Whiskey can only be drunk? In fact, whisky has an unshakable importance as a bartending base! Today, let's introduce a few whisky concoctions that you must know, so that you can see the variety of ways to use whisky
Whisky Sour sour wine
The Sour series of bartending is basically: base wine + lemon juice + syrup.
There are many branches of this large family, but Whisky Sour is definitely the great predecessor of the Sour family. The sweet and sour combination plus the flavor of the base whisky, the acceptance is quite high, it can be said that the whisky bartend does not change the season! It is also a beginner model for many bartending novices, and it is basically difficult to make it bad and not drinkable
IBA standard wine recipe (can be arbitrarily adjusted to your favorite taste):
· Bourbon 45ml
· Fresh lemon juice 30ml
· Syrup 15 ml
· Protein (optional)
Directions: Shake well using the shaking method, pour into the classical cocktail glass and garnish with lemon slices. (Some will throw a roll of citrus peel into it like the picture, it's okay)
Old Fashioned classic cocktail
Although the name may seem a bit old-fashioned, this bartending has never gone out of style! The classic, simple but changeable approach of the classics has long been the No. 1 in the classic bartending world, and even the only bartending that many pure drinking fans of whisky can accept.
Old Fashioned Wine Recipe:
Bourbon/Rye Whisky
Sugar
Bitter essence wine
Directions: Grated the sugar cubes, or dissolve the sugar cubes with bitter wine and water, then add the whiskey, stir in large ice cubes, and finally spread some orange peel oil on the mouth of the glass.
The proportions of each bar and the selection of whisky bases vary widely. If you can only choose one of the whisky bartends, it must be the Old Fashioned Screen!
Manhattan Manhattan
Known as the "Queen of Bartenders", the fusion of whiskey and sweet absinthe makes the taste and aroma quite rich. The material is so simple, but it is not easy to do well, and Manhattan is also considered to be a bartender who can show the skill and creativity of bartenders.
Manhattan Wine Recipe:
· 2/3 single wheat whisky (bourbon, blend, Canadian whiskey, etc.)
· Vermouth Rosso 1/3
· Angustura was a little bitter
· One cherry
Preparation: Stir the ingredients thoroughly and then pour into a cocktail glass decorated with cherries.
Highball (whiskey soda)
"Low calorie, low alcohol, refreshing, no burden, good meal", is a must-try bartending in summer to relieve heat~! The nickname "whiskey soda" is especially popular in Japan in recent years, especially the use of horn bottle whisky to make "horn hi" is almost synonymous with highball. Various canned versions have also been available recently, and thirst can immediately buy a can at a convenience store.
It is super easy to make, and the failure rate is 0% I have not heard of anyone tuning highball to fail XD, you can easily tune it at home
Highball Recipe:
· Whiskey 30 to 45ml
· Soda to taste
· Lemon horn (optional)
How to Do It: Using the direct injection method, add the whisky to a golf bowl filled with ice cubes, fill up the soda and stir gently. Gently squeeze the lemon horns and throw them into a cup to add flavor
Penicillin penicillin
This classic bartend is less well-known than the first four, and the name of the drug "penicillin" makes him sound less palatable... But if you're a peat whisky lover, this is your medicine!
Penicillin is an evolution of Whisky Sour, based on sweet and sour, based on a "peat flavor" Scotch whisky with a mysterious "ginger" flavor (yes, that ginger), which is a very picky mix.
Peat, the pungency of ginger, the woody aroma, floral notes and a combination of honey and lemon flavors are layered and complex. But this is a very difficult bartend, a careless choice of wine, poor technology is easy to tragedy, people who have not drunk it is recommended to find a trusted bar first, ask your bartender to help you make a cup first, try the taste and then start the challenge!
Penicillin Recipe:
60ml Scotland light peat whisky
20ml fresh lemon juice
4 ml honey water (honey and water 3:1)
12 ml ginger syrup (4 parts ginger juice plus 3 parts granulated sugar)
How to do it: Use the shaking method, filter the ice cubes, pour them into a cup, and finally add 8ml of soot or peat whiskey
