TRAGUITOS


Estos cadáveres fueron una tarde en la terraza del hotel Pulitzer en Barcelona, terraza que recomiendo, fuí bartender en barcelona por dos años, y me encántó, sobretodo me encantó conocer el mundo de los cocktails, en cuanto a bebidas alcohólicas se refiere siempre fuí de tinto y whiskey, preferentemente bourbon (llamame Jack), así que iré tirando algunos de mis favoritos y otros favoritos en gral, va el primero, unos de mis top 5:
Long Island Ice Tea (léase té helado de long island):
1/2 medida de vodka; 1/2 medida de ron; 1/2 medida de gin; 1/2 medida de triple seco (tipo cointreau, grand marnier), jugo de limón, preparar un almibar con mucho azúcar y agua hirviendo (dejar enfriar), mucho hielo, vaso grande y coctelera con todas las ganas, finalmente un toque de coca cola (de ahí el color), decorar con rodaja de limón.
La calidad de los licores es directamente proporcional con la resaca del día siguiente.

All of us, at one time or another,
have experienced the strange
physiological reaction of zygomatic
stimulation and subsequent larynx
strain.

This strain upsets the respiratory
system, which results in deep,
noisy gasps. The mouth opens
and closes as the lungs struggle
for oxygen.

The struggle for oxygen causes
the face to turn various shades
of red and strange, unique noises
emerge from deep within.

What is this strange, physiological
reaction I am describing? It is
laughter!


We normally associate laughter with
humor. But, gelotology, the study of
laughter, suggests another trigger for
laughter called the incongruity theory.

This theory suggests that laughter
arises when logic and familiarity are
replaced by things that don't normally
go together--when we expect one
outcome and another happens.

Generally speaking, our minds and
bodies anticipate what's going to
happen and how it's going to end
based on logical thought, emotion,
and our past experience. But, when
circumstances go in unexpected
directions, our thoughts and emotions
suddenly have to switch gears and
laughter emerges out of the tension
between what we expect--and what
actually happens.
