Essential Cocktail Ingredients

Cocktail Essentials – are for me the proper Bar Tools, the Proper Glassware, the proper Books and of course the proper ingredients.
It’s an important step in building your Home Bar, just as having the right kind of ingredients, love and passion.

I have tried my best to collect all of my favorite Cocktail Ingredients. I have done this in order to hopefully inspire you for an overall better Mixology and Crafted Cocktail Experience. Right from your own Home Bar.

When reading a cocktail recipe, it often suggests a style of glassware, a certain ingredient, sometimes even a certain tool. Well now is your chance to make it right!

There are certain un-written rules within the World of Mixology, and every Cocktail recipe made, is designed for a specific Cocktail glass, to get the “correct experience” and fully take advantage of the creation in hand.

Why is this even important you might ask?

Well I have made a list of the “Essentials” and a guide on how to use it – find it right here.

And when you have collected all of your favorite things, head over to the Cocktail Recipes and get right on it.

If you need more inspiration on eg. Glassware, Ice and how to shoot for Social Media, be sure to checkout some of my Articles.

As always I will see you on my Instagram Feed.

When you find your favorites, it’s a simple matter of Clicking the image, to get your Cocktail Ingredients, for yourself.

Essential Cocktail Glassware

When reading a cocktail recipe, it often suggests a style of cocktail glassware used for that drink.

There are certain un-written rules within the World of Mixology, and every Cocktail recipe made, is designed for a specific Cocktail glass, to get the “correct experience” and fully take advantage of the creation in hand.

Why is this even important you might ask? Read this Guide, and you will hopefully see why it is indeed important.

During my time in the wonderful “Drinkstagram” Community, I have used many different Cocktail Glassware.

I want to share all of these great Glassware experiences with you. Please lean back and browse through the Glassware.

When you find your favorites, it’s a simple matter of Clicking the image, to get your glassware, for yourself.

It's hard to beat a Pure Malted base spirit, when crafting and perfecting a cocktail, and today's tipple sure was proof of that

By adding a subtle touch of herbal golden drops and rounded syrup, allows the base spirit to really stretch its legs, adding complexity and balance

The Norse God Heimdallr stands before the rainbow bridge while sipping on a Norse Negroni - at least in my wee own Wikipedia books

The "Bifrost" was a burning rainbow bridge that reaches between Asgard, Midgard and the other realms

Today the Bifrost was reaching out to other ingredients, thus creating a very crisp Arctic and Norse Negroni

Sounds simple, is simple, but can be full of sensations and flavors with the slightest hints and notes of modifiers, mixers and juices

I haven't played quite enough with Beetroots, and today's blue Sea of Joy sure proved to me, that I need to pick this up

Another obvious choice was the Blue Curacao - cuz who can really resist those blue pools of sips

Today I went with a floral variation of the always intriguing Negroni, thus giving it a wee more brighter and lighter expression - quite suitable for those Patio Sipping Moments
🔱
As far as I'm concerned, Negroni is the perfect drink - in all its varieties and expressions - tall or low, ice or no ice, shaken or stirred (oh yes @stanleytucci ), infused, barreled, aged, white or red - you got me Count Negroni

A drink's balance and complexity is key, and is often made by the different base spirits used
💼
Today I pair a Bourbon Whiskey with some equally intriguing Rye Gin seasoned in oak barrels, adding spiced almonds and finishing it with wine notes from a warming Madeira

The result is a full-flavored, balanced and rounded imbibing sensation, filling the room with Speakeasy vibes
