cocktails + kinnporsche

it's very much procrastination featuring casual drinking and wiki spirals, the fuel for this episode of nobody-asked-but-listen.

cocktails: shown

1. Blue Margarita

“and for Lada…a little special, i’ll handle it”

the drink name was not mentioned but this looks to be a blue margarita:

tequlia + lime juice + blue curaçao + simple syrup + salt rim

a blue margarita introduces the colour by using blue curaçao instead of the more common orange liqueur (triple sec), which despite the decidedly unnatural colour, is an liqueur that is also orange flavoured (the colour is artificially added), and slightly more bitter than triple sec.

this was also served to tankhun during his virgin visit to yok’s bar (or at least a suspiciously similar blue drink).

2. Burnt Orange Old Fashioned

“make me a drink”

i mean, they already dropped the ingredients, it’s an (bourbon) old fashioned:

bourbon + sugar + aromatic bitters + orange rind

except! there is a slight variation.

serving an old fashioned usually involves squeezing and occasionally rubbing (no minds in the proverbial gutters) an orange peel around the cup, typically on the rim to let the citrus oil add a little extra flavour and aroma to the drink (a good cocktail tastes great and smells great, as is the common adage).

porsche torches the orange peel instead, which is interesting. the flame used might be to add some smoke and enhance the orange-y aroma (fire slightly caramelises the citrus oil).

or maybe, it’s just to add a little flair to the cocktail preparation. appreciatively, porsche taking the time and extra-ness to make a fancier old fashioned might just be an act of dominance posturing in the capacity of his station, behind the bar and beneath the unavowed threat of a bunch of mafia dudes in the bar sitting in a row like the rockettes.

3. Flaming B-52 Shot

“ffffiiiiirrrrreeeee”

a lit drink, literally. probably a flaming B-52 shot:

coffee liqueur + baileys + grand marnier + rum

or, a b-52 shot with flames (courtesy of the rum), served with a heatproof straw to protect the pretty faces.

porsche knows how to start a party. liquor com describes the drink as a good-looking shot that “goes down easily and is usually followed by calls for another round”, which was exactly what happened.

3. il cuore de kinn

“meaning?” “kinn’s heart”

very sweet, literally. from the short bartending kinn clip, the drink has:

honey: specifically a honey with the label “THAI HONEY” (which is also in my kitchen cabinet).

2. xii gin: it’s only in a blue bottle, which took some creative googling. had a suspicion it was a gin / tequlia / vodka of some sort, given how the drink is honey coloured (so clear alcohol, not flavoured liquors such as campari, kahua etc) and those are the usual alcohol used in mixes. xii gin is also a dry gin, which would be better for what i think this cocktail is. 

3. lemon: it was on the cutting board (which is very messy, tell-tale sign that the man hasn’t worked in food service ever TT TT) with a huge chunk taken out of it, lemon juice was probably in that drink

as expected, there isn’t some ready recipe for one to be at a bar ordering kinn’s heart, but i believe this is likely a Bee’s Knees:

honey syrup + lemon juice + gin

the gin used should preferably be a dry one (see above on gin xii). the ingredients are shaken, which results in a cocktail that has a yellow hue identical to the drink that kinn is serving up — if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

side note: point to make is that most recipes call for a honey syrup, not just honey, like kinn is doing because honey doesn’t incorporate very well being a viscous liquid, especially in cold drinks (the cocktail is usually shaken with ice, because tepid cocktails should not exist).

earlier in the same episode, the drinks the boat party attendees are also drinking a similar drink.

cocktails: mentioned

1. Pink Lady

“for this beautiful Jang. Pink lady”

well, porsche sure knows how to pick em drinks, pretty drink for a pretty lady:

gin + applejack + lemon juice + grenadine + egg white

it looks cute and tastes more of candy than spirits but there is a lot of alcohol in the drink.

2. Shaken Vodka Martini

“and the charming kaproy, vodka martini, shaken, not stirred”

to remember that a customer prefers vodka (martinis are also commonly made with gin) in her shaken (martinis can also be stirred) martini is why porsche deserve a lot of drink tips.

this is also popularly known as the james bond drink:

vodka + vermouth + olives

shaking vs stirring

shaking a cocktail (usually with ice) dilutes the drink more (making it weaker) and chills the liquids faster, nothing you wouldn’t expect from going for a rough tumble with ice.

gin vs vodka

gin tastes “botanical” (herby) and vodka is easier to drink (aka less complex).

others

1. A T Beer

“what are you doing here”

i don’t think this beer is an actual product. the too-obvious placement should have tipped me off. Chang comes into mind when i think about a thai beer that also use green glass bottles.

2. Remy Martin Louis XIII

“do what you want to do”

it’s an expensive cognac, more than a month of my wage kind of expensive. the slight confusion in the bottle being the Louis XIII (the cognac, not the french king) but the cap being more Martin XO (does not cost my monthly wage).

3. Fever-Tree Premium Indian Tonic Water

“welcome to hum bar!”

not an alcohol but a mixer still counts right?

4. Generic Whiskey

maybe it’s bourbon, or scotch. it is just a brownish drink in a nice glass usually served from a crystal decanter and whiskey fulfils fictional tropes of both the mafia and rich people. the bar at the back also seem to only contain whiskey bottles.

5. Generic Champagne

it could be prosecco, but i’m not going to insult the Theerapanyakun wealth like that. 

(okay, that's all)

My friends who have never experienced flooding, and who are about to deal with it from this storm, please remember:

1. NO. YOU CANNOT MAKE IT THROUGH THAT WATER ON THE ROAD. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE DRIVING. TURN. AROUND.

2. DO NOT GO WADING THROUGH THE WATER. EVEN IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE HOW DEEP IT IS. THAT. WATER. IS. CONTAMINATED.

3. IT IS CALLED FLASH FLOODING FOR A REASON. THE WATER RISES AND SURGES IN A FLASH. STAY. HOME.

4. If you're at risk of flooding, raise up any of your belongings now. Put the legs of tall things in buckets. Know where your important documents are.

5. Stay safe.

The discussion around Ariel TheLittleMermaid baffles me bc if my dad literally destroyed a bunch of stuff I collected in front of me in a terrifyingly violent display of anger and I had a witch offer me an out if I could score the boy I thought was hot, my name would be on that dotted line before you can say "poor unfortunate soul". What do you mean she's stupid, her dad ravaged her Special Interest Cave like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum, I would also run the fuck away

hey for everyone talking about jury nullification etc etc: it only works if you lie and say you dont know what it is. if youre chosen for jury duty and they ask you if you know what it is, you say no. here's an article going more in depth, and here's the cgp grey video about it.

like. just so we're clear, it's good to know about, but if you go into a courtroom and start talking about nullification, you could very well have voided your place on that jury. be smart about it 👍
