How to make Cocktail's External flavor

Cocktail is a kind of artistic wine with excellent color, aroma, taste and style. These four dots make up what a cocktail should look like. The last step in the completion of cocktail production is generally for the cocktail decoration, which is also a very important part of the overall work of the cocktail, it will directly affect the quality of a cocktail.
Garnishes are the way to add to a cocktail, but they are equally elegant. The industry requires that the items used for cocktail decoration be edible ingredients as much as possible, which is also to make cocktails more compliant with food safety requirements. Today I'm going to focus on how to bring flavour to a cocktail in the garnish.

The outer fragrance of the cocktail, which is also a kind of cocktail decoration. The idea is to create a longer-lasting flavor for a cocktail, allowing the drinker to experience the aroma longer while drinking. About the flavor, this is my personal name, is that this flavor is not directly from the cocktail itself, and then through the bartender to use some ingredients to add to the cocktail. This is not more than adding, is the icing on the cake, these external flavors are also complementary to the cocktail, making the cocktail more personal, can leave a deep impression on the drinker. Then how to do the external flavor, here are some methods that are not new to professional bartenders. Because not all the people watching are professional bartenders.

The twist of citrus fruit peel is one of the most commonly used methods in cocktail preparation to add flavor to the cocktail. Generally use lime peel, orange peel, lime peel to make. If you are making a long lemon or orange peel, the most common way is to use a paring knife to cut the lemon or orange from the long stem to the end, and the second way is to cut it around the horizontal side. The skin cut off with a paring knife is relatively thin, so when twisting the skin or pinching the skin can not be too hard, otherwise it is easy to screw the skin off, if in front of the guests, it is a little embarrassing. The third method is to cut a lemon or orange horizontally about a centimeter thick circle, and then the circle of the peel off, if your lemon or orange is large, you will get a longer peel, and the thickness of the peel is your own control.

If you want to keep the fragrance of the peel more lasting, after twisting the peel flavoring substance on the cocktail and glass, you can apply it on the mouth of the cocktail glass and the outside wall, and spread the oil spilled from the peel on the cup, so that its aromatic flavor is more lasting. So sometimes you will see the bartender twist the skin on the mouth of the glass, the body of the glass, is for this purpose.

Regarding the fragrance of the peel, it is also necessary to understand when using it, because the flavor of different varieties, producing areas and seasons will be different. In the case of lemons, because you use a lot, usually you will encounter such problems. If the pressed lemon juice will have bitter taste, the skin is dull and not fresh enough, then such lemon juice and skin are not suitable for cocktail making.
Flavor syrup and wine preparation to get flavor, take flavor syrup as an example, a flavor syrup and direct drinking water in a one-to-one or one-to-two way into the spray bottle after shaking, spray on the cocktail and glass, this can also make this flavor more lasting stay in the cocktail drinking process. Bitters and some blended wines are also used in the same way. This is very much like people spraying perfume for themselves, and it works in the same way, so I think you can better understand its purpose and function.

The method of smoking wood and herbs, also known as fumigation, uses special flavored wood chips and a smoker to smoke a liquor or a whole cocktail. Or it is lit with a larger solid flavored wood or herb, then covered with a glass, and the resulting smoke is extinguished to smoke the glass. Get their flavor, so that the drinker can feel the strong or faintly woody or herbal aroma when drinking the cocktail, giving the drinker a more interesting drinking experience.

Fresh spices, such as many cocktails will be used in the decoration of fresh rosemary, thyme, mint, etc. Dried fruit slices, fruit in the process of low temperature drying, its flavor will converge in which, than it in the fresh pieces of the more intense.

So the purpose of cocktail decoration is to enhance its aroma and taste. Generally speaking, most cocktails need to be garnished. So try not to be lazy when mixing drinks, and make your cocktail with the garnish it should have, to complete a more perfect work.
