Sinful Nights of Alcohol

Before I start, I would like to truthfully deny something that was posted by this blogger as stated below .. haha

to ask for sexual favours, leave a comment
here :P

By the way, the here links to travelfiles.blogspot.com which happens to be the blog you're at now. I would nonetheless give anyone sexual favours if asked but I don't think anyone would want anything like that from me. So yeah, thanks for the promiscous publicity blogger .. haha

However, I would like to point out that sexual desires may without doubt be easily appeased here in europe. Though not in spain, let's remind ourselves of the fact that prostitution is legal in germany, holland and greece. No optical illusions involved here. All you sexually deprived ones out there may very well rush to the nearest travel agent to book yourself on the next flight to amsterdam.

Prostitution may not be legal here in spain but the funny thing is that there's like free porn on tv. Makes it sound like japan. I had not known of this till it was pointed out by no one but my gila mum.

How she discovered it, i'm not so sure as they only start showing them sometime after midnight. I mean its not all porn .. some still show normal tv and no, I am not hooked on porn but I have come across them while flipping channels. So for porno freaks, madrid it is for you ..

Look at what was featured on one of the bus stop advertisement columns. If there was a similar ad in kl, the government would be fuming while the MPs would be debating it all day in the Dewan Rakyat. Proves how open europe is.

Forgetting everything sexually related, we now come to the original topic of alcohol.

Let me first mention that alcohol mostly wine and beer is almost dirt cheap here in spain. My mum even substitutes water with white wine when cooking certain dishes. The proff is as shown above. Only 0.75 euros per bottle of wine. The trick is that the cheaper wines generally don't taste as good as the more expensive ones. However, it's still alcohol-ish and well tastes like wine. An unexperienced cina pek won't even notice. Still purple corour mah ! wtv

That's one of the huge rows of wines you can find at the local supermarket here. That's just like one rack. Let's say in total you find triple the amount of alcohol seen above there of all kinds of prices.

As such, I've been all kinds of I would say cocktails prepared by my mum without the knowledge of my step-dad of course. I credit my parents who exposed me to alcohol with beer at first when I was young and of course my mum for developing my taste in it. I sound like I'm addicted to it ..

I'm including minor instructions too so you all out there can try it yourself. Those of you who drink will like it.

1st Night - Sangria

Sangria is like some authentically Spanish drink. This is a mixture of many kinds of fruit which I suppose are mainly citrus fruits together with like red wine and honey . They just ferment it next till it becomes alcoholishly wine-like.

This you probably can't make yourself. It's however sold in like cartons here in any supermarket. I would recommend the one above, Don Simon as it's one of the best in the market though you could have better at Botin. It's a lil different from wine. Since it has a mixture of fruits, it tastes more sweet than normal wine. Fruity aroma and taste ..

2nd Night - Bacardi Coke

Bacardi Coke ain't exactly my favourite but it's still nice. Bacardi with a hint of coke. Simply add like 1/4 parts of bacardi and 3/4 parts of coke in any cup of your choice. It looks pretty much like a cup of coke but you'll know when you taste it. Worth a try. I would recommend using normal coke although we had used diet coke. Throw in two ice cubes.

3rd Night - Gin Tonic

added with

Gin tonic is one conconction known to many. Making it is the same as bacardi coke just that the 1/4 part should be gin while the other 3/4 should be tonic water. Place together a few slices of lemon to kind of give it slight flavouring. Like how you add strawberries into water so do not even bother squeezing the lemons.

It may however get a tad too strong for the unexperienced few. Slight headaches included but rest assured you'll get a good nights sleep. Strangely, this is what's experienced by my mum, not some weak drinker but not me. Maybe its because I'm still young .. perasan.

I would recommend using Gordon's London Dry Gin and Schweppes tonic water. Best of its kind. We used the Caprabo tonic water since we ran out of Schweppes. Caprabo's the supermarket I've blogged about and their tonic water ain't that bad.

4th Night - "Screwdriver"

added with

you get

This one here is my personal favourite. Nothing complicated nor scary here as it seems to sound. "Screwdriver" as told by my mum is just the name given to this drink by the spanish. It's generally carbonated orange juice mixed with vodka. For this drink, you generally add the amount of vodka you can bear with and just fill with the orange.

Absolut Vodka as many know would be the best to use. It's sad we don't have fanta in kl. All we have to substitute it in kl is F&N Orange .. yucks. Even orangina which is no longer on the market tasted better. F&N's one just tastes like food colouring completely. This one is seriously worth trying. It won't be as strong as the others. Sadly, vodka just isn't cheap in most parts of the world.

I've even a few times added orange fruit in it together simply giving it a silly name such as "Orange Surprise"! lamenya ..

5th Night - Shandy

added with

you get

I'm quite sure that the first thought that came in my mind upon seeing the word shandy would be a can of ready-made Anglia shandy. Not that Anglia shandy sucks or anything but why not mix your own equally delicious shandy since shandy esentially is just beer with lemonade. It is best that you use a glass like above for shandy. It's ok to have more.

The way we prepared it may be different from the actual way but it's still ok. Just pour half a can of beer and equally add lemonade preferably carbonated. Weak drinkers and first-timers can easily opt for this. I still remembered how happy I was drinking shandy during the pangkor trip .. siau.

Sinful or not ? It's up to you. So, grab hold of some alcohol when you can .. As I'm ending this post, I'm sipping a glass of rose wine produced by Familia Torres from Catalunya. Makes me wonder whether Fernando Torres is realeted to this Familia Torres ?
