Zhangjiajie Qiaoqiao (Knock) Liquor

Food 2013/04/18 View：2611

Zhangjiajie Qiaoqiao (Knock) Liquor, both special in name and in appearance, is a kind of liquor with clear luster and light yellow color. When you have a taste of it ,a fresh and sweet bamboo fragrance will tease your taste bud. Its producing process is rather fastidious: people of Tujia nationality will inject rice wine into the bamboos which grow wildly in spring, which will ferment the liquor and integrate the fragrance of bamboo into the liquor at the same time. Thus, all the liquor in the bamboo tube will undergo the natural brewing of spring and summer, and wait until the coming of fall. When the bamboos have basically formed, people will cut them down and store the liquor in their cellar for drinking later.

The unique method to open the liquor: before drinking, one has to knock a hole at the top of the bamboo tube. And the number of knocks also contains different kind of meanings: one time means the host’s welcomes to his distinguished guests, twice means that the host wants to drink to the guests’ heart’s content and three times means the host’s great wishes to be your sworn brothers!
