You've probably seen, and maybe even tried striped, so-called layered cocktails, the components of which do not mix with each other. Such drinks look very impressive in transparent glasses or glasses, and therefore are the best fit for a festive table. Because of their streakiness, they are sometimes called paradox cocktails. There are alcoholic and non-alcoholic layered cocktails.

The principles of making layered cocktails

1. The main secret of making layered cocktails is the correct alternation of ingredients, depending on their density. So, the bottom layer should be the densest, and the top lightest. The density can be determined by the sugar content - the higher the sugar content.

For example:

a) light drinks include vodka, whiskey, cognac;
b) for drinks of medium density - aperitifs, sweet liqueurs, dessert drinks, milk;
c) to heavy, dense - liqueurs, syrups, grenadine, creams, liqueurs.

2. In order to obtain an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the drink, it is very important that the colors of the selected ingredients match with each other.

3. In a prepared glass, all layers are poured one by one along the blade of a knife or a bar spoon. If there is no bar spoon, and you cannot gently pour the drink over the knife, then take any spoon with a groove on the back and pour over it. Wait for the previous liquid to calm down before adding the next layer.
4. Needless to say, this glass must be transparent, otherwise the whole sense of layering is lost.
5. All components for a striped cocktail are usually taken in equal proportions.
6. If egg yolk is present in the recipe, then it is gently introduced into the stack along the wall.
7. If the top layer of the cocktail is set on fire, then it is served with a straw, otherwise - without it.
