Today, absolutely any restaurant, bar or pub can offer you a huge selection of alcoholic cocktails. Among the most popular are mojito, pina colada and margarita. Cocktails can also be prepared at home, with the special secrets of their preparation. Let's take a look at some of them.
1. For the preparation of alcoholic cocktails, the following drinks are most often used as a basis: vodka, cognac, liqueur, absinthe, gin, tequila and other alcohol. Combining these drinks in different proportions will give different flavors of cocktails, which also depends on the skill, imagination and skill of the bartender.
You can mix ingredients that seem to be incompatible at first glance, and the result is excellent.
2. Before you start preparing any drink, you need to purchase a dispenser with which you can keep all the proportions of the cocktail. The method "by eye" is not appropriate in this case.
It is important to know the following: when you are not using the dispenser, store it upside down in a container filled with water. The water in this vessel must be changed: the more often you do this, the longer the dispenser will serve you. All these measures are necessary to preserve the taste of the cocktail.
3. An important factor is that you cannot stir drinks containing gas for a long time. Soda should be added last to the cocktail. They should also not be poured into a mixer or special glass intended for stirring.
4. Cocktails should be prepared as quickly as possible. The most important thing is that the ice does not have time to melt.
5. If the drink is too sweet, it is recommended to add lemon juice. It not only removes excessive sweetness, but also gives the cocktail a special, unique taste. Lemon juice also allows the ingredients to mix more easily and better during shake making.
6. And the last tip - show your imagination, experiment and soon you will delight your guests with unusual, bright and tasty cocktails.
