done, all you zodiac enthusiasts can come and have a drink!
[A cocktail representing a zodiac sign—that sounds intriguing.]
[Wow, Hive Bar is really something, managing to connect themselves to this. But it all sounds pretty reasonable.]
[Quickly, quick, I'm waiting to collect all twelve zodiac signs, and get a drink for each one—it'll be absolutely amazing!]
[...]
Linking cocktails with zodiac signs has indeed piqued the interest of many netizens, especially those who are obsessed with zodiac signs, who have fallen in love with it and exclaimed that it's awesome.
When Tang Lida saw that Hive Bar had linked cocktails with the twelve zodiac signs, he slapped his forehead.
"No wonder Hive Bar was able to rise so quickly; having cocktails as a form of hard currency is one thing."
There are also endless marketing tactics like these.
This Mr. Lu is truly skilled; I must learn from him if I have the chance!
This visit left Tang Li with an even deeper impression of the Hive Bar.
Phantom Bar is currently ranked 4880th, but he has a feeling that Hive Bar will catch up soon—it's his intuition as a businessman!
only!
This time, Lu Jiuning was somewhat wronged, as she had no idea that Bei Chen would come up with this.
She was still wondering when Bei Chen had developed this marketing acumen.
She was completely stunned. If Bei Chen had been so quick to think, the Hive Bar wouldn't have gone out of business.
However, he didn't oppose Bei Chen's actions; on the contrary, he was quite supportive.
Using the twelve zodiac signs as a starting point, whether as a gimmick or for promotion, is a good idea.
As for Bei Chen, he only remembered this matter at the last minute, and just mentioned it casually in order to find an excuse for the later release of the cocktail.
I never expected it to cause such a big reaction...
However, his focus is not on that right now, but on Zhao Kuang.
"Mr. Zhao doesn't seem very interested in cocktails?" Bei Chen noticed that Zhao Kuang only took a sip and then put the cocktails aside.
Zhao Kuang smiled helplessly: "That's true to some extent. Maybe it's because I'm used to drinking tea, but I still don't have much interest in alcohol."
I see!
These things really can't be forced.
But who says tea can't be paired with alcohol?
"For our last new product, let's incorporate some elements from Kyushu. I believe Mr. Zhao will be interested in this one."
After saying that, Bei Chen went into the bar's kitchen and fetched some hot water.
He took out jasmine tea leaves and began to brew them.
Tea has always been a symbol of Kyushu, and whenever guests come, several pots of tea are always brewed.
That is the Kyushu culture that has been deeply ingrained in our bones!
[Is Mr. Mask planning to combine jasmine tea with alcohol? Would such a drink actually taste good?]
I've thought about it for ages but I still can't figure out what it tastes like; it just feels really strange.
Milk tea is usually paired with black tea, green tea, or jasmine tea, so adding a little alcohol shouldn't be a problem, right?
Seeing Bei Chen's actions, many people have already started to imagine all sorts of scenarios.
Even Zhao Kuang couldn't sit still any longer, eager to know what it would taste like to mix wine and tea together.
Then Bei Chen took out another fruit that was common at the end of August—longan!
Take about 15 longans, remove the pits, and then pour them into a shaker. Use a crusher to press out the juice.
Next, pour in 45ml of gin, 10ml of lemon juice, 15ml of syrup, add ice cubes, and shake.
After shaking well, remove the bucket-shaped smoothie cup and add ice cubes to chill.
The wine is then filtered out and topped up with jasmine tea.
Garnished with flowers and green leaves, a Chinese-style cocktail is complete!
"This wine is called 'Drunken Beauty'!"
When Bei Chen revealed the name of the wine, many people were already captivated.
Regardless of the taste, this cocktail is already a winner in terms of appearance alone.
Exquisite and translucent.
The title was changed to "Drunken Beauty," which is full of poetic and artistic charm.
It makes you want to take a bite right away.
[Ahhh, is this the Kyushu-themed cocktail that Mr. Mask mentioned? It looks so good! Slurp... I really want to try it!]
I suggest adding more cocktails featuring Kyushu elements; the names like Martini and Margarita are too hard to remember.
But once "Lost Love in Times" appeared, it just wouldn't leave my mind.
[Yes, yes, I feel the same way. If the gin could be replaced with Kyushu baijiu, it would be even more unbeatable.]
[...]
Why do songs with a traditional Chinese style become popular? Why do almost all songs with opera-style vocals become hits?
That's because everyone has the traditional culture of Kyushu deep in their bones.
That's the result of being influenced from a young age.
It's fine if you don't encounter it normally, but when you do meet it in certain circumstances, that feeling of being connected by blood becomes especially strong.
"Lost Love in Times" is a perfect example; its appearance and name are both very appealing.
This was the first time Zhao Kuang had ever been so eager to try it.
Longan has a delicious flavor, moderate sweetness, and a rich aroma, which made it a favorite of the ancient royal family.
Jasmine tea is quite delicate, and instead of ruining the unique aroma of gin, the fragrance of jasmine enhances it.
