'Cocktail Potion' by Transworld Transfer Bartenders

"No, what about the guy over there called 'Pernod'?

When I was skipping consciousness to the cocktail, Fujitoma asked.

In those eyes, can you drink them that way? The colour of the dull expectation was floating.

Today, Phil brought me two bottles. One is' Absinthe 'and the other is' Pernot '.

If "Absinthe" is more of a "demonic grass of the Absintheceae", then "Pernod" is probably something like "subspecies of the Pasticeae".

"Unfortunately, if you don't like Absinthe, Pernod probably won't fit your mouth either."

"Really?

"Yes, because the flavor lineage is mostly together"

Speaking of flavor lineages together, Isotoma blushed.

That honest attitude makes me smile, and I'll briefly explain why I am.

Relationship between 'Absinthe' and 'Pastis'.

To explain them, we must first enter from the history of Absinthe.

Absinthe is a type of herbal-based liqueur that was made mainly in various European countries.

Absinthe's name comes from the Greek word 'apsínthion', which means' yomogi '. However, it is interesting to note that it is not only related to' absence 'which means' absence 'in English.

Because that 'absence' suits this liqueur very well.

It seems that fate has been decided since birth.

The famous herb formulated in Absinthe is' Nigayomogi ', which supposedly came from the name. They also have a wide variety of other medicinal herbs, such as anise and liquorice, but I'll put that aside first.

This' Nigayo Mogi 'is what we can call the symbol of the specificity of this liquor.

Like any other drug liquor, Absinthe was first made as a medicine. I guess that turned into drinking alcohol in a way that allowed the taste to be recognized.

In terms of price, too, it seemed often affordable for a high number of degrees, and one theory says it spread around the common people as something cheaper to enjoy than wine.

By the middle of the nineteenth century, it had become a common alcoholic beverage.

And the widespread absinthe is also known for being loved by various celebrities.

Particularly famous is the painter Gogh.

It is Absinthe who loved him all his life, who is said to have sold only one painting in his lifetime.

As a familiar figure as a Japanese, his name also rises as a liquor quoted by Taizai in his writings.

But this absinthe will disappear around the beginning of the twentieth century.

One of Absinthe's key ingredients, Nigayo Mogi, is supposed to have a reason for this.

Nigayomogi contains an ingredient called tsuyon, which is found to cause hallucinogenic effects similar to marijuana.

In addition, the degree of absinthe is very high, roughly 55 to 70 degrees. Simply put, it's a high alcohol volume that you need to be aware of.

Either of those causes still doesn't seem to have the right answer.

However, as a result, people continued to become 'addicted to Absinthe' in Europe.

For example, the aforementioned Gogh is even said to have cut off his own ear with hallucinations caused by Absinthe poisoning. Of course, the truth is uncertain.

Countries that took a heavy look at the situation began to ban the manufacture of absinthe with nigga yomogi.

Less than a hundred years after his appearance, Absinthe disappeared from the tabular stage of history.

The meaning of 'absence' is what is said to be telling the story of one's own destiny.

But Absinthe enthusiasts left in the world still asked for Absinthe, even if banned.

So it is the 'pastis', which has the meaning 'something similar (to Absinthe)'.

Pastis is a type of alcoholic beverage made by improving Absinthe's methods.

As a characteristic, Absinthe's problematic 'Nigayo Mogi' is not used in the ingredients, and now has a taste similar to Absinthe's.

Instead of no strange bitterness derived from nigga yomogi, little else is different from Absinthe.

Pastis, made as an alternative to Absinthe, also became widely known among liquor lovers in the world.

In modern times, the manufacture of Absinthe has resumed by placing restrictions on the value of the tsyon contained in Absinthe.

Of course, manufacturing on a restricted basis would be separate from pre-regulation, but it still makes no difference that there are fans around the world.

At the same time, pastis is also loved in the world without the manufacture ever ending again.

There is also a wide variety of pastis, one of which is' perno '.

However, Pernod is not technically a 'pastis', supposedly.

When applied to strict standards, there is one missing ingredient for naming 'pastis'.

Nevertheless, neither 'pastis' nor 'perno' can be classified as' pastis' sensibly, as they use the herb 'anise' as their main ingredient.

I've explained it for a long time, but in short, 'Absinthe' and 'Pastis' are brotherly liquors.

Therefore, I don't really hear that "Absinthe" is OK, but "Pastis" is OK.

"So with either of these two, as a bar, it's generally okay."

The face of the place listened with interest to the story of the other world where I was born.

of, but especially the two of them who had a rejection of Absinthe looked cloudy from around that Absinthe was regulated.

"... What do you mean, this guy's a poison?

"No, no, no, you're not treating poison as a potion. There isn't, is there?

I just got a little nervous and looked at Phil and Sally, but the disciples shook their heads beside each other.

Well, I'm talking about not knowing.

"... for now. I think it's okay because it tasted like I knew it."

"... I knew it was so hard to drink after being adjusted."

"No, well, yeah,"

In hard-to-drink areas that are easy on boulders, I'm not willing to defend them.

Either way, it's definitely hard to drink.

"Nevertheless, people who enjoy it straight are quite fond of it. There's a famous way to drink this."

As I said, I pointed to two glasses that I had left on the workbench. One is rock glass. The other is a cocktail glass.

I was finishing up my next cocktail choice while giving a long explanation with my mouth.

What I have on hand are two glasses of Absinthe. Together, there is a slight decrease in capacity, but they are both 20ml and so on.

One is on the verge of an isotoma, the other is on the verge of a cravel.

"Mr. Isotoma. Does that mean lady first?

"Hmm? You don't mind, do you? But why?

"No. Just for a second, I had time to wash the equipment or something."

While sweetening Isotoma's generosity, I made an excuse for not dressing well.

Basically, if I put two cocktail orders in at the same time, I'm mottled to finish those two at the same time.

of, but only with regard to 'Absinthe', I would like to pay attention to the rest of the instrument in relation to the fact that the instrument will no longer be available on the way. Especially now, I'm not ready for that.

There are still sudden visitors in, and there is still a chance that the counter will be busy, and I want to avoid making two bar spoons, including spare ones, unusable together.

So I decided to focus first on a glass to Cravel.

To serve her is a bold arrangement of simple drinks.

Even so, the ingredients you prepare are very simple.

Base, of course, the absinthe she was drinking.

The only ingredient to add to it is water.

Of course, not only that, but let me try to make it a little easier to drink.

First, prepare the lime first.

As always, cut into sixths and remove the central white muscles and tips. Then, I gently cut in, squeezed the fruit juice in the rock glass, and dropped it.

Stick a couple of slightly larger pieces of ice straight into the large rock glass of your mouth.

Generally speaking, I think that tumblers suitable for splitting water are often used, but this time I also thought about this later arrangement and dared to choose a rock glass.

Steered lightly in that condition to cool the glass and dropped a slightly smaller amount of 'absinthe'.

The green liquid reacts to only a little melted ice water in its glass.

Slowly began to cloud into it, pouring in the water that had been prepared.

Steer the white-colored liquid firmly this time.

Twirling, the liquid turns with the ice. Quietly melt the world in the glass together so as not to make a sound.

The cooled liquid slowly stopped the steer, anticipating when to start frosting thinly in the glass.

Feel everyone's gaze concentrate on the glass, and put in just a little explanation.

"[Pastis Water] is a good way to drink when you drink Pastis, not Absinthe. And I put some lime in it, and I'm changing my palate a little bit."

[Pastis Water] is, as its name suggests, Pastis' watering. Pasty and mineral water one-on-five. Approximately 30 ml of pastis will contain 150 ml of water.

That's the simple way to drink, but that's why you can enjoy the alcohol itself. For humans who like pastis, it is a well-liked way to drink.

So when Absinthe asks me if that's the case, there's something in Absinthe's traditional drinking style that uses a tool called Absinthe Spoon.

I'll give you a break for the detailed explanation, but very briefly, it feels like Absinthe's watercress is melted with squared sugar.

I suppose it can be said that the watering of alcohol in this lineage has traditionally been familiar.

…………

But if you look at it properly, Krabel is an ambiguous expression.

I don't have to ask.

"How does the earlier hard liquor change to the extent that water is added?"

The emotion of suspicion has come to light from her expression.

Even so, that's how it's supposed to be.

I'll end up putting her special magic on this one.

As a final finish, I dropped a bright red syrup with a berry flavor - only 1 tsp of grenadine syrup - into a rock glass.

Red that sinks loosely to the bottom by specific gravity. It's in white, it's impressive red.

After I did that, I offered her that cup. Serve gently with muddler.

"Thank you for waiting. Take a sip as it is at first. If it doesn't seem to fit your mouth, stir it in the muddler and have another bite."

The offered cravel looks at Phil's face next door, not me, anxiously for once.

Where Phil nodded to reassure him, he swallowed up gokuri and spit as he was ready.
