Becoming a cocktail specialist is a very distinctive occupation. Knowing how to come up with every cocktail is pretty exciting though.
There are so many cocktail ingredients to buy but the most critical ones are lemon, sugar, cucumber, lime, egg-white, soda water, juice and ice. Don’t forget your chosen type of spirits. You also require a cocktail shaker because without one you cannot mix it properly and most drinks must be rocked and not stirred. A vodka martini is a great example of a cocktail that can be stirred as it is solely alcoholic. Some add a lemon twist or olive juice. I would not recommend to ever mix a cocktail without ice. Even if it is served up without ice it should still be mixed or shaken with ice.
Some of the most exquisite cocktails are gin or vodka based because they are most often simple enough to blend with a lot of ingredients. Some of the best vodka beverages are probably cosmo and zombie. The white lady cocktail and most lemon and gin based cocktails are a favourite for this month. Mixing fruit with gin is delicious. Especially when rocked with ice and after including some basil or cucumber. The combo of gin and champagne is also flavorful. A lovely and very easy champagne cocktail is made from orange juice and champagne, although you could also use prosecco or cava.
Classic vodka cocktails are most often very sharp and a good example of that is the cosmopolitan cocktail. It is tough but the delicious lemon coupled with cranberry juice counteracts it. Often people do not find the alcohol in the drink and end up rather tipsy as they go down so well. Most bars offer a large variety of nibbles which is great because you must consume something if you plan on drinking a lot. Chips are a great option as they effortlessly absorb the alcohol in your stomach which is important after a large drinking session.
