This is an essentail list to follow if you want to make tasty cocktails. These may seem like no brainers, but lots of us cut corner. Don’t! Unless you want your guests or even your Sigo to think you can’t make a tasty coctail. In this game, never skimp on quality and freshness.
When making drinks at home remember those special ones and try to dupicate it. The photo on the left is one of my all time favorites, the Mai Tai at Orchids, The Halekulani – Waikiki, Hawaii
Cheers!
Here’s a taste,
Premium Liquor
ALWAYS USE PREMIUM SPRITIS. It is impossible to stress the importance of using premium liquor when mixing drinks.
Ice
Make fresh ice or buy fresh ice. Don’t use ice that has been sitting in your freezer for the past month. Make sure that you use the correct type of ice. When you blend drinks, start with crushed ice as it blends better. For shaking or stirring a cocktail, use firm ice cubes, as they do not dilute a drink as quickly as crushed ice. For drinks that are on the rocks, you will want to use firm, small ice cubes that will dilute the drink enough to impart flavor. Tropical drinks require crushed ice.
Fresh Juice
Use fresh squeezed juice. If you don’t have time to squeeze the juice yourself, use premium quality fresh juice (such as orange juice) and use good mixers (such as Rose’s Lime Juice)
