Cocktail "Armored train": only for the brave!

Now I can not believe it, but there was a time when nobody even heard of alcoholic cocktails, let alone trying them. The profession of "bartender" was not as such - alcohol poured or barmaid, or the customers themselves restaurant.

Arsenal of bartenders

Before perestroika people used the most common alcoholic drinks: moonshine, vodka, champagne, wine and, of course, beer. The choice was not great, and few people could try liqueur or vermouth - these drinks were a huge rarity and brought from abroad.

Now the menu of any more or less decent bar is simply full of such unusual names as "Sex on the beach", "Green Mexican", "Pina Kolada", "B-52". All this abundance became a reality after the market was filled with alcoholic novelties from other countries of the world.

Sambuca, absinthe, liquor "Blue Curacao", "Chardonnay" and other assortment of spirits caused great interest of the former Soviet people. There were bartenders - and this profession is now comparable with some art. Cocktails have become more popular, and interest in them has not weakened to this day.

Devil's Fantasy

Alcoholic cocktail is a drink obtained as a result of mixing several ingredients. As a rule, most of the cocktails have a soft effect: apparently, that's why girls prefer to drink these drinks more often than boys.

Of course, there are more "hard" cocktails that literally "get knocked off" a few minutes after eating. One of them is the cocktail "Armored Train".

The composition and effect of this cocktail on the body fully justifies its name - very few people remain with a sober mind after tasting this devilish idea of barmen. The main highlight of the hellish alcoholic invention lies in the fact that in 25 small glasses (they are called "shot glass") are poured in a certain sequence of alcoholic drinks of different strength and different juices. The goal is to drink the entire contents of 25 glasses, starting with the first and ending with 25! Finally, you can drink all this with a glass of beer.

If you master the whole cocktail "Armored train" - you can survive, but it's unlikely to be good this morning.

Strictly by prescription

"Armored train" - a cocktail, the composition of which is limited to strict limits. Alcohol, which is a part of - this is necessarily a quality absinthe, good vodka and natural dry vermouth.

Drinks that dilute the explosive mixture are tomato and orange juices and sprite.

The cocktail "Armored train" is prepared as follows:

1. First, you need to put in a row 25 glasses.
2. Then in each 1, 7, 14 and 20 glasses you need to pour 40 ml of dry vermouth.
3. Next, 2, 8, 15 and 21 glasses filled with 40 ml of orange juice.
4. Then pour 40 ml of vodka into 3, 9, 16 and 22 glasses.
5. Then fill the tomato juice with 4, 10, 17 and 23 glasses.
6. After letting the absinthe in 5, 11, 18 and 24 glasses.
7. And finally - sprite, which is poured into 6, 12, 19 and the last, 25 glasses.

The order should be the following: vermouth, orange juice, vodka, tomato juice, absinthe, sprite. And repeat 4 times.

What is the strength in, brother?

Why is the cocktail armored train the most powerful? The fact is that alcoholic drinks have different strengths, and it is not recommended to lower the degree. In the same cocktail, a kind of "swing" is obtained: from the vermouth to the absinthe, and then from the absinthe to the vermouth. And so - several times. In addition, sweet orange juice and carbonated sprite react with alcohol, and intoxication occurs much faster.

Barmen strongly do not recommend newcomers to drink this cocktail in the club. It is better to experiment at home - at least there is safer. Those who have already tried this infernal alcoholic fantasy and want more acute sensations can strengthen the standard cocktail "Armored Train", 25 drinks - this is not the limit. The main thing is to think with your head and do not overdo it so as not to be later in the next world.
