How to make cocktails

The technology for making cocktails depends on what kind of appliances you have in your kitchen. Traditionally, everything is blended in a blender. The type of blender is not important, anyone can handle it.

If you don't have a blender, you can grind fruits and berries with a grater or sieve. It is important to remember here that metal destroys vitamins, not completely, but partially. Therefore, it is better to use a plastic grater and a sieve with a non-metallic mesh.

If you don't have anything at hand, just mash everything with a fork.

When adding bran, you need to gently stir the cocktail during pouring so that the bran does not stick together into a lump. And the bran is poured into the cocktail first, then the fruit.

If you add cereal flakes to the cocktail, then it is better not to take raw directly from the pack, but first dry them in a pan so that they crunch slightly.

Ice cream is added to the cocktail in different ways. Usually it is mixed (whipped) immediately in a blender along with fruits and berries. But you can not whip part of the ice cream, but form a ball with a special spoon and decorate the finished cocktail with it, placing it on top.

How to decorate a cocktail

You need to decorate a cocktail if you serve it for the arrival of guests, if you want to surprise a loved one or attract the attention of a child. And depending on the goal, you choose both methods and means.

You can decorate a cocktail for a child with slices of fruits and berries, as well as caramel or chocolate chips... Of course, any child will also be attracted by a piece of ice cream that floats out like an iceberg from a milkshake.

Decorate cocktails for friends in a classic style - with mint or melissa leaves, a slice of fruit.

For a loved one, you can decorate a cocktail by cutting out a stencil in the form of a heart, a dumbbell or a male profile from cardboard. The pattern on the surface of the cocktail can be expressed using cocoa powder, poppy or cinnamon.

You can cut figurines from fruits with bright pulp, for example, kiwi or physalis stars. Can be cut into pistachio petals.

Another decoration option is to use coconut flakes different colors. But the coconut itself is not for everyone's taste, so it is not necessary to sprinkle the shavings on the surface of the cocktail, just grease the edge of the glass with thick honey, and sprinkle the coconut on top.

Homemade alcoholic cocktails

Exist famous brands berry cocktails and liqueurs: Chambord with raspberries or Chamberyzette French vermouth with strawberries. But, firstly, it is not always possible to buy them, and secondly, you always want to try a new unfamiliar taste.

Vermouth with a low alcohol content is best for creating a cocktail from berries, otherwise it can drown out the taste of the berries. Accordingly, it is best to try dry vermouth for your cocktail. The most famous vermouths are, of course, Chinzano and Martini. These famous vermouths have several varieties, although you can try any of them. If you have a choice, then Rosato from Martini or Bianco Chinzano is better for a cocktail.

Simple homemade cocktail recipes

Mix vermouth and berries in a blender, observing the following proportions:

• 50 g vermouth
• 20 g berries

You can also try adding cream, then the proportions of vermouth and cream must be taken at the rate of 6 parts of vermouth, 1 part of cream, 3 parts of berries.

Do not be afraid to experiment, if there are no known vermouths, you can use any available.

It is also worth noting that to get the full feeling of a summer holiday, lying in a hammock, it is more pleasant to sip a cocktail through a straw, not from a glass, but from a cocktail glass. For example, using a classic triangular Martini cocktail glass for this.
