There are two types of cocktails, namely

Cocktails are mixed drinks, usually two or three types of wine are used. Experienced mixers always pour the wine with lower alcohol degree and higher sugar degree first, and when pouring the second and third kinds of wine, tilt the glass and let the wine flow slowly along the wall of the cup, so that the concentration of various wines is different, it will be clearly layered and especially beautiful. If you add red cherries and lemon slices on the glass or wine, it will be more icing on the cake, pleasing to the eye and stimulating the guests' appetite.
Two of the most important cocktail utensils are the shaker (mixing glass) and the Oz glass. The shaker is often shaken with ice and all kinds of wine, so it is required to be sealed and strong. Foreign countries have special stainless steel shaker, we just need to find a sealed, strong container on it. Oz cup No, can be replaced by a measuring cup or cylinder, as long as there is a scale on the line. Drinking cocktails, of course, must use a more delicate colorless transparent tall glass, which is absolutely not saved, if the use of porcelain cups, pottery cups, purple cups to drink cocktails, in addition to unable to appreciate the color of the cocktail, but also inevitably make people feel funny and nonchalant.
If the family has foreign wine, it is easier to make cocktails. If foreign wine is not available, domestic wine will do. The same is true of auxiliary materials, stuffed olives, small Onions, red cherries are not available in China, but we have other fresh fruits throughout the year, as long as the seasoning is proper, it is still possible to make a variety of flavor cocktails, and you do not have to stick to the rules and regulations of the book.
