Hey guys, so how about your worst April fools day? Hope you enjoyed it. So for this posting I will tell the correct ingredient and tools, you think that you can make perfectly good cocktail recipe but you must know making a cocktails is akin to making love, only fools will get the low quality cocktail. There is one often that makes a cocktail a cocktail.

Cocktails shouldn’t only taste good but also must look good. Color is the most basic element when making a quality cocktail. Do you know that bartender around the globe add colouring agents such as Curacao or Grenadine to further spice up the color of their drinks. The right use of garnishing will also contribute to the flavour to the recipe. When you making lemon twist and the recipe is design to benefit from flavour of the oil in the rind of the lemon. When making a cocktail, your aim to make the drinkers sense of the cocktail including sight, taste and smell.

Trivial affair: contrary to James Bond movies, a vodka Martini shouldn’t be shaken as it turns the cocktail cloudily.

Basic Cocktail

For me the basic making cocktail is very simple and easy. You must poured straight into a glass. Then you must shake in, in a cocktail shaker not other diet shaker okay. Then stirred drinks are served in the glass they are made in, not in glass you using drinks water everyday. When all the drinks well blended, the drinks must be thick enough for the straw to stand. When you making a layered cocktail, make sure you pouring two or more liquors into glass without mixing them together. Using muddle when to squashing ingredient that will slightly alter the taste of a drinks. You need to chill the glassware for certain drink to give a full flavour for your cocktail. Straining a shaken or stirrer a drink into the serving glass and you need to pre heating of the serving glass if needed.

Trivial affair: differently shaped glasses direct the drink into your mouth differently causing them to taste different. Always use the correct glass when serving a drink.

When you setup a bar, it’s the time to run through the tools of the trade. You may think that its only cocktail party you organize at your home. Don t takes lightly this situation, because there is no urban cocktail in your party house. Get ready because there is a certain standard to prepare cocktail in professional way and don’t get so easy in this situation. Would you mind frying an egg in a pot? Boil water in milk can? Just remember if you want to make your urban cocktail is more fun and real, be prepared and just do right. Then you can show off to your friends that you are the best cocktail maker in this world!!

Bar Rules

In a club or a pub, there are a certain set of protocols that you should followed. Cleanliness is quintessential in a bar. Check the inventory in the bar or in your house to make sure all stock is enough for the party. Try cutting enough lemons, lime, strawberry and any other fruits you using to make cocktails. Cut more to garnishes, ultimately cost money so please try to cut wisely. To make a party you should have bartender and the host. Also make sure you have enough ice to serve a drink. To make bar set up you conduct a walk around to check cleanliness your floor and preparing garnishes wisely also check supply and restock ice if necessary.

The first and the fundamental part being a bartender or you want to make a party understand the needs of your guest. With a good understanding your customer need, you’ll have an easier night ahead of you. If you see a girl who get embarrassingly drunk after a couple of drinks. Make her a little lighter drink. Must to take sure that a successful party, the guest have a good time and stay till the party ends. A pissed drunk girl isn’t a pleasant prospect in any party right? But what if she drunk and nude around the party. Err..May we should discus later? J But make sure all the quest sips your drinks and has fun for the longest time possible.

The characteristic to be a bartender and drink host:

1. Attentive and anticipates all guest’s needs.
2. Hospitable, polite and outwardly friendly
3. Good communication skill with guests
4. Armed with complete product knowledge
5. Boast high cleanliness standard at all times.

Be a bartender also he should know what he serving and drinks name. Will you accept if the bartender can’t different gin from tequila? Don’t be like jackass from the ladies who ask for a screwdriver and you give her a handy tool.

Trivial Affair: Before vodka, gin used to be the party drink of choice.
