After a whole lot of hassle during a busy day, it is best to relax with a nice dinner, some exotic mysterious drink and a gruesome abominable movie.
I will not disclose the content of my dinner but I can say it had a Chinese influence and it was big, I will go straight to the drinks and movies.
I don't usually consume any alcoholic beverages but as a summer is slowly crawling in our thermometer my blood pressure is going south, so I need some inducers to keep me stable and not breathing via gills. Just for a record, as a person who naturally has a low blood pressure, I can vouch that sweet and fatty food does absolutely nothing to elevate it, but salt and any sort of alcohol will bring it a bit up.
I will share one drink with you, it is not an actual cocktail, more like a mixed drink. It is safe, tested, causes no problems and I will list all things included plus the data which makes the unsafe popular mix.
This drink which is made by my own home recipe, and tested by me is called simply Zoner, because it is what it does. It is made by one can of HELL energy drink ( type Classic, I don't advise anything stronger than that one), 0.05 mL of green walnut liqueur ( Orahovac, 28% alcohol by volume), some lime juice, and ginger for an additional taste.
250 mL can of HELL contains not less than 30 grams of sugar and around 115 calories, so this is sweet as hell, you can be sure of it. It also contains 80 mg of caffeine, which is double less than an average amount of brewed coffee, so don't expect to make it your morning ritual.
This mixed drink is not made to influence you much, but give it some time and you will see it can go for miles. It is in fact very calming and mercilessly sweet. The lime will tone down the sweetness and ginger will add up some warmth for a final taste.
Unlike most of the energy drinks mixed with the liqueurs, this one will not make you feel any enhanced physical and psychological side effects, actually, it will completely zone you out, and that is what makes it different.
This is because neither the alcohol percentage nor caffeine are high levels like in average caffeinated alcoholic beverages that fancy various parties ( AEDs - Alcoholic energy drinks- are quite popular) to get you in a state of being a 'wide-awake drunk', but the impact is altogether long lasting. I will not advise you to use this if you have a documented vascular health problems, high blood pressure or if you get tipsy easily.
Final word, most of the AEDs are much stronger than this ( Vodka Red Bull and similar) , contain an insane amount of sugar, caffeine, and alcohol which can give you more trouble than fun, possible but not excluded palpitations, trouble sleeping, restlessness and a complete overdrive of a central nervous system. Feeling that you will literally fly off the handle included.
Any levels higher of the ones that I just listed are unsafe and if offered at some harmless garage party, please, smoothly refuse the offer.
How do I know all of this? I used to be a cocktail bartender in a summer resort, so go figure.
For the end of my daily rant, I give you one gruesome movie to go and see. This one is dealing with inner fears and anxiety gaining form and how to deal with it, in unusual circumstances, of course because essentially it is some sort of a soft horror.
Thank you for reading and visiting my blog!
