Round 1
had greasy food for dinner, so the first cup was replaced by a refreshing fruit drink (what concept?), Mr. Miyauchi recommended seasonal ingredients that can represent autumn — orange , paired with gin and grapefruit wine brought back from Japan as today’s first glass of wine.
Mr. Miyauchi is full of stance
Fruit special-orange cocktail
Just drank it is a fresh orange aroma, coupled with the citrus-based gin, the refreshing feeling of sweet and sour is naturally needless to say, the grapefruit is tasty The wine makes the taste of the drink thicker and makes up for the problem that orange cocktails can easily become watery. The end rhyme brings back the medicinal aroma of Weiwei Gin, which is very competent as the first cup of relieving greasiness.
But it should be particularly reminded that the orange juice is directly pressed with fresh oranges. Mr. Miyauchi keeps the pomace in the cup, so when drinking it, he will drink it with the seeds. Those who like a clean taste may want special Pay attention.
colleague editor: I feel that Mr. Miyauchi should treat this as a small fruit (?), and he also attached a spoon so that you can scoop up the fruit and eat it. Quite fresh and sour, just be careful not to crush the seeds and swallow them together~
Seasonal fruit cocktails-Orange
Sparkling drinks-Liqueur Tonic
An uncommon Taiwanese liqueur brought back by Mr. Miyauchi from Japan . The item part of the label is indeed written "liqueur" in Japanese, which is concise and powerful... In short, this Keys&Bricks liqueur tastes a little bit of candy, and is paired with bitter toning water, which makes the whole glass of drink interlaced with slightly sweet, slightly bitter, slightly sour candy on top of the light bubbles. The aroma not only relieves greasiness, but is also full of fun.
colleague editor: I have always felt that this wine has the taste of ancient candy, like the fruit candy in the tin can, very interesting taste.

classic cocktails—Rusty Nail (rusty nails)
embroidered nails are a classic cocktail that British gentlemen like very much (well, the story has a chance to tell). You can rest assured that the wine is definitely not because of the smell of rust, one of them It is said that the color is like the rusty appearance of iron nails, so it is named after embroidered nails. At the same time, it is said that embroidered nails have the meaning of "antique taste" in English slang and are very suitable for gentlemen.
This glass of bartender uses scotch whiskey and whiskey honey liqueur. Mr. Miyauchi chose the relatively conservative Glenlivet. As the main base, the whole glass of wine is a balanced and not too sweet taste. The balance of the combination of the two is quite high, which is very suitable for those who are new to classic bartending. But veterans may think this glass of wine is too safe and lacks some of their own personality, it depends on how you choose.

Intermission: Mr. Miyauchi is now available Sharing time
Compared with the usual formal Japanese bars, Mr. Miyauchi has fully demonstrated a hospitable and lively side, and is happy to share his collection and himself with us What I saw and heard in Taiwan's wine industry, of course, is used in English, Japanese and Chinese interchangeably.
Lively Mr. Miyauchi, I heard that this bottle of wine is 10 times the price of Taiwan in Japan.
Round2
After a short break, he immediately entered the second round of battle. This time he started drinking with classic sour wine and creative cocktails.

classic bartending—Side Car (Side Car)
What kind of side car does Mr. Miyauchi use? The classic combination of the common Hennessy VSOP and Cointreau Orange Wine appears. The sweetness and sourness are not particularly prominent, and the taste is relatively convergent. It is a cup of side car (Side Car).
Side Car (Side Car)
classic cocktail-Penicillin (Penicillin)
Very refreshing Penicillin, not sweet and not greasy, Laphroaig 10 (Laphroaig 10) peat aroma degreasing effect. What is worth mentioning is the choice of wine and materials. Mead is used instead of honey, and Japanese blended whiskey is used. In addition, when I drink it, I will continue to drink ginger slag. I personally like to eat ginger, so it doesn’t matter (chewing), please go with Jiang Kong!
colleague editor: What is very special is that the acidity of this penicillin is very low, and the spiciness of fresh ginger is very outstanding. It is the first time I tried this interesting taste! (Friends who don’t like Jiang, please avoid this cup, basically he is Nicillin Jiang)

Mischief Original Bartending Time-Business Friends Special (The name is picked by yourself)
because the editor proposed A strange demand: "What is the strangest and most interesting bartender on your side?" We got this "Bolida bartender"!
The unexpected result is very interesting! Rum, Paulita, peach liqueur, and pineapple form a worker friend drink in a suit (what a strange adjective). The tropical fruit aroma of pineapple and the herbal aroma of Paulita are very closely combined, plus honey The sweet aroma of peach ends, it can be said to be a good drink full of humor! (Finally understand why the labor friends want to use Sasaya coconut milk!)
Tomorrow's strength!
