Bar:
Big Rose Bang
Bartender: Lucy Chen
Cocktail: Concrete Mixer
Big
Rose Bang, nestled at the foot of Dadu Mountain in Shalu
township and directly across from Providence and Hong
Kwang universities on TaiZhongGang (Taichung Harbor)
Road, is a fun and funky little spot to mix it up with
college students and a handful of Shalu foreign residents.
From the outside, the place looks deceptively small,
with only the narrow upstairs bar area upstairs. Downstairs
is a full stage, a large projection screen and large
bar.
Soon-to-married co-owners Andrew Marychurch and Lucy
Chen showed me one of their house favorites: the Concrete
Mixer. Though not technically a cocktail, this drink
is a lot more fun than most. The taste is sweet and
tart, and a bit like ice cream.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 shot glass Amarula
* 1 shot glass Lime Juice Cordial
DIRECTIONS:
Pour the shot glasses to the brim. Pour the Amarula
into mouth, keeping it there. Quickly pour the lime
juice cordial into mouth. Shake head vigorously to mix
ingredients. Swallow.
