雞尾酒霧氣讓你醉個夠

Cocktail fans in London will want to take deep breaths when they enter a pop-up bar that opens on Thursday, July 30, on the site of an ancient monastery in Borough.
位於博羅市場古老修道院內的一家快閃酒吧於7月30日開放,倫敦愛喝雞尾酒的人都想進來做個深呼吸。

Alcoholic Architecture features a walk-in cloud of cocktail that's composed of fine spirits and mixer at a ratio of 1:3. It's made using powerful humidifiers to super-saturate the air. Alcohol enters the bloodstream mainly through the lungs but also the eyeballs. Guests are advised to "breathe responsibly."
酒精建築的特點在於置身其中仿若漫步在雞尾酒雲中一般,蒸汽由上等白酒和其它混合物按1:3比例配製而成。它利用高壓增溼器來將高飽和蒸氣噴灑至空氣中。酒精主要經由肺部,也通過眼球進入血液。顧客被建議“理性吸酒”。

It's the project of Sam Bompas and Harry Parr, two friends who specialize in experiences based around flavor.
山姆•邦帕斯和哈利•帕爾是這個項目的聯合創始人,這兩個朋友專注於味覺體驗。

雞尾酒霧氣讓你醉個夠

Guests will descend through a series of dimly lit passages into a monastic-themed changing room, where they will robe up in protective clothing to prevent them from smelling like a cocktail when they go home. After that, it's into a crypt-like bar that appears to have been hewn out of rock. The drinks will be based on those made by monks, including Chartreuse, Benedictine, Trappist beer, and Buckfast fortified wine. From there, it is a short step into the cocktail chamber.
顧客經由一個個燈光昏暗的通道,進入一個以修道士爲主題的更衣室,他們在這裏換上防護衣以免回家時身上散發出雞尾酒的味道。之後,他們會進入一間地窖似的酒吧,看上去是由石頭雕刻而成的。這裏的飲品包括修道士釀製的查特酒、湯姆利喬酒、特拉普啤酒、巴克法斯特濃葡萄酒等。這裏距雞尾酒室僅一步之遙。

"Inside, the sound is modulated, so that it is like you are right inside the glass," Parr says. "It's a dense atmosphere that builds into a thunderstorm with lightning. It's a new way of experiencing drink, and it's social because it's an immersive shared environment. You all have the same flavor sensation. Alcohol tastes better, with more nuances: You can detect more subtle flavors when it is humidified."
帕爾說表示:“在裏面講話,音調會變化,彷彿是從玻璃瓶裏發出的。這裏的空氣很厚重,像是電閃雷鳴一般。這是一種體驗飲酒的新方式。它一個社交場所,因爲這裏是一個人人身臨其境的公共場所。你們都有相同的味覺感受。酒精差別越細微,味道越好:酒精溼潤後,你可以察覺出內斂的口感。

Guests will be allocated one-hour time slots so they don't have time to get drunk on the atmosphere, which Parr estimates at one unit of alcohol per hour. Entry is £10, or £12.50 at peak times. Mixed drinks for sharing include a loving cup made from a human skull.
顧客有1小時的“中場休息”時間,這樣一來,在裏面停留的時間不足以讓他們“喝”醉, 帕爾估計一個小時可以吸到一單位量的酒精。酒吧入場費是10英鎊,高峯期時爲12.5英鎊。用於輪飲的混合酒是裝在一個用骷髏頭做成的愛杯裏的。

Alcoholic Architecture will be open until early 2016 at One Cathedral Street, Borough Market, London.
酒精建築位於倫敦博羅市場教堂街1號,開放時間至2016年初。
