MOREHow to Garnish Cocktails Creatively: Elevate Your Drinks with Style
Step 1: Assess the Cocktail
Consider
the flavor profile, ingredients, and presentation of the cocktail. A
garnish should complement and enhance the overall experience.
Step 2: Choose Fresh Ingredients
Opt for fresh, high-quality garnish ingredients. Citrus twists, herbs, berries, and edible flowers are popular choices.
Step 3: Use the Right Tools
Invest
in a sharp paring knife, zester, or channel knife for precise and
creative cuts. Garnish tools add finesse to your presentation.
Step 4: Experiment with Citrus Twists
Master
the art of citrus twists. Use a zester or knife to create spirals,
twists, or even intricate shapes. Express the oils over the drink for
added aroma.
Step 5: Utilize Herb Sprigs
Herbs like mint,
basil, and rosemary add freshness and fragrance. Use herb sprigs as a
simple and elegant garnish, or span them across the glass for a dynamic
look.
Step 6: Explore Edible Flowers
Edible flowers, like
violets or nasturtiums, bring vibrancy and a touch of whimsy. Ensure the
flowers are pesticide-free and safe for consumption.
Step 7: Play with Fruit Skewers
Thread
small fruit pieces onto skewers for a playful and functional garnish.
Consider complementary flavors, and adjust the size based on glassware.
Step 8: Rim Glasses Creatively
Experiment
with rimming glasses using sugar, salt, or spice blends. Wet the rim
with citrus juice, then dip it into the chosen rimming ingredient for a
decorative touch.

Vodka
Vodka is an European clear distilled alcoholic drink that has been one of the most popular drinks across the world .
You'll find it to be the most popular spirit in drink making because of it's neutral taste and absence of flavour and colour.
Vodka often replaces Gin in many traditional cocktails
Vodka is known to be good for the heart, and if consumed in moderation, can prove to be good for cardiovascular health
Note that these days there are flavoured Vodka available in the market too, and some cocktails do make use of them.Blackberry Liqueur
A liqueur is an alcoholic beverage made mostly from rectified neutral spirits flavoured with sugar, fruits, herbs and spices. Liqueurs are often served as aperitif or digestif or used as bitters, and some are ceremonial or have regional cultural significance.
Most liqueur recipes that date back to the medieval or early modern era tend to have secret recipes and legends following them trough centuries. Liqueurs mostly began in the laboratories of pharmacists as medicines or at homes as ways of preserving seasonal fruits, or were created by monks in their monasteries. and then took off as fragrant, flavourful liqueurs, either filtered to be clear or cloudy.
Liqueurs are created by infusing or macerating fruits and herbs in neutral grain spirit, brandy base like cognac, rum, vodka or even whisky and then filtering the infused alcohol to produce the unique sweet beverage.Dry Vermouth
Vermouth the French for German Wermut, Wormwood in English, is an aromatic fortified Wine, flavoured with various botanicals like roots, barks, flowers, herbs, seeds and spices.
Although traditionally Vermouth was used for medicinal purposes, it has been also served as an apéritif in its modern avatar. The modern Vermouth first appeared in and around the 18th Century in Turin. By the late 19th Century it became very popular with bartenders as a key ingredient in cocktail mixology.
Martini, Manhattan, Rob Roy and Negroni were a few cocktails that Vermouth grew in popularity with. But later during the 20th Century, Vermouth slowly lost its glory and Dry Martinis and extra Dry Martinis with little or no Vermouth gained over the original Martini. Modern Martinis usually have a splash of Vermouth to add that herbacious texture to it.
Historically, there have been two Vermouth types, Dry and Sweet, but with demand variations have come up now. that include extra-dry white, sweet white, red, amber and rose.
Vermouth is produced by adding proprietory mixture of aromatic botanicals to a base wine or a base wine plus spirit or spirit only, which is usually redistilled before adding it to a base of neutral grape wine or unfermented wine must ( freshly pressed grapes and the juice ). After the wine is aromatised and fortified. it is sweetened and the end product is a Vermouth.
Dry Vermouth is what makes the character of the original Martini, and a Dry Vermouth has less sugar and is more herbacious but less spicier than Sweet Vermouth.Lemon Juice
Lemon Juice being rich in Vitamin C is an excellent remedy for sore throat and aids in digestion and controls blood sugar, and also promoted weight loss. It is used for various culinary and non-culinary purposes all over the world. Lemon juice is known to reduce or even reverse the effects of excessive alcohol consumption and intoxication.
In drink mixing, fresh lemon juice brings a tangy zing to so many classic drinks and in fact, it's the most used ingredient in drink mixing other than the liquors of course.

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
