FAQ

What should you do if your cocktail gets too warm?

You don't want your drinks to get too hot out of the freezer so make sure they are in the fridge for at least 5 minutes before you serve them. You won't be able to heat them up as fast.

How long does it take to chill a glass of wine?

For a glass wine to cool completely, it takes around 30 minutes to an hour. To speed things up, place the bottle in the fridge for 15 to 20 mins before serving.

What are good mixed drinks to order at a bar?

An Old Fashioned is something I recommend. It is a classic cocktail that includes bourbon whiskey with sugar syrup, bitters and water.

The name comes from the fact that this drink was originally served without ice. Original recipe called for only whiskey, sugar, sweetener, and bitters.

People started to add ice to the mixture and they added "Old-Fashioned", to the title, because they thought the old-fashioned version tasted more delicious.

You might also consider a Manhattan. This is another great option. It's basically a variation on the Old Fashioned. Instead of using whiskey, you use Rye whiskey. Sweet vermouth is also used instead of sugar.

Bartenders love this recipe because it is simple to make and tastes great.

Are my drinks safe to freeze?

However, there are some things you should do. You should label every bottle so you know which bottles have been frozen. Don't fill the bottles to more than half full. Your drink could spill out of the container if you fill it more than halfway. Also, make sure to wait at most two hours after opening the container before you transfer the contents to another container.

Why is a martini delicious?

A martini is the ultimate cocktail. It is the simplest drink, but it also has the most complex flavour. It is equal parts gin & vermouth.

Gin is made from fermented Juniper berries. It's known for its refreshingly smooth taste. Vermouth is a fortified wine containing herbs like wormwood and gentian. This combination gives you a delicious combination sweet and sour flavours.

The tequila should be 100 percent agave, not the cheaper “mixto” products, which blend a minimum of 51 percent agave with other sugars. (cooking.nytimes.com)
majority of pineapple juice and Malibu rum is only 21% alcohol content. (breakingtheboredom.com)
