That Perfect Cocktail
What makes the perfect cocktail? Is it the liquor, the mixers, the garnish? There’s no one right answer to that question. It’s like asking someone what the best food is – it depends on your taste. But just like with food, there are some general guidelines that you can follow to craft the ideal drink. In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps of making the perfect cocktail, based on your preferences!
The Golden Ratio
The key to a perfect cocktail is in the proportions. The golden ratio of 2:1 means that there should be double your spirit, sweetener, or sour added for every 1 part of the water you use when mixing up drinks at home!
The addition of just two ingredients can turn any drink into an unforgettable experience. Choose your spirit, then add that to ice water in a mixing tin with 1 part sweetener - simple syrup or honey would be perfect for this! Measure out another 2 parts pure citrus juice (think limes) and pour them both over top before heading back home so you're ready when guests arrive anytime now!"
Ice or Not to Ice?
Icy cocktails are quite popular these days, but many bartenders debate their popularity. As the ice melts and dilutes your drink you lose some of its essential flavors to make sure that it's not too diluted or watery for most people's tastes.
However, there are some cocktails like the citrusy ones that need to be diluted and chilled down in order for them to taste their best. In contrast with this is a dark-liquor cocktail where less dilution or no ice at all will produce an excellent result!
The Perfect Cocktail Glass
When preparing to archive your perfect cocktail, serve it in one of two glasses. The type and shape will affect not only how you taste but also your aroma as well! There are many different types available for purchase or even homemade with this easy recipe below
The Martini Glass is a stylish yet practical glass designed to prevent drinkers from touching the drink and transferring its heat.
Moscow Mule: A classic drink for any party, the Moscow mule is made with fresh-squeezed lime juice and a copper mug to keep it cool.
Rocks Glasses are the perfect glass for cocktails that don't require much mixology knowledge. The two-ounce size makes it easy to share with friends, and there's no need in measuring out ingredients since they come swelling with liquor!
The highball glass is the perfect size for cocktails with just enough room to mix together. The wide mouth makes it easy when you're trying not only to layer drinks but also to grab those ingredients from below without spilling a thing.
The perfect way to start your night - a delicious and refreshing cocktail.
As the sun sets and the lights come on, there's nothing like kicking back with a perfect cocktail in hand. But what makes the perfect cocktail? Is it the liquor, the mixers, the garnish? There's no one right answer to that question. It's like asking someone what the best food is – it depends on your taste.

How to make the perfect cocktail
The key to a perfect cocktail is in the proportions. The golden ratio of two-to-one means that there should be double your spirit, sweetener, or sour added for every one part of the water you use when mixing up drinks at home!
For example, if you're using one part vodka, you would then add two parts of your mixer – whether that's cranberry juice, lemonade, or even just soda water. And if you're making a shaken cocktail, you would also add ice to the mix.
The addition of just two ingredients can turn any drink into an unforgettable experience. Choose your spirit, then add that to ice water in a mixing tin with one part sweetener - simple syrup or honey would be perfect for this! Measure out another two parts of pure citrus juice (think limes) and pour them both over top before heading back home so you're ready when guests arrive anytime now!
