Classic Cocktails

Classic Cocktails. What makes a Cocktail Classic, and why I love them so much.

Classic Cocktails

The Classic Brandy Cocktail…

Well I will tell you, and then I will share all of my favorite Classics with you, which will hopefully inspire you to whip up some Classics as well.
Enjoy & Skål.

The first published definition of a cocktail appeared in an editorial response in The Balance and Columbian Repository of 1806. It read: “Cocktail is a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters.”
For me that’s the “Ultimate” Cocktail Template, and one I often use when building my Cocktail Concoctions.

This template created the Classic “Brandy Cocktail”, “Gin Cocktail”, “Rum Cocktail”, and “Whiskey Cocktail”.
And exactly this template was used, creating some of the best cocktails, which were created over a century ago.

Classic Cocktails

The timeless Classics…

The “True” Classic Cocktails require few ingredients, are rather simple and refined, and often very easy to craft.

I recommend starting with the Classics, Learning the Basics, exploring other Mixologists, and then start your own experiments and variations on them – perfecting them to your personal preferences.

As Charlie Parker once said;

“First you learn your instrument.  Then you practice, practice, practice.  And then, when you finally get up on that bandstand, forget all that and just wail.”

It’s impossible to know everything about a field. Instead it’s a constant learning and refinement process, getting as much inspiration as possible from others and try to work them yourself, making your own experiences and learnings.

The brilliant Mixologist studies the world, which is reflected in his drinks.

The best way to start this adventure is to create and invent, while learning from other Mixologists.
Start with the simple and classic things, and then proceed from there.

I have listed some of my personal Classic preferences, some made as they were “back then”, some with a wee twist.
Take this Journey with my, down Classic Cocktail Lane, re-make then ones you sense will suit you, and your World of Mixology will never be the same again.

ENJOY & SKÅL

Cocktail Hacks at Home

Cocktail Hacks at home

Is there anything better than delicious crafted Cocktails at home? Allow me to make it a even better “Sipping-at-Home” moment with my Cocktail Hacks at Home.

The best way to start this adventure is to create and invent, while learning from other Mixologists.

Start with the simple things, and then proceed from there.

Master the basic ingredients, and your Cocktails will have never tasted any better. Homemade is always better!

Let’s start with a most essential part of the “Perfect Formula” when making Cocktails; the “sweet”. The perfect formula being 2:1:1. That is 2 parts alcohol. 1 part sour. 1 part sweet. With this rule of thumb, when making your cocktail magic, at the kitchen table, your cocktails will have a really good chance of succes.

Without further ado here are my own favorite Cocktail Hacks at Home.

Cocktail Hacks at home

Simple Syrup

Used in many recipes and is a must have in any homebar; Homemade of course!

Add 1 part of water and 1 part of white sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until dissolved.

Strain into a jar and seal tightly. Keep in refrigerator.

Want to make it “rich”? Add twice the amount of sugar (2:1).

Heard of dried Butterfly Pea Flowers? (it’s the flowers that turn purple liquids into pink). Make your own syrup a “BPF” Syrup by adding 5-8 dried flowers to the syrup when heating.

Want it to last a little longer? Add a few drops of alcohol (eg vodka) to the syrup and stir it.

Don’t have the time to make a Simple Syrup? Easy; Simply use a tablespoon of preserves or jam instead. Enjoy!

homemade grenadine

Grenadine

Grenadine is a commonly used, non-alcoholic bar syrup, characterized by a flavor that is both tart and sweet, and by a deep red color.

Used in classics such as “Hurricane”, and “Tequila Sunrise” you can now elevate these undying classics, to a unseen new level, with your Homemade Grenadine;

Simply use the same method as you would make the Simply Syrup. Swap on Pomegranate juice for water. Equal parts pomegranate and sugar. There you have it!

dehydrated citrus

Dehydrated Garnishes

Dehydrated does it better! They will last longer, give better taste notes to your drinks and simply looks better.

Slice limes, lemons, apples and oranges etc. into thin wheels. Put them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven (80 C), in 3-4 hours. Be sure to turn them at least once for best results. Keep an eye on them, so they don’t go black.

What do you prefer? Dehydrated or fresh?

stirred cocktails

Shaken vs. Stirred

Oh yes the Wonderful “Unwritten Rules for Mixology” and the “Mixology Police” roaming the Social Medias, ready to strike down on those who doesn’t follow “their rules”.

I have always been a strong believer, in doing what YOU PREFER, instead of what the MASSES PREFER!
In the World of Mixology there should be no Rules or Boundaries – keep the Inspiration and Creativity ALIVE!

But, with that being said, there are of course some good “Rules of Thumb” that I prefer to follow.

If in doubt whether you should Shake or Stir your Concoction, these are the basics I follow;

SHAKE when your Cocktail include juices, syrups, liqueurs or eggs.

STIR when your Cocktail include spirits only or gentle mixers.

cocktail bitters

Common Measurements

In the World of Mixology you will often find different “terms” that is not always self explanatory.

Allow me to assist;

When reading the term “a dash of”, this is to be considered as “one shake of a bitters bottle”.

Reading the term “a Teaspoon (tsp.) of”, this is to be considered as 5ml.

A “splash of”, is to be considered as 6ml.

A “bar spoon of”, this one is more tricky. The most common bar spoon is 5ml.

Please comment with your own Hacks and Tips, as I’m sure you have made some similar experiences.

Find all of the above products in my SHOP.

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.

Direct from a small craft distillery to the consumer - cutting out any middle men and fancy packaging - this is the theme and heart behind today's Gin entry - and a great one at it

With this straight-forward and direct approach, I started building today's no-nonsense Old Fashioned, splitting the base with subtly smokey Mezcal, adding intriguing Agave sweetness, and bringing it all in balance with the always important Bitters

Ok admitted - calling today's serve a Martini is stretching it - but never the less the inspiration behind this concoction - and the fact I just love Maraschino notes and aromas

I don't know about you, but I have a really hard time not being drawn to a Pink Cocktail - it has a certain charisma and mystic to it, that is really appealing - but too "much pink" can also ruin this attraction

Saké - just like Akvavit, a Spirit I use way too seldom.
Just like Akvavit it has some really unique flavors, notes and aromas, and a incredible versatility
🍶
Surrounded by lots of Mystique and History, Saké has become more and more dear to me - both enjoyed neat and in Cocktails
🍶
Today I'm taking it a wee step further, with a Sparkling Saké - How about that!!!
🍶
If that wasn't enough, today's particular Sparkling Saké is loaded with spicy and hot Wasabi and fresh and crisp Apples - does it get more intriguing than that?
🍶
Feeling inspired by especially the Apples, paired with the Saké rice wine notes, I immediately reached for a premium bottle of Calva, aiming for a crisp, fresh and most Sparkling Saké & Apple sensation, finished with a wee bit of heat from the Wasabi

This was my most Sparkly & Crisp;
