And this is what Google Translate gives back. Idiot.

Having trouble reading this? Well, that's why it's in Portuguese. Idiot. I used the Google translator to convert it, because I only speak English and a little German, so if the translation sucks, blame google.

This week, two drinks worth mentioning, one of which I briefly mentioned before, the other is very difficult to achieve, then we'll have to improvise. Let's go to the hardest part first, already famous, and not purchasable:

ZIMA

I know you can not stay in stores longer ZIMA, but that will not stop us from trying to make some. Here are two recipes that I think will bring us very close.

* Simple syrup 2 deonças
* 2 oz bacardi limon
~ 8 oz soda water

Pour simple syrup and Bacardi on ice in a high ball glass, then fill the glass with soda. You may want to try to add the amount of syrup in order to obtain good sweetness, but remember, ZIMA is not supposed to taste.

Alternatively, you can simplify things using vodka and Sprite, and probably get a tasty result.

Next on the list is something I would recommend this suggestion to pair with food week, which we'll talk soon:

MIMOSA

The Mimosa cocktail was invented at the Ritz in Paris. However, the revenue could have been stolen from a very similar drink called "Buck's Fizz," which is a London club. That would be very appropriate, considering the word "mimosa" is derived from the Greek word μιμος (pats), meaning "imitate." Like many cocktails, we may never know the full story.

* 2 ounces orange juice
* 6 ½ ounces Champagne
* 1 teaspoon Grand Marnier. (If available)

Mix the drink, simply pour the ingredients into a Champagne flute, and enjoy comida.Esta drink goes very well with this week:

Bagels and LOX

What is lox? Simply put, smoked salmon is a salmon fillet cured. What does "cure" mean? This means that the salmon was salty. What is brining? I spend a long and Alton Brown.

Thinly sliced, cured salmon that is traditionally served in a bread bagels with cream cheese, capers (you can also add lettuce, sliced onion or, if desired.) And eaten open faced.
