1 GUIDE TO COCKTAIL CREATIONS 1 P age

2 Nuggets of knowledge.. The most effective rule of cocktails is; 3 parts strong (the spirit or main alcohol ingredient) 2 parts sour 1 part sweet Most cocktails adhere to the above rule, which generally means the flavours are equal and the cocktail should be perfect each time you follow the rule. Martinis- There is a traditional theory what martinis are to only ever be stirred and not shaken, as shaking the spirit can bruise the spirit which is not only disrespectful to the spirit but can create a bitterness that effects the flavour. James Bonds Shaken not stirred, is a joke and not meant to be taken seriously. Julep Strainers- are generally only used for traditional Martinis and cocktails similar, as per the theory of bruising spirits, julep strainers gently hold back the ice while pouring out the cocktail, also due to not shaking you generally do not have small shards of ice to have to strain out. The first ever cocktail ever recorded and printed in a newspaper in the 1800 s was an old fashioned, it is believed to be one of the first cocktails ever created. There are various theories of where the work cocktail originated, but the most common is that the first ever cocktail was garnished with the tail of a cock- a feather. Some cocktails call for muddling some call for squeezing the juice, not only is for aesthetic reasons but is also due to flavour. When you muddle fruit you muddle the pith with it, which is quite bitter, and meant to be a part of the flavour of that cocktail. When you squeeze the juice you avoid any pith getting into the cocktail, and its meant to only be the flavour of the juice alone being added to the cocktail. If you master a Caprioska, then you can make an array of cocktails as that is the main format for the majority of cocktails. A Caprisoka uses vodka, whereas if you use a Cachaca instead of vodka then it s a Caipirinha, then if you use rum as your main spirit then it s a daiquiri, if you ass mint to that then it s a mojito, if you do that again with gin and mint then it s a Southside. 2 P age
