High Life

品 80 #8 2017 年 5 月 HIGH LIFE #8 May 2017 81 我可以理解三十年前点这款饮品,但如今有如此多精致的选 择,再去点它就说不过去了。 “我最钟爱的烈酒是金酒。我喜欢伦敦干金酒,比如 Sipsmith 和 Plymouth。Le Tribute 亦很不错,口味更加柔 和,不过还没有十分盛行。” 此时,第二款饮品已经摆在我面前。这一次,鸡尾酒杯透 着金色光泽,一股可爱的洋甘菊香气扑鼻而来,顶层蛋清的柔 软质感足以说服我:天堂里的琼浆玉液,或许就是如此吧。 Vannoni can mix up just about any drink in the world, although it’s best not to ask for a Long Island Iced Tea. “It’s nothing but a mix of spirits topped with coca- cola,” she says. “I could understand ordering it 30 years ago, but today we have so many refined drinks that it just doesn’t make sense. “My favorite spirit is gin. I like very dry London gins such as Sipsmith and Plymouth. Le Tribute is very good too, it has a softer taste and it’s a shame it is not as popular yet.” By now a second concoction sits in front of me. This time the classic cocktail glass has a golden hue to it. A lovely chamomile aroma fills the lungs and the soft texture of egg white on top is enough to convince me: if there is a drink made in heaven, this is it.
