Whether you're just starting out in the world of cocktails or have been a seasoned mixologist for years, there are many different kinds of drinks to explore. Some drinks are simple while others require some practice. No matter how you start, you will have fun sipping your favorite drink.
Cocktails Modernist
The cocktail scene has seen an explosion of innovation over the past thirty years. Mixologists are creating new cocktails and reimagining old favorites. You have many choices to choose from the classic Martini or Tommy's Margarita.
Today, more modernist cocktail recipes are circulating than at any other time in history. This is not a renaissance of drinking in New York City or San Francisco. It has spread across the country.
If you have the right ingredients and a little imagination, these recipes will be a huge hit at your next gathering. Some of these recipes even have entertaining backstories that make them all the more appealing to try out at home, too!
Twist Cocktail
There are very few ingredients that can elevate your cocktails like fruit juice. Fruit juices not only have a great flavor, but also produce a lot of foam when shaken. This helps to increase the aroma of the other ingredients.
It is important to keep a variety of fresh juices in your fridge. This will keep your drinks fresh and delicious, as well as help you save money when you make large batches of beverages.
Sugar syrup is another ingredient that helps create a silky, smooth texture in drinks. Sugar syrup is an essential component of creating the right balance in a drink. It also helps to preserve the flavours and intensities of the ingredients as they shake together.
There are many methods to make sugar syrup into a cocktail. One of the best and easiest ways is to mix it together with fruit juices. This is especially useful if you don’t have access to the fruits you need or want to add sweetness to a drink.
Cocktails made with fruit juices can be a great way for you to use up extra fruit from the fridge or kitchen. Make sure you don't add too many syrups or fruit to your drink. It can ruin the taste of your drink, making it sweeter, more sweet, and less balanced.
The Dark and Stormy
This drink was first created by sailors and has become a beloved favorite of drinkers across the globe. This strong drink packs a punch thanks to a combination of dark rum, ginger beer, and other ingredients.

How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Mix all ingredients together before serving. It is usually served in a chilled glass. It is best to have a martini straight up. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
A martini with two olives on the top is the best way to serve it. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
Although you can use any type or alcohol, it is better to use 100%-grain alcohol such as Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. 1 ounce vodka is added. Shake vigorously until well combined. Place in a chilled martini glasses and garnish with an olive.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Do not shake the mixture more than necessary to mix all the ingredients.
