They say cocktails were "born" because of a misunderstanding. Say, someone with poor eyesight poured the juice into the glass, where there was still rum. From mixing two liquids of different density, a beautiful color scheme resembling a rooster's tail was obtained. This image gave the name to the new, which also turned out to be tasty, drink. Cock translated from English means cock, and tail means tail. Later they began to mix not only alcoholic drinks... It turned out that kids love the combination of whipped milk, fruit syrups and ice cream. Lemon juice and mint harmonize wonderfully. You can even make smoothies with vegetables. These drinks are very healthy. But today we will talk about how to make alcoholic cocktails. At home, various devices that bartenders have are not always available. However, create delicious and original drink it is possible without a shaker. And even make it a masterpiece.

Small introduction

Although we say that vodka without beer is a waste of money, these two drinks do not get along well in a glass and in the stomach. Making alcoholic cocktails is a delicate matter. Everyone can simply pour into one glass all the alcohol that is at home. But to create something very, very tasty is to some extent a high art. After all, it is important to understand what is in harmony with what and what proportions should be observed in order to emphasize the dignity and taste of all components. The design of the cocktail is also important. There are shots (short) drinks - as a rule, they contain a large degree of alcohol. Such cocktails are served in a glass and drunk in one gulp, like vodka. Longers are designed for long-term savoring. Tall glasses are provided for such drinks. There are special cocktail glasses - with a thick bottom. They are designed to mix two types of alcohol. In order for the two liquids to combine, it is necessary to bang the glass on the table so that abundant bubbles form. And finally, drinks that need to be set on fire before serving look very impressive. Well, now let's look at how to make alcoholic cocktails at home. Recipes with photos of drinks are below.

"Hiroshima"

Let's start with the preparation of a classic and very popular shot in our area. Its formula is quite simple: equal amounts of Baileys liqueur, sambuca, absinthe are poured into the glass. The cocktail in appearance (and in its effect on consciousness) resembles an atomic explosion. Two to three drops of grenadine (pomegranate syrup) will give the drink a beautiful color. If you correctly "lay out" the layers in a glass, you get something resembling a nuclear mushroom (he gave the name to the cocktail that appeared in the 50s of the last century). First, pour 20 ml of sambuca into the bottom. Add Baileys with a spoon so that the two types of alcohol do not mix. Add absinthe in exactly the same way. You should have a flaky liquid. The "explosion" is achieved by adding grenadine, which has a higher density. Drop it into a glass from a height so that it breaks through all layers of alcohol. You can drink Hiroshima in one gulp, but the other way is much more spectacular. Light the cocktail, dip a straw on the bottom of the glass and quickly drink the contents while the absinthe burns. Haste is needed because the tube can melt from fire.

Cocktail "Mojito" alcoholic

But this is already a longer. It is good to serve it in the heat or on a warm summer evening. Put washed and mashed mint leaves into a tall glass. Juice the lime quarter. Add ice cubes. Girls love "Mojito" to be sweet. In this case, we include 20 milliliters of chilled sugar syrup in the cocktails. Then add the tonic. Who likes a stronger drink - 50 ml. Anyone who wants to stay sober can throw in a hundred milliliters of non-alcoholic tonic. Finishing touch - adding white rum. It can be poured in from twenty to forty milliliters. If you don't have any cocktail tinsel at home (twisted tubes, decorative umbrellas, and the like), decorate the glass wall with a lime slice, and place two whole mint leaves on the surface of the drink.

Sangria

This type of summer pear came to us from Spain, where refreshing alcoholic cocktails at home are very popular. Sangria is served in a large glass jug with a spoon-scoop, poured into glasses. Wash the orange and lemon and, without peeling them, cut them into semicircles. Free the peach and chop it to make medium-sized pieces. We put all the fruits on the bottom of the jug. Fill with a bottle (0.75 liters) of red wine. Usually Cahors are used for such purposes. But you can experiment with other types of dessert or semi-sweet wines. Add three hundred grams of cold to the jug boiled water... We cover the dishes with a lid and put in the refrigerator overnight. In ten hours, fruits should give their wine their fresh aroma, and alcohol should soften peaches and citrus fruits.

Christmas mulled wine

No need to wait for the offensive new year holidaysto taste these warming alcoholic cocktails. Recipes - with photos - mulled wine will help you brighten up the long autumn and winter evenings... This drink was invented by the Germans. Mulled wines warm, amuse, moderately intoxicate. Basically, it's a hot, spiced wine. There are many recipes for mulled wine. And one of them is "Sportivny". Pour into a saucepan a liter of table red wine, fifty milligrams of cognac. Add one hundred grams of sugar, five cloves, a pinch of cinnamon, on the tip of a nutmeg knife. Three lemon zest. If desired, you can pour in a couple of drops of citrus or lime juice. We put the saucepan on medium fire and bring the contents to a boil. Remove immediately and filter through a sieve. Pour into regular tea cups.

Melon, mint and lemon smoothie

You can also make healthy alcoholic cocktails at home. For example, smoothies are pureed fruits with the addition of light wine or champagne. Such a drink will help to restore strength, give a boost of energy, and enrich the body with vitamins. Peel a small melon from seeds and peel. Cut the pulp into slices. Also grind half a lemon by removing the zest and removing the seeds. Add six to eight mint leaves. We grind all this in a blender for about ten minutes. Add one and a half teaspoons of honey and pour a little (30-50 ml) of semi-sweet wine or champagne into the bowl. Beat for another two to three minutes. Pour into tall glasses.

"Champagne-Cobler"

Cocktails can contain several types of alcohol at once. Try the dizzying (in the literal sense of the word) "Champagne-Cobler" - with liqueur, cognac and champagne. This cocktail doesn't need cubes, but finely crushed ice. Let's half fill the champagne glass with it. If there is no shaker, we will use a regular jar with a lid. Mix 30 milliliters of cognac, liqueur and sugar syrup there, a little lime juice or citric acid... Beat everything well. Pour into a glass, put canned fruits (cocktail cherries are ideal for this purpose) and pour champagne to the top. Serve with a straw.

"Margarita"

All of the above delicious alcoholic cocktails are aperitifs. Another drink that stimulates the appetite is "Margarita". Born in Mexico, she became popular all over the world. Rub the edges of the glass with lime juice and dip in fine saltto make "frost". In a shaker mix tequila, three times less Cointreau orange liqueur, Caribbean lemon juice and ground ice. We filter it into a glass. Decorate with a circle or a slice of lime.

Rusty cocktail

Delicious alcoholic cocktails at home can also be prepared for a digestif. They are served at the end of the meal along with coffee and desserts. Usually they include sweet liqueurs, sometimes cream, ice cream, soda. Here is a recipe for a coffee cocktail. The main secret its preparation - the sequence of laying the components. If you break it, the drink will not foam. We put a spoon with a slide of instant coffee on the bottom of the highball (tall glass). Pour in 100 grams of Pepsi-Cola. Add 25 ml of white tequila. Throw in some ice cubes.

"Brandy Alexander"

Here's another cocktail digestif. It is very easy to prepare. Mix equal amounts of brandy, Cream de Cacao and cream. In this recipe, it is permissible to experiment. Replace, for example, brandy with cognac, and Cream de Cacao with Old Tallinn liqueur. Whipped cream can also be used. They need to be carefully laid out on top of the drink, sprinkled with grated chocolate. Or you don't need to use cream at all. Instead, dip a ball of ice cream into a tall glass, preferably an ice cream without fruit additives... Serve this drink with a cocktail spoon.

Cocktails are the mixture of several drinks with the addition of spices, salt and other ingredients. Sometimes it contains alcohol and ice. Ideally, there should be at least five ingredients in a cocktail.

A bit of theory today. Let's talk about cocktails, or rather, about their types. What cocktails are, I think everyone can guess - drinks obtained by mixing several liquids. Also, I think everyone knows that cocktails can be alcoholic and non-alcoholic. But not everything is so simple - alcoholic group classified in many categories, that's what we'll talk about further.

Of course, to understand which group this or that belongs to cocktail very difficult. In fact, there may be as many of these categories as the cocktails themselves, but there is still some background here. Let's try to figure it out in more detail. Further, there will be types of cocktails in terms of different categorization.

Aperitifs

This is a very broad group of cocktails, the role of which is to stimulate the appetite and, as a result, improve digestion. They are served before meals and, as a rule, they contain spirits. Depending on the food culture, there are two types of aperitifs:

• Classic aperitifs... Here you can highlight this kind of cocktails: Dry martini (), Manhattan (Manhattan), and Kir (Kir).
• Mediterranean European aperitifs... Vermouths and bitters are the most commonly used in these cocktails. I have already written about one such aperitif - Americano can also be attributed here.

Digestives

This group of cocktails is served after dinner (After Dinner Cocktails), as a rule, they have a very high sugar content, including with coffee. Cocktails and Alexander are prominent representatives of this group.

Anytime

The International Bar Organization calls these cocktails Any Time Drinks, that is, they can be served at any time, regardless of the food serving. This includes short drinks (Gimlet, (Rusty Nail) or), and long drinks (Gin Fizz, Screwdriver, (Long Island Iced Tea) or Tequila Sunrise ( Tequila Sunrise)), you guessed it, this is one of the most popular bands that is very popular in nightclubs and other public events.

Classification of cocktails by strength and size

To be honest, what I am writing now, I hear it for the first time \u003d) even a little ashamed. In general, cocktails are also classified by overall strength and volume of serving:

• Hot Drinks - hot drinks or warming. Volume (from 60 ml) and strength (from 12 to 35% vol.) May be different.
• Long Drinks are long drinks. From 160 to 300 ml at a strength of 7 to 17% vol.
• Short Drinks are short drinks. From 60 to 160 ml at a strength of 17 to 45% vol.
• Shot Drinks - Sent shots... They are also called "gulps" or shooters (shooters): from 40 to 60 ml at different strengths. They are drunk in one gulp, and some are set on fire for beauty.

Classification of cocktails by taste (sweet and sour)

A very fine classification, so you rarely see where. I use the first type of classification most often on my blog, but it's still useful to know the following:

• Daisy - short drink, which consists of one alcoholic drink, lemon juice, sugar and Grenadine syrup. Typically served in an old fashion glass decorated with an orange and cherry round.
• - are prepared in the famous collins glass, which is one of the varieties of highballs - I am still working on the dishes, so you will soon be able to see all its varieties. These cocktails include one alcoholic beverage, lemon juice, sugar, soda and ice. They are also classic long drinks, and as an example, just give the most famous cocktail Collins (John Collins).
• Cobblers and Coolers - almost Collins, only sugar, or lemon juice, or both is not added to the composition. Coolers are alcoholic drinks served with soda and ice (Gin and Tonic or Concrete), or with ginger ale. But Coblers are also served with crushed ice (crash), as well as fruits;
• Sour - sour cocktails. I already wrote about them when I described the cocktail.
• Slings - high content of lemon juice in combination with alcoholic drink, soda and a spoonful of sugar. A prominent representative is Singapore Sling, only instead of sugar it comes with cherry brandy.
• Suizly - these are long drinks, which include beaters.
• Fizz - the cocktails include highly carbonated water (to fizz from English - "hiss"). And poured with "fizzy" whipped in lemon juice, sugar and alcoholic beverage. Served in highball. A prominent representative is Gene Fizz.
• Fixes - not diluted cocktails, which include spirits, liqueurs, syrups or wines. He prepares them very quickly: 2/3 of collins is filled with crushed ice and all the ingredients are poured in - they are decorated with a slice of lemon.

• Layered cocktails - and went to layering one ingredient after another. I already wrote about them in, so look there \u003d).
• Sangeri - a classic dating back to centuries. Sangeri are prepared based on strong elite drinksdiluted with soda, added Port Tawny and nutmeg powder.
• Corpse Revivers - this is how the eminent bartender Charles Schumann calls this group, which is interpreted as "the return to life of a dead man." As you may have guessed, these are anti-hangover coqueilles, which are prepared on the basis of high-calorie fruits, a large amount of juice or broth. The brightest of the tonic cocktails - Bullshot (Bull beat) and Bloody Mary (Bloody Mary).
• Punches - warming drinks based on alcohol, juices, sugar and spices.
• Grogy - warming drinks based on rum, lemon juice, sugar, water or tea, spices.
• Toddy - warming alcoholic drinks based on alcohol, honey or sugar, juice or water.
• Hot coffey - warming drinks based on alcohol, sugar, coffee, sometimes cream.
• Juleps – mint leaves choke on the mudler along with sugar right in the serving bowl. All this stuff is covered with stabbing people, and alcohol is poured from above. Representative - Mint Julep. By the way, it is considered a long drink, not a julep.
• Smashy - This is a more similar form to the mojito, as less alcohol and soda are added to the julep. Smash is served in old fashion or tumbler.
• Kir - a mixture of liqueur and champagne. An example is Kir Royal.
• Eggnog - long drink, cooked with the addition of eggs. Ground is also added to egg legs nutmeg, sugar or sugar syrup, milk or cream and, of course, alcohol.

Need to say, impressive list turned out. This is probably the most informative article for me personally, in general, I am proud of it \u003d). The listed types do not describe all cocktails, but the basics from the basics are still taken into account. Well, cook, fantasize, experiment, and I'll rest. Until!
