Giorgi and David are opening a bar called the Blue House - and it’s not going to be another martini lounge, nor will
it be a wine bar, sports bar or anything else. When the Blue House opens - October 31 is the goal, though it might be
early November - it will be a video bar, which, being the first of its kind in the region, requires a bit of explanation.
“These bars are not spread everywhere,” says Giorgi who got his idea from one of the few other
known video bars. “There’ll be a cinema-sized screen above the bar and that will have lots of
popular movie bits mixed in with the music. One night of the week will be popular show melodies,
another nights we’ll play old sit-coms that you haven’t seen in 30 years. It’s constant entertainment.”
The kitchen at the Blue House will be cheap which means inexpensive yet tasty dishes like croissants, pies,
Giorgi and David consider their bar and grill to be very friendly and expect a mixed crowd of people that
“We’re not trying to do anything extraordinary. It’s just for fun,” says David, “It’ll be a light atmosphere”.

Marie: Just had a debate about this with a friend. The worst part is the lack of “bar

Lesson 10 How to make a tasty cocktail
Read the following and try to understand the underlined words from the context.
After a certain period it is time to make blender drinks. There’s nothing more refreshing on a hot summer night
than ice, fresh fruit and concentrated alcohol. A blender, therefore, is an absolute necessity, and it’s important
that you use a powerful one that can crush ice cubes.
If you don’t have a blender, you can crush the ice cubes in a tea towel or plastic bag with a hammer, but use this
method very carefully. Finally, use recently-made ice cubes. Old ones may taste of other food in the freezer,
and nobody likes a hint of frozen cauliflower in their peach Daiquiri!
You’ll also need a cocktail shaker, a measuring cup and a selection of glasses. You should also have swivel
sticks, bendy straws and paper umbrellas.
Garnishes are also important. Use a slice orange or strawberries to serve on the lip of the glass or drop right on
top of the drink. And serve Margaritas with sugar or salt on the rim. To do so, take a small plate, pour salt or
sugar on it, then take a piece of lemon run it around the edge of the glass, turn the glass upside down and dip
the rim onto the plate. Finally, shake the glass gently to remove any loose bits.
