The Quiet Sipper v. The Loud Sipper

There we are enjoying a meal and sipping our favorite cocktail with friends, when out of the blue there is that unmistakable sound. The ear-piercing sound of someone who is having difficult consuming their beverage without the whole world hearing. Yes, we have all been in those situations when all we really want to do is ask someone to drink softer or slower for that matter!

Are you a loud sipper? Do you tend to attack your beverage? Whether it's a glass of wine, a cup of coffee or a glass of soda? Many time people have no idea that their loud drinking habits are irritating the person next to them. We are always worried about which fork to use or whether we are cutting our meat correctly, but slurping a glass of wine can be just as rude as chewing with your mouth open.

So take a moment the next time you are enjoying that frothy latte or intoxicating skinny martini to notice if you are one of those people who are making others cringe. Remember that change only comes from within yourself. Become the change and it will spread to others.

What's Your Drink of Choice?

Written By: Ooh La La (Danielle Marie)

We all have that "signature" drink.  One that we go to in times of need, in times of sorrow, times of joy or times of relaxation.  The funny thing is that we usually don't change our drink based on our mood.  If you're a champagne person, well, you go for champagne all the time!  Maybe Mimosas in the morning, a French 75 (see recipe below) with lunch and a pink champagne cocktail with dinner.  Whatever your drink, we can guarantee that it has evolved with you overtime, but it is always "your drink". 

Did you ever think that your "preferred" drink might say something about you?  Don't panic here, it isn't a bad thing.  There may just be a common denominator between your temperament and your choice of drink. 

Sauce of Life Tip: Most people are a combination of 2 of the 4 temperaments. 

Which two temperaments do you relate to? 

Choleric: these people are usually drawn to be leaders with ambition, passion and energy.

Melancholic: these are the perfectionists who are typically introverted, but are very thoughtful.

Phlegmatic: these people are content with stability and don't stray far from what's comfortable.

Sanguine: these are the social, fun-loving people who want to enjoy life and rarely lack confidence.

WHAT'S YOUR DRINK OF CHOICE?

Margarita: Sanguine (can't miss out on a party!)

Corona Beer: Melancholic or Phlegmatic (not likely to take a risk)

Champagne: Choleric or Sanguine (Choleric drinks this for position and Sanguine drinks this for pleasure)

Scotch: Choleric (drinks to portray leadership or power at a business dinner)

Red Wine: Choleric or Phlegmatic (Choleric drinks red wine for prestige and Phlegmatic drinks red wine for consistency)

White Wine: Sanguine or Melancholic (Sanguine drinks white wine to taste the sweetness of life and the Melancholic drinks white wine for the taste of perfection)

Martini: All 4 temperaments will drink from the many varities of Martinis, but which temperament will use this as their "go-to" drink?  It's the Sanguine!  That "kick" from a Dirty Martini helps the party get started!

So which temperament will be showing itself tonight?  Can we guess your temperament by your drink?
