ok here comes 1 of my specialities… alcohol… lol~ dun worry me’s not really an alcoholic…
just thought this will come in handy when u guys wanna order something at a bar or a club or something…
Beers / Lager / Cider (beer 是啤酒的总称，lager是熟啤酒，cider是用苹果做的，comparatively cider has a lower concentration of alcohol)
i’m personally not a big fan of these… so i’ll just list the common onces that i know…
Beck’s (beer)
Budvar (Czech lager)
Budweiser (lager, dun like this)
Carling (lager, if i have 2 drink beer then i normally go 4 this)
Carlsberg (lager)
Cobra (lager… indian i think cos the 1st time i had it was @ an indian restaurant)
Diamond White (strong cider, slightly sour i think… if i remembered correctly)
Fosters (lager, some of my friends like this… more 4 guys i think)
Guinness (irish drought bitter… very very bitter… or in my dad’s words full of taste… yeah typically the guys like this)
Grolsch (lager / beer)
Heineken (lager / beer)
Stella Artois (drought 生啤… i always have this if i order a beer, suits girls’ taste i think)
Strongbow (cider)
Tiger (beer)
White Lightening (cider, not too bad… kinda sweet tasting)
Worthington (cream bitter… with a lot of foam on top)
Wines
i would just normally drink any white wine… cos i’m not that classy so i dun really mind which make… n i dun like red wine, think it’s discusting, but most chinese ppl have red wine i think? oh there’s a tip, u r only supposed 2 chill white wine, not red wine… cos i remember at this chinese party this couple gave us chilled red wine… n i just thought, what on earth?!
here i will not give any comments… call me whatever u like but i seriously can’t taste the difference… but what the hell i’m not a wine taster or anything…
Red wine: (just the 1s i know… there r lots more but i dun recognise any of them… u can always look these up in a supermarket or something)
(australia n new zealand)
Jacob’s Creek
Montana
Nottage Hill
(south africa)
Cape Grace
Kumala
Long Mountain
(america)
Blossom Hill
E & J Gallo Sierra Valley
(france)
Blason de Bourgogne Pinot Noir (burgundy)
White wine: (dry wine is slightly more sour)
Barramundi (chardonnay)
Jacob’s Creek chardonnay
Montana (chardonnay / blanc)
em… since i dun have any specific demands regarding wine… i normally just pick up whatever is chilled…
onto the clubbing scene… alco-pops 中国好像叫水果酒？女生喜欢的… 含酒量不高，又甜甜的… i used 2 order these when i go out…
they can b sparkling or still (带汽的，或没有汽的)
vodka drinks (含伏特卡)
Red Square (just have to mention Pink Ice… cos u know, it’s pink)
Reef (think it contains vodka… can’t remember it was so long ago since i had 1 of these, judging from the bitterness… it should b vodka) this is a still drink…
Smirnoff (black / red) Ice
Vodka Mudshake (these r lovely… cream flavoured drinks… my favs r caramel fraise, but i don’t think they sell these in bars)
WKD (blue is nice i think)
ok… here’s the well known Bacardi Breezer… it is a rum drink… dunno what rum is in chinese but it’s different from vodka… less bitter…
there’s also Archers Aqua, another alco-pop, very girlie fruity drink… that is Archers based
dunno what that is specifically… just checked on the bottle n it says schnapps… no idea what that means… sounds german (possibly some sorta drink made from apple??? not at all sure)
here comes the Mixers
i just love these… always have these @ bars
basically wiv mixers, u just mix a juice / fizzy drink wiv spirit or liqueur (果水或汽水调的在一起的酒)
just remember the names in bold so u can order them @ bars (ps these r still quite girlie drinks… what can i say? i’m a girl… guys… u can order the beers la~)
the spirit: Gin (bitter tasting… disgusting to drink on its own)
the fizzy drink: tonic water…
combined: gin n tonic (dun like this much cos i hate gin)
the spirit: Vodka (u can virtually mix vodka wiv anything…)
the most common ones r vodka n orange, vodka n coke and vodka n lemonade
the liqueur: Malibu - this is a sort of white rum
sweet tasting, a hint of coconut flavour…
pls whatever u do, don’t down it on its own, 别一口喝下去, it tastes disgustingly thick n sweet… but it’s very nice if it’s mixed wiv fruit juice… highly recommended if u like coconut flavoured things
the fruit juice: pineapple or orange juice
the combination: malibu n pineapple or malibu n orange
the liqueur: Tia Maria (haven’t tasted this on it’s own… so i’m not 2 sure what it tastes like on it’s own…)
typically we drink tia maria n coke
the liqueur: Bacardi - white rum…
yeah mix wiv all kinds of drinks… but generally if u r in a bar n u wanted a bacardi mixer… u’d just order a bacardi breezer e.g. bacardi breezer, cranberry flavour or whatever… i only said that cos it’s pink…
the spirit: Archers - peach tasting spirit…
similar 2 archers aqua… u can order archers n orange or archers n lemonade
em… not sure about this one… cos i’ve never had it…
the spirit: Pimms… i dunno what should go wiv it… but sorta remember my friend ordering pimms n lemon? not sure…
other liqueurs… just drink them on their own…
e.g. Baileys very nice drink made wiv irish cream
if u r hosting a party @ home… a great suggestion is 2 put baileys on top of icecream… it’s very nice
also there is Amarula, again a cream liqueur… it’s made from amarula fruit in africa… very exotic taste… the girls will like it… but can’t get them in bars i think…
there r also other spirits… e.g. whisky, scotch whisky (dad loves bell’s), jack daniels… but this r all guys drinks… (well i think they r cos they r 2 strong 4 me) so i dun really know anything about them… sorry guys! u r welcome 2 add anything u know here…
the party gets heated up… wiv shooters / shots
these r supposed 2 b downed very quickly… they come in little shot glasses… (一口喝下去)
ok… the 1 that every1 has been talking about… Tequila shot, sprinkle some salt on the back of ur hand, lick it, down the shot, then suck on a piece lemon… this stuff is great
After shocks
red: sort of a cherry / watermelon flavour? not sure… fruity… it’s thick n i always down it quickly so i dun actually kown what it tastes like (水果味道)
blue: disgusting! that’s all i remember… very thick… n i dunno what it tastes like… slightly more bitter than the others i think
green: kinda menthol taste… quite nice (薄荷味道)
Screaming orgasm a kinda warm, creamy shot… i’m guessing it has some sorta cream liqueur in it… quite nice
Sambuca there is a very exciting way of drinking it…
chew a couple of coffee beans, set the shot on fire… put it out then drink it…
it feels warm… but it tastes really disgusting… tastes of liquorice (刚刚查了 licorice 中文是甘草) i dunno what that is but i hate liquorice… i just drink sambuca cos of the whole fire effect… hehe…
there’s also Black Sambuca which is darker n tastes more of liquorice… haven’t tried this 1…
Black Russian tastes of coffee… very nice since i like coffee… but this might b ur traditional shot cos it doesn’t come in a shot glass… it’s normally in a normal glass, covering ice cubes…
there’s also this liqueur drink that i had at a bar in reading… bar 38 i think… it’s called Death by Chocolate the girls will love it i think… it was beautifully presented, comes in a wine glass, decorated wiv whirls of chocolate syrup…
Vodka shot just pure vodka… nothing else 2 b said… just down it…
Absolute Citron one kind of vodka shot… there’s this vodka brand called absolute vodka… well absolute citron is absolute vodka wiv a hint of lemon…
a touch of class… Cocktails
here i’ll just name the more popular n wellknown ones served in a bar… otherwise we’d b here 4ever cos there r thousands of cocktail recipes…
Cosmopolitan pink/red colour… a vodka based cocktail wiv cranberry juice n a hint of citrus… decided 2 try it cos they always have it on sex n the city… n it’s pink of course
shaken, not stirred…
Dry Martini vermouth / gin wiv a hint of orange… garnish wiv olive (上面有一颗橄榄的) 2 b honest i dun like this… it’s 2 strong n not fruity enough… but i ordered it 4 the 1st time cos i thought it looked really classy on sex n the city… hehe…
Margarita tequila drink most of the time… u can order different kinds of margaritas, e.g. Pineapple Margarita
Sex on the Beach vodka drink again… fruity… exotic… red coloured…
Pina Colada rum drink… i absolutely love this cos it doesn’t taste bitter… coconut flavour… slightly milky taste… very very nice…
Manhattan: vermouth drink… tastes of cherry n orange… not keen on this cos it’s again a bit bitter 4 my taste…
White Russian vodka wiv coffee liqueur, very creamy… i like this cos it’s very sweet… a gud 1 4 the girls…
Bloody Mary u can tell from the name that it’s red… er… it’s not very nice… has tomato juice… not my thing… but some of u might like it… it’s vodka based btw…
Sunrise orange / red colour… vodka based… tastes of orange juice… my friend bought it n i tried it from her glass…
there’s also Tequila Sunrise i haven’t tried that… but i imagine it’s a similar sorta thing but instead of vodka u get tequila…
there’s also Long Island Iced Tea but i’ve never tried that…
there r thousands more… but as i’ve said i’m not gonna list all of them… if u r interested in making cocktails urself then u can check for the recipes online…
ps i’d like 2 add here that this post is not intended to promote drinking… but 2 b honest it’s part of what uni’s like here in england… so this is a sort of an insight into the english culture… n pls note that u have 2 b over 18 to drink…
hehe… hope this is helpful…
