The development process of folding and editing this paragraph.

The origin of standard bartending has not been verified, but one thing is certain: it was born in America. At first, cocktail was a strong mixed drink with a little ice. Later, after continuous development and changes, its definition became: two or more drinks are mixed into a new flavor of alcoholic drinks in a certain way, called cocktails. So mixing wine means mixing cocktails.

There are many different opinions and legends about the origin of the word cocktail. Some people say that this unknown drink is called cocktail because of the variety of raw materials and the colorful colors, which are as beautiful as the feathers on the rooster's tail. Some people say that the word cocktail comes from the French word "COQUETEL". It is said that this is a distilled liquor produced in Bordeaux, France, which used to be used to make mixed drinks. Some people say that this word appeared quietly in the cockfighting competition in the United States in the last century, because at that time, every cockfighting competition had to be unprecedented, and the owner of the rooster who won the final victory would be awarded a prize, or more accurately, a trophy-the tail hair of the defeated rooster. When people propose a toast to the winner, they often say, "cheers!" "

But where did the cocktail itself first appear? If you do a survey on this question, you may get many different answers. Some people say that the word cocktail first appeared in an inn during the American Revolution. Some people say that cocktails first appeared in the sailing career of American sailors in the18th century. But anyway, these are beautiful and romantic legends.

The word "cocktail" first appeared in the mass media, that is to say, it really appeared in a magazine published in the United States on May 3, 806. At that time, cocktails were described like this: cocktails are exciting wines composed of any kind of spirits, sugar, water and bitter wine.

After nearly two centuries of evolution, today, cocktails not only penetrate into every corner of the world, but also have new connotations:

Cocktail is a romantic drink, which is made of all kinds of spirits, fruit juice, cream and so on. Containing more or less alcohol, it has nourishing and refreshing functions and can make people feel clean and happy.

Making cocktails is like playing a piece of music, and the combination of various materials is like the notes in the music, which has their special position and function. Only by following this law can harmony and harmony be produced and the most ideal effect be achieved.

Because cocktail is a mixed drink, the different raw materials and drinking methods make the preparation method of cocktail very different. Generally speaking, the four basic preparation methods of cocktails are: shaking method, stirring method, setting method and stirring cocktail. And (mixing).

How to make cocktails

Cocktails are divided into short drinks and long drinks.

Short drinks, that is, cocktails for a short time, will weaken the flavor over time. This wine is made from cocktail glasses by shaking or stirring and cooling. It is generally believed that cocktails should be drunk 10 to 20 minutes after mixing. Most alcohol is around 30 degrees.

Long drink is a cocktail suitable for killing time and drinking leisurely. Add soda, juice, etc. Long-term cocktails are almost always made of large-capacity glasses such as flat glasses or juice cups. It's a cold drink with ice, and it's also drunk with boiled water or hot milk. Nevertheless, it is generally believed that it is better to drink for about 30 minutes. Compared with short drinks, most alcohol is low in concentration, so it is easy to drink. According to different methods, it is divided into the following categories:

Juice, water and wine, Collins

Add lemon juice and sugar or syrup to the wine, and then top it up with soda water. Well-known are John Kline wine, Tongan Lotus wine and so on.

Cold drink cooler

Add lemon and lime juice and sweetener to the wine, and then add soda water or ginger ale. There are also non-alcoholic types based on wine.

An excellent bartender should have a sense of innovation and create a unique and brand-new cocktail!
