Cocktails Modernist

There are many modernist cocktail recipes that are now more common than ever before. This is the type of revival in drinking that isn't just happening in New York and San Francisco but is spreading throughout the country.
You can make any one of these recipes a hit at your next event with just the right ingredients. Many of these recipes have interesting backstories, which makes them even more appealing to make at home.
Twist Cocktail
When you're looking to shake up your cocktail game, there are few ingredients that will help you elevate your creations quite like fruit juice. Not only is fruit juice full of flavor but it also produces a lot more froth when strained. This enhances the aromas of all other ingredients.
For this reason, it's vital to have a selection of fresh juice in your cabinet. It not only preserves the taste and quality of your beverages, but also saves you money when you prepare large amounts of drinks.
Sugar syrup is another ingredient that helps create a silky, smooth texture in drinks. Sugar syrup is an essential component of creating the right balance in a drink. It also helps to preserve the flavours and intensities of the ingredients as they shake together.
You can use sugar syrup in cocktails in many different ways, but the easiest and most efficient way to do this is to mix it with fruit juices. This is especially useful if you don’t have access to the fruits you need or want to add sweetness to a drink.
Fruit juices can be used in cocktails, which is an excellent way of using up any fruit that's left over. Be careful not to add too much syrup or fruit juice. Too much sugar can make your drink taste stale and cause it to be unbalanced.
The Dark and Stormy
This drink was created originally by sailors but has become a popular choice among drinkers all over the world. Made with a mix of dark rum and ginger beer, this is a strong drink that packs a punch.

How To
How to make a delicious martini
A martini is made with gin, vermouth, and ice. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. It is typically served in chilled glasses. It should be enjoyed straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
A martini can be served with two olives. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail an easier texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Mix well. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
