Bloody Mary

- Salt and pepper
- Ice
- Garnish (lime wedge and a celery stuck)
- Worcestershire sauce*(optional 3 dashes, I don’t use it)
Tools
- Bar spoon
- Collins glass
The how to
You can build this in your glass, or roll it between two(for this example I will build it in my glass). For this I like to add my ice first then add the Tabasco, salt, pepper and the lime juice(if you wanna use the Worcestershire sauce this is the time to add the nasty). Stir and make sure the ingredients are mixing. Top the glass with tomato juice and stir some more. Garnish with what will probably be the first vegetable of the day for the person who is ordering this. Throw a lime wedge in there if you feel like.

Lets get to mixin’
Martini
Ingredients
- 50 ml gin(original)/ vodka
- 10 ml dry vermouth
- Lemon peel
- Ice
- Garnish (1-3 olives)
Tools
- Mixing glass
- Bar spoon
- Cocktail strainer
- Fancy toothpick
- Martini glass
The how to
The elegance in these drinks stays in its simplicity.
In your mixing glass that is full with ice add your gin and dry vermouth. Stir well, minimum 30 seconds. Keep in mind the dilution. Strain the mix in your chill with no ice martini glass. Squeeze the lemon oils on top of the glass and garnish with the olives.
Stir not shaken- You will hear this a lot. Yes, the original way to do it is to stir it but the shaken one has it’s kick as well. It will be milky in color because of the air bubbles and some people prefer it that way. So don’t roll your eyes at them for asking you to shake their drink.
Dirty martini: has everything mentioned above but we add 25 ml of olive brine.
Wet and dry martini: Dry martini: ratio of gin to Vermont is 3:1 as in more gin and less vermouth. The wet martini is the opposite, has more dry vermouth. Easy.
Negroni

- 25 ml Sweet vermouth
- Ice
- Garnish ( 1 orange peel)
Tools
- Mixing glass
- Bar spoon

Sazerac
Ingredients
- 80 ml cognac/ rye whiskey
- Absinthe, to rinse(like 5 ml)
- 1 brown sugar cube(½ teaspoon)
- 1 teaspoon cold water
- 3 dashes angostura bitters
- Ice
- 1 lemon peel
Tools
- Mixing glass
- Bar spoon
- Muddler
- Cocktail strainer
- Rocks glass
The how to
First you need to prepare your rocks glass that needs to be chilled and by that I mean you use the absinthe to coat the walls of the glass that was sitting in the fridge or with ice before starting to make the drink.
After you go to your mixing glass in which you add the brown sugar, the angostura bitters and the teaspoon of water and start muddling. Add the cognac and ice and stir until well chilled. Strain in your prepared glass with no ice and squeeze the oils from an orange peel. You can serve it with no garnish or use the lemon peel as a garnish.
Pro tip: use 30 ml of absinthe to coat the glass and the excess serve it as an absinthe shot.
