      100 Classic Cocktails - Sean Moore

      INTRODUCTION

      White Wine Glass

      Red Wine Glass

      Margarita Glass

      Martini or Cocktail Glass

      Cooler Glass

      Pilsner Glass (footed)

      Iced Tea Tumbler

      Pilsner Glass (standard)

      This book is a collection of 100 classic cocktails, some are relatively recent—the Cosmopolitan, for example, dates only to the late ‘eighties, whereas several date back to the 19th-century—The Tom Collins, for example, was first memorialized in writing in 1876, by the father of mixology Jerry Thomas in his Bon-Vivant’s Companion.

      The important thing to remember about all of the recipes in this book, is that they are basically guidelines—the most important thing is that you enjoy the taste, and you should therefore feel free to adjust the balance of ingredients to suit your personal taste, or even add ingredients if you wish: you want your barman to be a perfectionist, but you don’t need to be!

      BAR-KEEP BASICS

      The most important ingredient in most of the drinks featured here is the base alcohol, and the quality of the drink will improve exponentially with the quality of the drinks you buy—cheap spirits are cheap for good reasons, so use the best ingredients you can reasonably afford.

      Old Fashioned Glass

      Highball Glass

      Pint Glass

      The same logic applies to any fruit juices that are called for: wherever you can you should use freshly squeezed juice, it makes a huge difference using freshly squeezed oranges, for example, rather than juice from a carton.

      In many cocktails, ice is one of the most important ingredients—many cocktails are simply shaken with ice and then strained into a glass. Ice does far more than simply chill your drink: it dilutes the alcohol, making the cocktail less potent, and improving the flavor at the same time. Your ice should be fresh, and if you want the best possible results, freeze filtered water for use in your mixological masterpieces.

      Finally, don’t worry too much about the glasses—don’t be intimidated by the suggestion that you need a highball or a martini glass: feel free to improvise. If you get bitten by the cocktail bug, and want to serve authentic
