Nowadays, many young people are under great pressure. In this fast-paced era, most young people relieve stress by going to the bar and watching the bartender mix delicious cocktails. The dazzling colors and wonderful taste will instantly make people feel better. Of course, we can also make cocktails at home. So how to mix cocktails? Let me teach you today.

How to make cocktails Many bars have cocktails. People like cocktails made by bartenders and the art of making cocktails. You might as well be a bartender yourself and try what the cocktails you make taste like. Here is how to make cocktails:

1. Stirring Pour the required wine and auxiliary materials into the cocktail glass with ice cubes, and stir slowly in a certain direction with a cocktail spoon. At this time, hold the cocktail glass tightly with your other hand. When your hand feels cold, it means that it has reached the cooling degree, and you can pour it into the required cup through the wine filter.

2. Shaking There are two purposes for using the "shaking" technique to mix drinks. One is to reduce the taste of high-alcohol liquor so that it is easier to drink; the other is to quickly blend ingredients that are difficult to mix. Therefore, when using a cocktail shaker, you should first put ice cubes and ingredients into the body of the shaker, and then add the filter and lid. The filter must be placed straight, otherwise the ingredients in the body of the shaker will seep out when shaking. After everything is ready, follow the steps below: (1) Press the lid of the decanter with the thumb of your right hand: (2) Hold the body of the decanter with your ring finger and little finger; (3) Hold the body of the decanter with your middle finger and index finger; (4) Place the middle finger and ring finger of your left hand at the bottom of the body; (5) Press the filter with your thumb and hold the body of the decanter with your index finger and little finger. After that, you can shake the pitcher up and down continuously, but your palms must not be close to the pitcher, otherwise the warmth of your hands will pass through the pitcher, melting the ice cubes in the pitcher and causing the cocktail to become diluted. When shaking, the pitcher in your hand should be placed between your shoulders and chest, in a horizontal position, and then move back and forth in a regular piston-like motion for about 15 to 20 times. When a thin layer of frost is coated on the surface of the pitcher, you should immediately open the pitcher lid, then hold the filter with your index finger and pour the liquor into the pre-chilled wine glass, and the entire "shaking" cocktail mixing procedure is completed.

3. Blender It is relatively easy to use a blender to mix cocktails. Just put the required ingredients into the blender in order, cover it tightly, and turn on the power switch. However, when pouring the prepared cocktail into the cup, be careful not to pour ice cubes into it. If necessary, use an ice filter to filter out the ice cubes first.

4. Pour the wine slowly into the cup according to different densities to form layers. Note: put the wine with the highest density at the bottom, and pour the wine slowly along the wall of the cup. The rainbow wine that everyone is familiar with is made in this way.

After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of how to mix cocktails. Don't envy the bartenders in the bar with admiration. As long as you are willing to study hard, you can also mix very good-looking and delicious cocktails.
