Negroni... SOS: I need a singal

It’s a very complicated topic to express our feelings. I could write pages and pages, expressing my opinion, writting stories. But when it comes to feelings... Wow! That’s is another story, maybe we should have to be made a special paste to express feelings easily. I must to recognize that to put my heart on third hands, it should be the age things, but older becomes one, it’s hardest. And it isn’t selfishness, and it isn’t neglect. Just I’m tired, that everybody make it smithereens, every time I open it and starts beating.

We live surrounded by signals, all around us are issued without us noticing. And I don’t know if this also happens to you ,but, sometimes, we met with people who don’t emit signals. It produces me a great bewilderment. And I’m on this state at the moment, for this reason, I tell you I need a signal.

When our feelings are at stake, in almost all times the words fall short. Or simply they are accumulated in our heads, unable to go outside. Personally, when I get the courage to show outside these words that cost me to pronounce, I’d like to emphasize them

with metaphors, for eample, with cocktails, drinks... and flowers. So this is my way of giving life to the feelings.

For example, a Negroni, but it isn’t a vulgar negroni, this is my Negroni, because I finally gathered the courage to tell you that, I need a sign.

This is my Negroni, where the classic and the modern are unified. A perfect harmony, to make you know that my kingdom for a glance of your eyes. I only need to feel the soft breath of you on my skin to make me fell

alive. I can’t imagine I’d feel with the touch of your fingers on my skin.

This is a charming cocktail, created earlier 1919, in Florence, at Cassoni Cafe, by the barman Fosco Scarcelli. Who created the negroni for the asking of Count Camilio

Negroni, because he was tired of his favorite cocktail, the Americano cocktail.

The ingredients of this special Negroni, are:

Geranium Gin: A gin created by Henrik Hammer, who, after many studies have succeeded in extracting the essential oils of geranium, and combinate it with the juniper, lemon, coriander, cassis, angelica, licuorice, between other botanicals.

Destilled in Birmingham, in Langley Distillery. Henrik has achieved an amazing gin,

with the exact touch of London Dry Gin, but with discreets notes of geranium; so it becomes a aromatic, round and complex, definetly.

Geranium to tell you that I like you over all things; I would give everything I own because your eyes were for me, for a kiss from you.

Campari: With bitter taste, as bitter is the expected, with this quiet around me.

Campari, characteristic passion red color, is a recipe which has remained unchanged since its creation, which is jealously hidden, only few people know the exact ingredients, its between 20 and 60 ingredients.

And so quiet, in many times I only want to scream, for at least hear my echo, and know I continue in the alive world, and I don’t if in the sane world yet.

For this reason, because it was so long ago maddening unbearable stillness, because I need some movement. for such reason, I ask you a signal.

Carparo Antica Formula:

The ideal sweet aperitive, to make classical cocktails. “ The red velvet” called too. Place skin-deep emotions, risking my neck under the guillotine, that only you can operate. But I’ll take the risk, because I want that you know I’m dying to have something with you.

Some of the ingredients of this aperitive are vanilla, spices, nuts, orange peel and a few tabasco notes. A gorgeous and original mix witha spicy touch. Definetily a lush and unabashed temptation. So let your imagination runs free and send me a singal.

The method of preparation... At the bottom, I’m a classic girl and I like things the old way, but with a little personal touch. In old fashioned glass, with two ice cubes maximum, sgtraight into

the glass, you add all the ingredients in the same proportion. Garnish with a lemon slice... Well, no, wait, I think it’s better with a modern,

minimalism and discret touch... the most suggestive way of seducind... A pinch of dried crystals sprinkled Campari.

Well, this is my signal, my way to ask you... yes, yes, it’s you, although you don’t know, or we never have seen us, I refer specifically to you; no, nooo... don’t turn your head looking for anybody around you... I need your signal!

So, let your imagination runs free, take value and, PLEASE, send me a singal.

My signal is the Negroni, what’s your signal?

A " Promissory Note", please... A stiff drink.

I need a stiff drink!

Ahh!! These moments in which if anybody poke us, they couldn’t get even a drop. Moments in which the life brings us a sharp blow, a disappointment. Or simply, situations that are beyond our knowledge, that produce us a great impotence because we can’t know hot to deal wiht them.

These cases invite us to sit, to take a break in the world, to assimiltate what’s happening around us. In this cases, I would like to drink a strong cocktail, a drink that apports us energy and postivity, that brings up... I have it! A “Promissoty Note” cocktail, created by Daniel Hyatt, from Alembiq Bar. It’s a short but strong drink, with good body. And, while I stop my world, and I taste this cocktail, I want to give you some suggestions about how to take those moments that leave us in one piece.

An ideal ingredient for such situations, ginger. With a spicy flavor and smell, exotic and aromatic, and there is a good organism stimulant too, and there let the body temperature higher, and many different health benefits... This just we need in such hard moments, when we don’t know what to do.

And without further delay:

For you, because I can’t understand you, maybe you can’t understand me. Or just, because we want to understand. Let me take a sit and drink this, "Promissory Note”.

Personally, something that escapes my hands in a disproportionate, my interaction with the environment. For more than I think looking for reasons and theories, I concluded that I’m overlooking something... Is this issue was in college and I didn’t attend that day? When we were coming world with a book that I lost and don’t remember where I left?...

But to go with the cocktail because I want to start to taste it. The Promissory Note recipe are:

1 Part of Domaine de Canton. A French ginger liqueur, inspired by the French tradition of strengthen and fresh sweet e

It’s made with fresh Vietnamese ginger, half caramelize and half raw, in other way, macerated with honey from Provence, vanilla of Haití, Tunisian ginseng, among other exotic herbs.

Domaine de Canton is a liqueur with its own personality, that will give to cocktails a wide range of flavors and sensations... It provides different ways of understanding life. Other views and specially a personal touch to do it.

Open your mind to tolerate to all around us, but to some extent. It will I have little patience, or simply because I have already

endured enough. But the truth, it’s I’m not for foolishness. And as much as you ornament and put translucent veils of reality; This one won’t longer be there... And very little that you like, I can tolerated. But I can say “ Stop!” and “ I don’t like this one”.

Garnish with a radish slice, because it’s the cruel reality, I care you a damm.

Cheers!!

Sweet Moai: almost an angel.

Let me be carried allon the pesimism on my environvent. For this time, I make myself the next question, what are the six worst things that it could happen me in only one day?

And plunging me into the prevalling negativity in the ambient, I concluded.................

...........Hi! Is there anybody there?... Well, at first I present myself, I’m Ciro. Before to begin, I want to say sorry to interrupt the author of this blog. But I assure you, nobody better than me to write about the five worst things that could happen in only one day.

I forgot to say a little detail, I’m dead. A few days ago I left the living world, and well, now I’m not sure how to define myself. I guess I’m kind of celestial body, or something like this. I’m alive, I’m sure about that, but I don’t know if I’m in heaven or hell, or in the middle. In fact, I¡m not even sure of my time in this state... there are the things of eternity.

Like the girl who I just interrupted, I’ve always been passionate about cocktails and mixology. So, following her action protocol, I invite to anyone who wants to read this story, to taste an ideal cocktail for the occasion, a Sweet Moai.

The Sweet Moai Cocktail was created by Alessandro Paiva, from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. And the author’s blog “ Cocktail pour mes amis”, where further explains and describes his creations, unique and fascinating all of them, in a very original way.

Returning to the cocktail that I want you to try. There are two features that attracted me to it. The first one, its alcohol base, the pisco, exactly; The Capel Moai Reserve Pisco. This chilean pisco, this drink is made from muscatel pisco grapes and aged in american oak. It is

amber intense color, fruity aroma and hints of wood. Something characteristic of this pisco is its bottle, which emulate a Moai statue. typical from Pascua Islands. It’s believed tha the Polinesian inhabitants between the s. XII and s. XVII, built these representing their deceased ancestors, so they project their among their offspring. It’s me.

The second one, there are two cocktails in one. The good things vs. the bad things, intertwined as if they were one. Two different ways to face the same issue. This is what I want to expose.

The ingredients of this cocktail are:

2 oz. of Capel Moai Reserve Pisco.

6 oz of juice.

1/2 oz of lime juice.

3 coffee spoons of sugar.

* We’ll make two kind of juices, to present two cocktails with the same base into two tasting

glasses. One of them, with blackberries and plums, high antioxidant

power, and perfect combination of sweet and sour taste slightly sweet and nice one.

And the other one, with pear and pinneapple; Vitamin C, the symbol of elegance and hospitality. together with a sweet, delicate and smooth.

Now we have got the cocktail, so, let us go. Don’t waste so much time to complain, and you take the time to seek a solution.

As for tastes there is nothing written. To each one chooses either the most delicious. Well, take first the less you feel like... Let’s go! Taste it instead I tell you the day when I passed the five worst things in only one day... All of them in only one day!

I remember when I still lived, I was a pesimist person. Now, when I can see the energy given off by living, I could say than I gave off negative energy by every pore of my skin. I collapsed for any little thing, to interrupt my monotonous and structured life. I was always complaining about everything. Without realizing, the only thing I was getting with this repeat attitude, was to attract more negative energy of the bouncing. And that’s what happened that day...

“ I woke up startled because of a nightmare. My heart beat to 1000 per hour,

(... Oh! How I miss that feeling!... Well, let’s go!)... How I hated waking up because of a nightmare! At next, I checked my watch to see how much was for it to sound the

alarm... HORROR!!! There was nine o’clock in the morning! Just the hour when I should be at work for an very important meeting, because my future in the company depended on it... The alarm had not sounded!... How I hated waking up and realizing that I had fallen asleep.

I jumped out of bed, I went to the bathroom as fast as I could and... Nooooo!! I had cut the water. How I hated go to take a shower in a hurry and don’t have got water!

I managed me the best I could and I rushed to work. To see what he could salvage from the meeting. I really don’t know what speed was, but I arrived in record time.

Upon entering, there I found the faces of my bosses. Uf! I still hurts to remember those factions tenses, to frown, without outlining the slightest smile... Yes, you can imagine it. They dismissed me, in a company like that couldn’t allow so great lack of responsability and discipline. I wasn’t worthy of belonging to its team.

Well so I went, cursing this day, which should not have gotten out of bed.

I got in the car and left the place, where I had spent sweat and tears. I went home, with the day I wore was the best option, be covered for any other adversity. Here I wait for Marta, my girlfriend, came back to grieve at home. I opened the door, and, how strange! I could hear noises in the bedroom. The first thing I thought, thieves, what I needed!! As I walked cautiously into the room, I rule out that possibility, because I didn’t believe that thieves were so noisy. When I reached the door, I breathed deeply, I took the plunge, I turned the doorknob, and... But, but, Marta!? Alvaro!? Marta and Alvaro!? But what does this mean? To which Marta replied, “ Weren’t you in a meeting?” , and then Alvaro said, “ Dear friend, this isn’t what it seems”. I felt a mixture of anger and impotence... honestly, I felt stupid. The only thing I thought was out of this place...

I left my home. I climbed into my car, and I drove aimlessly. I can’t remember well the time spent. I stopped in front of a bar, and I came into this. I sat at the bar and ordered a drink.

I dedicated to look every people around me, I needed to entertain my thoughts... “ Certainly”, I thought, “ Look who is clumsy the waitress!!”, I didn’t finish to think it, when the waitress dropped the drink over my cool jacket, my new jacket... Useless, she had left it useless!! ... The bartender, he was waiting at the scene, and noted the state of tension in which I was. So he began to wonder...

I saw the doors open! Someone to relieve my pains... I cried, I continued to cry... and continued.

Finally the bartender invited me to a cocktail, a “Sweet Moai”... “ But, what is this cocktail? What is it mean?”. The bartender answered me, “ It’s an special cocktail, because there are two cocktails in one. I want to show you something. Drink both, and then tell me which you chosen at first time, and which in second time”. I accept and I took them both by a single shot, and then I answered him, “ At first time I drunk which taste like pinneapple, at first sight the less I liked it. And at second time, I drunk the blackberry tasted, the most atractive for me.

To which he replied, “ And if you try to take it backwards? Like in life, you should try to see the positive side of things. Or at least not sweat into the negative things. Don’t waste

so much time to complain, and take the time to seek a solution, or at least another option. Thus, you start to attract positive energy to you. If you always test first evil, only in a few moments you could try the positive flavor, because you have been the bad aftertaste... Is a better way to take life. Don’t you think?”

What a brunch of crap, I thought it. So I weht to that place where it was clear I couldn’t continue crying.

I got into my car, again. And runaway at full speed. Let’s go! I would say to me just anyone how to take life, just what I need to finish the day. I know exactly how to face life. In adition, what stupid way to give life lessons with a cock.... BOOOMMMM!!!!!

I was so focused on complaining about the “ Sweet Moai”, I didn’t see the truck that threw over me.

Obviously, I didn’t survive.

And, from that moment, I realized all the wasted moments, of all the fears that I imposed. All I realized that everything that happens in life has a solution. Everything but death, sorry have realized too late..............

...... Hey! What hapenned? Oh, oh, I think I lost the saints to heaven. As much as I try, I can’t remember the topic I wanted to write...

A bramble, ten reasons to life... And one reason to leave you

A kaleidoscope under my skin

Today is a rare day. This post isn’t like always. You don’tread about any cocktail, or any liquor or spirit. This story is full of colors, flavors, and overcoat, essences.

I look to myself, I see my hands, my face. And the only thing that I can see, it’s the pale color of my skin. What’s rare! How can so an inexpressive skin contain too many color, life and sensations at the same time? The red

one runs through my vains, but, I’ve got the hope green, the innocence pink, the peaceful blue, the acid

yellow, the black one... oh, my God, those black days!

Under this common layer that cover myself, like a shield, all the colors of rainbow beat into me. I’m a kaleidoscope of feelings and emotions, it’s

turning with no stop, obtaining differents forms and combinations, that it makes my essence.

So this essence is convulsed within relentlessly, because it craves to go abroad with terrible despair.

Well, of everybody around me, they are very few who manage to capture my essence, because most of them, fail to see beyond the color of my skin.

And the colors and scents will this story. How an insignificant and current appearance thing, can keep in it like cluster of sensations and colors, turning and turning endlessly shaping a soul.

Like Finest Call purees and premixers, with dull and artificial appearance. They are proving that ther are a high quality product, and are entering the market breakneck speed.

At firt sight gives the impression of a typical sinthetic product, the only thing that will are add chemical t

aste and subtract quality to your cocktails.

This reminds me of my car... Yes, my car, now you know why

This is my car...

Common and vulgar vehicle as they come. Not a decorative item, except the various frictions that give away my dificulty to adapt to their measures, and a few problems whit parkings columns.

But don’t be lied by this external appearance, it’s the interior...

At the moment you sit inside it, wow! How my car can changes!!

It has got heart and soul’ s porsche. The essence that my car transmits, is what seduces me to it. And I know for sure that I have chosen well.

My proposal for this occasion, is as follows. Let your kaleidoscopes turn free, show your colors and shapes, definitely your essence, and don’t lose it for afraid to stay alone. Because your external appearance is a shell that won’t matter, because there are someone that will see your essence.

Don’t prejudge, or underestimate those around us, no matter how they look insipid.

Give them a chance to show its essence, color and flavor. I assure you that many times you have earned a pleasant surprise.

Finest Call Products, thanks to the hard work of Radical Bartending School, they are getting a foothold in the Spanish market, http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002036580154. And to begin, Finest Call collaborate with ABE in 16 competitions across the country.

And you know that however hard the path, it doesn’t care if you are peach, strawberry or raspberry. The most important thing is it’s you, 100% nature. And that approach only who truly appreciate your taste.

Monkey tail... coffee things

Today is one of these days where I don't want to be.

One of these days days when I become melancholy. Suddenly, my head runs to the hidden corners of myself, almost forgotten corners... Today is a day when “ The things that I want to do before I die list”, come back to my memory. A list full of dreams, projects, whishes... full of little coffee things.

… MMMmmm... cafeine, I love cafeine! I understand the reason why it's so adictive. Since the moment that you taste, who can resist its charms?

In our tireless attempts to put the end over this adiction, as much as we try the typical phrase of: “ … never again!” , later or soon, we fall in the temptation again.

In my opinion. It's a pleasure to fall in the aroma, in the flavor, in the stimulating spirit, in the well-being condition of the coffe... taste it, smell it... although it's during only one moment... better it's two, but it's worth I have enjoyed of this little coffee things.

Although, there's no accounting for tastes. I think I'm a selective cafeine addict, I don't agree with any coffee. It must to like me. I look for quality, not for quantity. I'm a pet, not a flock.

And if I consider that one type of coffee won't convince me, I quit it, I always set very high standars.

Today I want some cafeine, I would like to enjoy of a good coffee, I'd like to make coffee things, like this Monkey tail.

In mixology, the coffee is an inspirational ingredient, aromatic, only the aroma can produces a pleasure and well-being condition in us, it's very difficult to explain, and it's impossible to runaway from there... Does this sensation sounds you? What's remember you?

In other terms, the coffee is an ingredient that in mixology get very great results, we can get a wide of flavors and perceptions very lovely and curious, you only should dare to try it.

The coffee combinated with other ingredients, can obtain many added sensations that we never though to get it...

The monkey tail, is a chilean typical cocktail, that thanks to the amazing taste is an ideal cocktail for all the year. After much deliberation, I have decided that, disposed to make coffee things, each of us must to put our personal sign, our essence. So I have created my personal version of I want to be this, monkey tail.

So, the ingredient of this, my monkey tail cocktail, are:

• 1 inch of cinnamon stick. The afrodisiac through all the times... to get the libido higher.

• 1 inch of vanilla pod. Smooth aroma, that it gives a special, discret and gorgeous touch. The vanilla likes much more, how more discret is its taste... The seduction isn't a show, it's an insinuation.

• 4 cloves. Strong aroma, spicy and deep. The clove produces a possitive effect and stimulating, it strengthens the memory, and it relieves depressing situations... And, it repels the insects... Interesting thing, undesirable flies, go out!

• 2 oz of Pisco. All of us know the war between Chile and Perú about the origin of this ancestral spirit, that it stars to be known over the world. I don't decant for any country. I only recognize that in Chile and Peru, make pisco of very high quality. I like both. On this cocktail, it gives an original, lovely and misterious... for we get to enjoy of this cafeine dosis.

So this is a chilean cocktail, I have chosen a chilean pisco, the Tres Erres Pisco Special 35º. A pisco with superior quality. An amberine color, with a soft wood flavor, and, vanila and almond notes. But it doesn't make shadow to Alejandría grapes taste, the basic ingredient of the pisco. This pisco has a very delicated distilled process, and aged in American oak casks.

• 1 oz. of Kalhúa, thte coffee liquor king, from Mexico. It makes with arabic coffee grains, it's

very characteristic for the aroma and real coffee taste, and for the dense and soft flavor.

• And, of course! 1 oz of hot espresso coffee. Intense aroma of coffee in the most pure state. The soul of this cocktail.

The preparation, easy and for enjoy it, is the next:

At first we muddled the cinnamon, the vanilla, the cloves and the pisco on the shaken... we muddled in a strong way, but smooth too; with energy, but with cuddle; to extract and mix all the exotic aromas and flavors' storm, and delicious. We must to do slowly, but with perseverance too, we have to give time enough to the ingredients for mix them in a correct form, we haven't to pressure the things.

And then, when the ambient is ready, we add the coffee, all the coffee, in all their forms, and the best of them, the Kalhúa and hot coffee, in the shaker.

Shaken with energy, and pour the liquid into a martini glass, making a double filter method. Garnish with a cinnamon stick... and voilà...

Are you coming for coffee?

If the life gives you lemons... enjoy with a Whisky Fizz in textures

That we insist to follow the constant happyness state, it's inevitable. But the life, sometimes, and in more occasions that we want, gives us many lemons. This is one of the taxs that we must to pay by the fact to be alive.

Of course we would like to live into happyness state for tiemeless. An environment where anything, and anybody interfere in our peaceful lifes, our eternally calm lifes... eternally tranquil lifes... but, what's boring! Are you sure you like it? Would is it better to say that everybody inculcate us to wish it?

I can ensure with absolute certainly is, anybody become to be happy with plenty. And this is one of the big pains of the societies throughout history. Many people live all life into the most of the bitterness, because thea wait anxious the big happiness. And they anaware of the little momments of happyness that they sacrifice fot wait the big happyness.

If anything, it has been served for me all the experiences that I acumulate in my existence. It's for learn me that the happyness will be supply us in very little portions; and almost always in the rarest form.

And for more we can try to avoid it, the life will give us lemons... too many lemons.

And, what can we do with those lemons? Well, you can advantage it, because it's no time for waste the lemons.

The basic idea is, when we have got lemons, we try to change our positions, change our direction, change our concepts, definetily, we must to try give dinamism to our lifes.

I puspose you to the liquid become gelly, foam, air.

We must to change our perspective of the things, look the life from differents sides of the prism. And with this way, we can taste lemons in a refreshing and smooth form.

It's essential for the acid taste of lemon become in a pleasure for our palate, we must to combinate it with the correct ingredients.

So my personal purpose for this time is, if the life gives you lemons; make a Whisky Fizz in textures. Where the lemon combines in perfect harmony with the rest of ingredients, and in a special way, too.

A Whisky Fizz in textures for enjoy it and you take the life with other way.
