FAQ
What type of glasses do I need?

What does a shotglass serve?
Shot glasses, which are small cups, are used to hold shots of liquor. You can use them to measure 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, or 1/8 ounce of liquor.
Which drinks go well together?
Mixing different spirits together is the best way to create a cocktail.
The key is to use the right proportions of each spirit to create balance and harmony between them.
This means you need to know what makes each spirit taste great on its own and when mixed with others.
You also need to understand how they interact with each other, which flavors are complementary, and which ones clash.
You should also think about who you want to appeal too.
A classic rum and coke is a great choice if you are looking for an easy drink.
For something stronger, try a gin with tonic.
What does it signify when someone says "I'm having way too much fun"?
It signifies that someone has had too many to drink.
How do I keep my drinks cool?
Place them in the freezer for 20 min. This will chill them quickly without diluting the drink.
What should I do when my cocktail drinks get too hot?
For 5 minutes, chill your drinks in the fridge before you open them. This way, they won't have time to heat up as much.
How do I know if a drink is strong?
The alcohol in strong drinks is higher than that of weaker drinks. Proportions are used to measure the alcohol content of a drink. One proof equals one part alcohol per 100% pure grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle wine would have ten proofs, while a 16-ounce bottle would be 16. Beer would be 13 proofs and 40 oz. bottle of scotch would be 45 proofs.

How To
How To Make The Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding the right ingredients. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it aged in oak barrels. Cognac is available at specialty liquor shops and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain the sugar crystals out of the cheesecloth and dispose them. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
To make the Brandy Alexander Cocktail, combine Cognac and simple sugar. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. Fill the rest with simple syrup. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
