COCKTAIL
RECIPES
Originating in the early part of the nineteenth century,
Cocktails began as a simple mix of spirits, sugar, water
and bitters, but over the decades they have become far
more inventive and extravagant. There are many methods
of making cocktails; shaken and strained, stirred, layered,
crushed, blended, fl amed and even thrown. Here are a
few of our current favourites for you to try at home.
T I P S
Double Strain
After shaking your cocktail, ensure there are no ice fragments in it by
straining it twice. A professionally made cocktail is simultaneously poured
through a ‘bar strainer’ placed directly on the shaker and a ‘fine strainer’
into the glass. Two tea strainers work well if you don’t have a bar strainer.
Great for a crystal clear Martini.
Muddle
To ‘muddle’ means to firmly press fruits, herbs or spices in the bottom of
a glass to release their flavour. A good alternative to a bar muddler is
to use the flat end of a rolling pin.
Glass Chilling
Before preparing a cocktail, simply fill the glass with ice to chill it. Discard
the ice just prior to pouring the cocktail. Commonly used when preparing
a Martini.
Sugar Syrup
Dissolve sugar in boiling water using equal parts sugar and water
(e.g. 1 cup of sugar dissolved in 1 cup of boiling water). Use spring or
filtered water to ensure the best taste. Caster sugar dissolves easiest.
Pre-mixed sugar syrup can be purchased from any Dan Murphy’s store.
Make a Shaker
If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, a large, thick-walled jam jar is
a great substitute.
Keep it Cold
Shaking a cocktail on ice for a full 20 seconds or until the cocktail shaker
gets ‘iced up’ will ensure your cocktail will be super cold and provide
optimal presentation.
