The Art of Cocktail Making
Building cocktails is the technique of creating a cocktail directly in the glass by adding ingredients one by one. This technique is useful when you want to create a cocktail with a layered look.
When building cocktails, it's important to add the ingredients in the correct order to achieve the desired taste and appearance. Typically, you'll want to start with the non-alcoholic ingredients first, such as juices, syrups, and bitters. Then, add the spirit or spirits last. This will help ensure that the alcohol is evenly distributed throughout the cocktail.
Layering cocktails requires a bit more finesse. You'll want to choose ingredients with different densities, so that they will naturally layer on top of each other. For example, you could layer a cocktail with grenadine, orange juice, and vodka. The grenadine is the heaviest ingredient and will sink to the bottom, while the orange juice will sit on top of the grenadine, and the vodka will float on top of the orange juice.
To layer a cocktail, start by filling the glass with ice. Then, pour the heaviest ingredient into the glass. Next, place a spoon upside down over the glass, just touching the surface of the liquid. Slowly pour the next ingredient over the back of the spoon. Repeat this process for each layer. If done correctly, you'll have a beautiful and impressive looking cocktail.
