Some notes from a one-day session on cocktails (January 2006).
Tall glass- for soft-drinks based/soda-based.
Whisky glass - for on the rocks
Martini glass only small difference with Margarita glass
Thinner glass - better
Champagne glass - Tulip, Flute
How to tell the difference between glass and crystal
Glass pings, Crystal rings.
Hot cocktails - put a spoon in the glass while serving
Shakers - Stainless steel best; neutral does not
Silver - EPNS, keep in
Boston shaker - steel, plastic, glass on top
Holtain strainer
30 ml = 1 small
Prefer ice-scoop to ice-tong
Long spoon
Bar-blade
Hand-blender
Martinis - the litmus test of a bar-tender
Insider joke
dry=not sweet
Stirred is the classic one, not shaken.
Alcohol does not freeze if kept in freezer
Level of ice should be above that of alcohol
Balalaika- first cousin of margarita - vodka + orange liqueur (originally)
