How to bartending at home

This is a family wine sharing article, hoping to help most of the friends who love to drink.

It is suggested that you can try to copy the wine spectrum that you have not drunk and then write your own experience (this method is very good, and it is recommended that friends who have heart study refer to use).

1. Shaker

Professional good shaker is really expensive, there is no need to spend too expensive price to buy a top product, buy a cost-effective good quality is also very suitable for most people.
Let's start with the types.

The shaker is divided into three shaker POTS, as shown below:

There are also two sections of the Boston pot structure, as follows:

 

Personally, it is recommended to choose a three-stage shaker pot, because this shaker pot with professional shaker techniques can fully integrate the air and the lipid substances in the body of the wine, playing an emulsifying role, so as to get a better taste. Some bartenders also believe that the Boston pot is larger, contains more air inside the room, and shakes better.
Second, the material. In the book "Curious Bartender", the author believes that the best material is poor thermal conductivity, so that the temperature of the hand during the ice shake process will not cause the ice to melt faster and produce too much water

2. Jigger

Home bartenders are generally not up to master level, so it is recommended to start with a scale measuring machine.

3. Bar spoon
This is a stirring tool, stir technique should also be practiced for a period of time, don't buy too short, don't buy poor quality, so as not to cut hands.

4. Wine Glasses

It's called a wine glow-in-the-dark glass. Good wine must be paired with a good cup, what are the use of disposable plastic cups, then high-end wine can also drink out of the stall taste. Home mixers buy a short drink glass, a colin glass, a whiskey glass is basically enough. If you're not entertaining, you drink yourself in a whiskey glass.

①. Base wine
Generally speaking, there are six basic cocktails, namely, whiskey, rum, gin, tequila, vodka, brandy. Just embarked on the bartending this road of no return of the little white or do not buy brandy, the price is high, and easy to waste.

②. Liqueur
Just start with a bottle of Cointreau orange, play for a month and buy two bottles of Vermouth (red, dry), and then you can refill a bottle of Campari bitter liqueur, a bottle of Disano almond liqueur, and then buy a bottle of Bitters when you have extra money.

Cocktail composition

Generally speaking, the composition of a cocktail is:
Base wine + flavor (flavored syrup or liqueur) + sour + sweet (simple sugar syrup) + garnish
Sour is the one flavor that plays a balancing role in cocktails, which can balance the killing taste of alcohol to a certain extent. The acidity of cocktails is usually obtained by using citrus fruits, often lime juice. Remember, lime and lime are two things, the taste difference is quite big, can use lime or not use lime instead. Lime treatment, you need to cut off the two ends of the lime, and then cut vertically, remove the white fascia inside, and then juice, as for the vertical cut how to cut I can not describe, cut two of your own know how to cut, remember the purpose is to remove the white fascia.

Factors that influence cocktails

Cocktail is to mix a variety of liquids, after cooling by adding ice, the molecules of the wine body will be more dense than water, that is to say, the bad mixture will feel that the base wine is mixed with water, which is also what we often say, do water

Cocktail mixing techniques
From the perspective of tasting, according to Master IP's point of view, smell the fragrance. Taste > Taste? Personally, I agree.

From the production point of view, many people think that the quality of the material is in the first place. Technique. I know that, too.
