How to Make Cocktails at Home
Becoming a DIY mixologist is easier than you may think. It’s definitely possible for anyone to try their hand at creating simple craft cocktails at home. There are a few things you’ll need to make sure your drinks turn out just right every time. First, make sure you have a good cocktail shaker and a jigger for measuring out ingredients. A muddler is also a great tool for incorporating additional flavors into your beverages. Don’t forget about the glassware, either; each cocktail glass is designed to enhance the experience of enjoying a delicious drink. Make sure you follow the recipe to get the right ratios of ingredients as you experiment with this essential cocktail equipment.
For whiskey and scotch, minimal oxidation will take place due to the higher alcohol content. However, the decanter provides a practical place to keep the contents of a partially used bottle, especially since these drinks are consumed in much smaller amounts at a time compared to wine. A good scotch or whiskey decanter should have an airtight seal to preserve the flavor, as opposed to an unsealed white or red wine decanter.
