A cocktail is not only a drink consisting of several ingredients, it is also a special etiquette that prescribes how to drink, when to drink, and even what, that is, the dress code for the cocktail, and, of course, how to serve.
It is necessary
- - tumbler glass;
- - glass "old fashion";
- - highball glass;
- - cocktail skewers.
Instructions
Step 1
Serve aperitif cocktails before lunch or dinner such as Dry Martini, Manhattan, Kir, Americano, Negroni. These cocktails stimulate appetite and do not dull hunger.
Step 2
Serve after dinner cocktails-digestifs such as White Russian, Alexander. These cocktails are strong enough and, so to speak, hearty.
Step 3
Serve anytime cocktails like Margarita, Gimlet, Screwdriver, Gin Fizz, Tequila Sunrise. This group includes short (otherwise cocktails-gulps with a volume of 120-150 ml, with a strength of 17-45%), long (up to 350 ml and more, with a strength of 7-17%) and hot (with a volume of about 40 ml, a strength of 12 -35%) drinks.
Step 4
Pour cocktails with ice into tumbler glasses (glass with convex, round sides), old fashion (low, almost square proportions glass) or highball (looks like a regular tall smooth glass) before serving. Pour cocktails that are prepared in a shaker and served without ice into glasses with a stem.
Step 5
Decorate your dessert and fruit cocktail glasses with decorative frosting. It is a sugar rim on the rim of the glass.
Step 6
Take a slice of lemon, squeeze the juice out of it, but not dry, but so that it does not splash, and it was necessary to squeeze it out with effort. Moisten the rim of a glass, about 1 centimeter wide, inside and out, with lemon juice from this wedge.
Step 7
Pour some powdered sugar or granulated sugar on a saucer, dip the glass into the sugar with the rim so that it sticks to the juice covering the glass. If you want to get "frost" with an orange tint, then brush the edge of the glass with orange juice, not lemon.
Pour the cocktail into a glass to the bottom of the sugar crust, otherwise the sugar and juice will dissolve and spoil the taste of the drink.
Step 8
Garnish strong cocktails and cocktails with skewered berries and slices of lemon or orange. Cut the circle along the radius, to the middle, and place it on the edge of the glass or glass. Add food-grade or artificial-colored ice.
Step 9
Squeeze a little lemon oil out of a lemon peel, sprinkle it on a strong cocktail served in bowls: the drink will shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow.
