10 Tips On Making Cocktails

Cocktails are not just pleasant to drink but also look attractive and equally exciting to drink. They are perfect for celebrations and pleasure parties as they are enjoyed a lot by their drinkers. A lot of people have such a busy life that they can’t go to a bar every night just to have their favorite cocktail. But there is no need to worry, as wonderful cocktails, like the one you have in parties or bar, can be made at home too. The following are the tips, which you should keep in mind in order to make great cocktails at home:




TIP 1: Get your glasses ready:
In order to make your cocktails look like the ones in a bar, you have to make sure that you have the right glasses for cocktails. Moreover, cocktail is best served cold. So make sure you don’t buy yourself glasses, which are too tall as using them would take you time to finish your cocktail.

TIP 2: Collect cocktail tools and supplies
It is essential that you have a bisc barware or essential toold to make a perfect drink.  Going for short glasses is a nice way to measure ounces. Plus, do purchase a blender and a cocktail shaker for that perfect drink.

TIP 3: Collect some cocktail recipes
Purchase some good cocktail books, with great recipes for making different types of cocktail. Or you can create your own new recipe, if you want. But don’t go for too much experimentation, as it can go very wrong.

TIP 4: Ingredients should be of great quality
The ingredients that you put in your cocktail should be of great quality to ensure wonderful taste of your cocktail. Always put in fruits and vegetables, which are in season to get better flavor.

TIP 5: The chilling process
If you want to keep your drink smooth and cooler for a long time then you should keep your cocktail glasses cool before pouring cocktail in it. You can do that by freezing the glasses in a refrigerator and taking them out just before pouring cocktail in it.

TIP 6: Measuring your spirits
Always hold spirit bottles by the neck when pouring. There is nothing really special to this; it is just that by doing so, you are making it easier on yourself to put in exactly the accurate measure.

TIP 7: Adding the ice
After pouring each and every ingredient in your cocktail shaker, you must add fresh ice in to it to make it crisp and cool. Make sure that you only add fresh ice as it is very important to keep the right flavor.

TIP 8: Shake it and Shake it again
This is the most stylish part of making a great cocktail. You can try different styles of shaking the cocktail, like the bartenders do. You have to shake it well unless the cold spreads all over the shaker.


TIP 9: Dressing it up.
The most important thing that makes a cocktail attractive is its garnishing. I always use lime and strawberries to garnish different types of cocktail. Where strawberries can be cut in between, ripe lemons can be cut into wedges, slices, and half-moons for that attractive garnish.

TIP 10: Taste it before you serve it.
If you are making a cocktail for a very special person, then you have to taste it before serving him/her, to know if 

you have made a great drink or not.

  1. I love making cocktails. Its amazing at how many different possibilities there are out there in the cocktail making world. I am usually the one that is mixing the drinks at the parties, so I try and learn how to do it properly often. I will usually find an online liquor store where I can choose every single different ingredient I need to make a specific drink.
