透明可樂出現在台灣超市架上時,引起我用這款可樂調「古巴自由」雞尾酒的興趣,但怎麼調,味道都不對。

When the transparent cola appeared in the supermarket of Taiwan, I was interested in using this Coke to make “Cuba Libre” cocktail, but how to adjust it, the taste is not all right.

我想學調「古巴自由」雞尾酒的動機,源於電影《教父II》。

The motivation for me to learn how to make the “Cuba Libre” cocktail is derived from the movie “The Godfather II”.

麥可柯里昂,照理說應該是心機深沈、不那麼愛喝酒、時時保持清醒的人。

Michael Corleone should be a person with deep minds, less love to drink, and always awake.

那麼我當年看了電影《教父II》後,為什麼學調「古巴自由」雞尾酒,而不是「香蕉黛可莉」雞尾酒呢?

After then I was watching the movie “The Godfather II”, why bother to learn to make “Cuba Libre”, instead of “Banana Daiquiri”?

麥可柯里昂在跟敵人海門羅斯鬥智時,從沒看他喝酒,在古巴跟兄弟佛羅多會面時,佛羅多喝的是「香蕉黛可莉」雞尾酒,而麥可喝的只是蘇打水。

When Michael Corleone talked to the enemy Hyman Roth, he never drinks. When he met his brother Fredo in Cuba, Fredo drank a “Banana Daiquiri” cocktail, while Michael drank only the club soda.

電影頻道重播了電影《教父II》,記憶裡的答案終於再度浮現:

麥可一直都知道兄弟佛羅多就是叛徒,前面問了他幾次,認不認識敵人海門羅斯跟中間人強尼歐拉,佛羅多都裝蒜說不認識。

One movie channel replayed the movie “The Godfather II”, and the answer in the memory finally reappeared: Michael always knew that the brother Fredo was a traitor.

He asked him several times before he knew the enemy Hyman Roth and the middleman Johnny Ola.

And Fredo said that he did not know these people.

後來,佛羅多應麥可要求,招待政商友人,在哈瓦那看一場外號「超人」的巨大性器表演,在酒酣耳熱的興奮裡,佛羅多說溜嘴,說這個哈瓦那的性愛表演劇場,是敵人海門羅斯的手下強尼歐拉帶他來過的,並邀請所有人看秀的人舉杯喝下「古巴自由」雞尾酒。

Later, Fredo took Michael and business friends to watch a “Superman” sex show in Havana.

Fredo slipped his mouth to tell everyone that he had been invited by Johnny Ola to this Havana sex performance theater.

At that moment, Fredo propose a toast to “Superman(with super dick)” with “Cuba Libre” cocktail.

麥可柯里昂確認:親兄弟佛羅多就是叛徒,

此時的麥可,只能輕輕攪拌手邊的「古巴自由」雞尾酒喝下,來掩蓋情緒。

Finally, Michael confirmed that his brother Fredo was a traitor.

At this moment, Michael could only gently stir up the “Cuba Libre” cocktail at hand to cover up his emotions.

麥可喝完「古巴自由」雞尾酒下一場戲,就在古巴總統府裡抓緊佛羅多的頭,說出那段著名台詞:

After the scene, Michael finished drinking the “Cuba Libre”.

The next scene, he grabbed Fredo’s head in the Cuban presidential palace and said the famous line:

「我知道是你!佛羅多!你傷透我的心!你傷透我的心!」“ I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!”

麥可確認親兄弟是叛徒,嘴裡的滋味,是「古巴自由」,

再也沒有比這更黑暗的雞尾酒了。

As Michael confirmed that his brother was a traitor, the taste in his mouth was “Cuba Libre” and there was no more dark cocktail than this.

「古巴自由」雞尾酒,不能用零卡可樂或透明可樂,要不然就不夠黑暗了:

“Cuba Libre” cocktails, you can’t make it with zero-coke or transparent cola, or else it’s not dark enough:

蘭姆酒,兩盎斯;
新鮮黃檸檬汁,五盎斯;
可口可樂,四盎斯。
(蘭姆酒:黃檸檬汁:可口可樂比例是2:5:4)2oz (60ml) of light rum
.5oz (15ml) of fresh lime juice
4oz (120ml) of cola
Add all ingredients to a collins glass with ice
Stir to mix all ingredients

喝酒不開車、不騎車,連騎自行車都不應該!
