Mmmm . . . cocktails! Don’t you just love those alcoholic drinks? You watched your favourite superstars drink them in Hollywood movies, and now you drink them yourself in bars, clubs and at dinner parties.
And more often you see people create cocktails in the comfort of their own homes. You should make sure that you and your friends look the part when you gather around the table and see the night through with your favourite cocktail drinks.
To find out how to create your own cocktails for your next party welcome to the glamorous world of cocktail making. This is your introduction to cocktail mixing.
Cocktails are mixed drinks that contain two or more ingredients. There is a wide variety of cocktail recipes available. A typical cocktail contains minimum one spirit. The base of a cocktail drink is made with a distilled spirit such as vodka, tequila, whiskey or rum. The spirit is then mixed with some soda or fruit juice. Additional flavourings such as honey, cream, sugar, herbs, juice, spices, water, fruit or a variety of other flavourings are added on.
Cocktail mixing is an art. Cocktails are made by putting together all of the ingredients and shaking them for some seconds with a cocktail shaker. Without a shaker you can crush everything with a pestle or stir everything with a long stem spoon. The shaken drink is then poured into a cocktail glass. Cocktails are served chilled on crushed ice or just plain ice.
Some of the most traditional and best tasting cocktails are Margarita, Martini, Daiquiri, Bloody Mary, Screwdriver and Tequilla Sunrise. In recent years fancy cocktails have become very popular with names like Caipirinha, Cosmopolitan, Mojito, Sex On The Beach and Long Island Ice Tea.
Remember to drink cocktails responsibly, remember to dance seductively and live passionately!
