An opinionated, illustrated guide for cocktail beginners, covering the basics of spirits plus making and drinking cocktails, written by celebrated craft cocktail bartender Jeffrey Morgenthaler.
This easy-reading, colorful introduction for cocktail beginners, with approximately 100 succinct lessons on drinking culture, spirits, and cocktail making, is delivered in the pithy, wry style Morgenthaler is known for in his instructional videos and writing for beverage publications. Novices will learn how to order a drink, how to drink with the boss, how to drink at the airport, and more. Twelve perfect starter recipes—ranging from a Dry Gin Martini to a Batched Old-Fashioned (perfect for the flask)—plus thirty original illustrations round out this distillation for new enthusiasts.
From the Publisher
Flasked Old Fashioned
This recipe will fit in a common 6 oz flask, the sort you are likely to carry to a wedding.
4 oz bourbon or rye (bonus points for something high-proof).
1 oz water.
½ oz Rich Simple Syrup (recipe below).
4 dashes Angostura bitters.
4 orange peels.
makes 3 or 4 servings.
In a 1 qt measuring glass, combine the bourbon, water, simple syrup, and bitters. Squeeze the oils from the orange peels over the mix and discard. Using a funnel, pour the mixture directly into a 6 oz flask. Store the flask in a freezer or on ice until ready to serve.
Rich Simple Syrup.
You can measure your sugar and water by volume (two cups of sugar to one cup of water works),but for the most accuracy, I like to measure by weight. A digital scale is cheap and super useful for all sorts of kitchen projects. I strongly recommend you pick one up.
16 oz granulated sugar.
8 oz water.
makes 12 oz.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar and water and give it a good stir. Heat until the sugar is just dissolved and then remove from the heat. Set aside to cool. Transfer to plastic squeeze bottles and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
