In this beginners guide to making cocktails we will beunderstanding the term cocktail in the modern sense an alcoholic drink thatis made up of two or more ingredients. I want to be clear that the purpose of this book is notto teach you how to become a highly trained and skilled mixologist .Getting to this level takes years of dedicated practice and Im guessing thatisnt what you are looking for. Instead the purpose of the book is to give you deliciouscocktail recipes that have all been simplified so that anyone can make them.Whip up these drinks to impress your friends and shock them with your newlyacquired and seemingly difficult skill. In the research for this book I interviewed 24 skilled mixologists and bartenders. I asked them to take theirfavourite cocktails and strip them down to the simplest form possible. I alsoasked them to list their essential tools and tips for beginners so that anyonecan whip up awesome cocktails with apparent ease.
As you read through this book you are going to learn thefollowing: - How to make over 100 cocktails - How to make your own home bar - The essential equipment you need to make amazingcocktails - The terminology and secret language of bartenders - Tips and tricks for making sure your cocktails alwaysturn out amazing Work through the book and in no time at all you will beable to whip up amazing drinks wherever you go. So, get ready to impress your friends whilst enjoyingsome amazing cocktails.
The term bar doesnt just refer to the typical bars yousee in clubs, pubs andbars instead it can be viewed as any area that is usedto mix and serve drinks. If you were thinking that owning your own bar issomething for only wealthy then read through this section and see just howeasily and cheaply you can create your own full-service home bar. Having a bar in your house is very easy to set up andneed not cost a lot of money. I like to always tell people that they have threedifferent options when it comes to building a home bar. These will be discussednow and then you can pick the right one for you. The Mobile Bar The mobile bar is quick, easy and very low cost. The Mobile Bar The mobile bar is quick, easy and very low cost.
Due toits mobility it is good for entertaining but the size of it can be limiting Iprefer to keep the mobile bar for one-on-one gatherings. I will have decidedwhat drinks to serve ahead of time and set the bar accordingly. To have your own mobile bar you will need only anaesthetically appealing tray. The tray acts as both the serving and the preparationsurface. As the mobile bar will only be used for the actually mixing andserving of the drinks (not the storage of ingredients) you will need to storeyour ingredients elsewhere. The Half and Half This is what I recommend for most people as itbrilliantly blends functionality and aesthetics with ease of storage and cost. The Half and Half This is what I recommend for most people as itbrilliantly blends functionality and aesthetics with ease of storage and cost.
A half and half is the middle ground between a mobile barand a full bar. The best example, and what I suggest you use, is a trolley -ideally one which will have two or three levels. The lower level, or tray, is used to store bottles (youcan easily store 15+ bottles on one of these) and the upper is for your tools,equipment and mixing. A half and half takes up more space than a mobile bar butyou free up storage elsewhere as your equipment and liquors are stored on thetrolley. Plus if you have an eye for design you can make it a feature of theroom that is rolled out for parties. The Full Bar A full bar is awesome. The Full Bar A full bar is awesome.
However it takes up space, costs a lot to install andwill most likely become the central attraction of your house. If that doesntbother you though then a full bar is the pinnacle. A full bar is a scaled down version of everything youwould get in a regular bar/club and has a fridge, a sink and taps, glassstorage, liquor shelves and a seating area.
The latter is what you see in movies and is referred to as aBoston shaker. Mixing Glass A glass you will use when stirring drinks to mix. If youchoose to buy a shaker that doesnt come with a mixing glass then you can use ahigh-ball glass instead. Strainer A strainer is used after mixing and whilst pouring. Thepurpose of it is to pour the shaken or stirred drink from your shaker into yourglass without fruit or ice. and 1 oz. Bar Spoon Different from an ordinary spoon due to its length and thinness.Used to stir drinks. Muddler Used to crush and mix ingredients together. Ice Bucket The name says it all. Ice Bucket The name says it all.
Buying an ice bucket means youwont have to run to the freezer every time you need more ice. As manycocktails requires a great deal of ice this will save you a lot of hassle. Glasses Throughout the cocktail recipes in this book you willnotice I mention several different types of glasses. I suggest you buy at least4 of each of these to avoid running out again these can all be picked up forany budget. Check your local dollar store, often you will find gorgeous glassesfor $1. - Highball Glass.
A tall, thin glass for serving longcocktails or mixed drinks. - Rocks Glass. A short, stumpy glass with a wide base.Often referred to as a whiskey glass. - Shot Glass/Shooter. A very small glass that can usuallyonly contain 2oz. of liquid.
If you dont own jiggers then you can also usethese for rough measurements. - Martini/Cocktail Glass. The classic cocktail glass thatis synonymous with cocktails and you will have seen a million times.
