These are good basic lists. I don't get too many orders for anything aside from these.

Aside from knowing how to make a variety of cocktails, people should also know what to suggest to indecisive fucks who are prone to tell you they don't like what they got and try not to pay for it.

>>8123090
Don't hate them with cream but yeah I think that Kahlua and low-fat milk gives the drink a better consistency.

The absolute basics. These drinks are a litmus test for a bartender; if they don't know what these are, get outta there and spend your money elsewhere. Cocktails are already expensive enough, so don't get a bad one.

>>8126499
Ok, bud. Slow down. There are a zillion ways to make a Martini, I was just saying they should be familiar with the idea and have their own variation.

Have you ever been to a place and ordered a Martini only to get something back with tequila and sweet vermouth with an olive floating in it? I have. I've also been to bars where they give me weird looks when I ask for a Margarita on the rocks and didn't know that a Daiquiri has rum in it.

>>8126499
Martinis are the best cocktails there is. They taste great, have the right amount of alcohol content, is not womanly, and isn't hard to make.

Honestly, a White Russian has a higher likelihood of being ordered than a Sidecar, or even a traditional daiquiri. Of course it depends on where you work and live, but in my experience most people don't know anything about brandy/cognac and even less about cocktails made with them.

>>8122572

Learn to do a Sour, an Old-Fasioned, and a Fizz. After that it's just learning what to swap when.

I've always made Moscow mules with lime, not lemon. But this still sounds good. Recently I've been substituting jameson for the vodka. I've heard it called a "jameson and ginger" or a "Irish mule". Either way it is delicious. Espically with a very strong ginger beer and lots of lime.

btw what are the best bourbons/ryes for Manhattans? Bonus points for good vermouth & bitters recs, too, and any variations you guys like.

what would you call a cocktail?

>>8128225
Bitters are easy, just get angostura. Vermouth I'm also interested to hear opinions on. Redpill me /ck/ I know next to nothing about vermouth.

The Aunt Roberta
1 shots Brandy
3 shots Vodka
2 shots Absinthe
1.5 shots Gin
1 shots Blackberry Liqueur

Pour all ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake well then strain into chilled cocktail glass.

Drink a second one and die.

>>8128317
i usually use Cinzano, works well enough for me, but in a previous thread on /ck/ Noilly Prat seemed to be a favorite (though I had heard negative things about them). nearly everyone dismissed Martini & Rossi though, and i tend to agree. while their dry vermouth wasn't too bad, their sweet was pretty terrible imo.

but personally, i'm more or less clueless as to what makes a vermouth good other than thinking it tastes good or not

>>8126503
>weird looks when I ask for a Margarita
Unless the place is advertising or known for margaritas, I don't ask for them. Same with most other cocktails. Don't order them out and you won't be disappointed when you get half a shot worth of liquor in a drink you paid $10 for.

>>8126503

for some dumb reason i used to think vodka sodas were vodka and sprite/7up until I ordered one and got a particularly ill-balanced vodka and soda water.

>>8128705
Ironic, since pre-1940s was Prohibition and cocktails of the era were invented to cover up the intolerable bathtub liquors they had access to.

Vodka and blue Gatorade. Really helps with my hangovers from the night before and gets me started early. Really puts some pep in my step

>>8122572
I remember trying a white russian while high after watching the big lebowski... that was a mistake. it made the taste incredibly intense, I couldn't stand it.

>>8128953
how poorly did you make it? white russians are pretty easy to drink imo

>>8126773
If it's prepared correctly it should be very smooth, just barely sweet with a noticeable taste of lime juice, most importantly you shouldn't be able to discern the taste of alcohol in it unless you were trying to

into a cocktail shaker:
Crushed ice
2 shots tequila
1 shot lime juice
half shot of cointreau (orange liqueur)
teaspoon of agave syrup

shake well and serve

A retardo:

5 ml sodium GHB
1.5 oz lime juice

how does one "release orange peel oils"?

>>8131540
That's a weird step I've never heard of that, I personally just use a citrus bar tool and make a twist. Anyway I looked it up and I think I'll try it out next time around.

Cut a round "coin" of orange peel, at least an inch in diameter. This time, don't worry too much about getting some of the pith. A thicker piece of peel is easier to squeeze over a lit match.
Light a match; hold the lit match several inches above the cocktail.
Hold the orange peel colored side down, about two inches above the lit match. (If you wind up with match soot on the peel, you held the peel too close to the flame.) I prefer to wave the peel slowly over the match for a couple of seconds, to help warm the oil so it lights more easily, but this isn't always necessary.
Twist and squeeze the peel over the lit match. I like to snap my forefinger and thumb together pretty sharply and strongly to press out a lot of oil quickly.
Rub the peel around the rim of the glass. Drop the twist into the drink or discard.

Bulleit, Buffalo Trace, I'm drinking this reasonably priced Cooper's Craft and it's just the right amount of astringent to be good by itself or in a cocktail with just a few ingredients.

I concur. While there's likely better, Cinzano is a dependable workhorse that's also enjoyable by itself. Martini & Rossi is way too sweet.

A greyhound is a cocktail consisting of grapefruit juice and either gin or vodka mixed and served over ice. If the rim of the glass has been salted, the drink is instead called a salty dog.

Do not mix vodka with beer. Instead submerge 50ml shot of vodka in mug of beer.
It will mix when you drink, so you still feel mostly beer with some aftertaste of vodka.

2 oz. Gin

1/2 oz. Fresh lemon juice
Pour into shaker with ice, shake and strain into martini glass. Garnish with lemon peel.

Honey syrup is equal amounts honey and water heated till dissolved then cooled. Use raw floral honey if you can get it. You can substitute honey syrup for simple syrup in alot of recipes to add a floral note.

I just find the "simple drink" argument childish. Cocktail mixing is a historic art form. Which was reinforced by prohibition to cover up shitty booze. Your argument is please don't put my burger on a bun and don't you dare put vegetables or condiments on because I'm a simple fucking man. Please just give me some crumbled unseasoned cooked beef in a bowl, tacos are for sissies. It's asinine. Cocktails are awesome. They are socially acceptable to have for brunch or a business lunch. They taste great and like I said nobody over 25 will call you a fag if you know how to mix one, unless you are doing it in a biker outfit with ass less chaps.

>>8140802
Very historic in fact. Before there was a name for cocktails gin, brandy, wine and whiskey were drank with sugar and bitters or the generic term for a drink before a meal was "wine and bitters". When the British surrendered and America claimed it's independence, George Washington offered drinks with bitters after signing the surrender declaration and with an hour before dinner. This is believed to be the original cocktail hour. The brits took this practice back to England and the cocktail hour became a general practice on both sides of the pond. Cocktails are very American and the practice of serving them to company before dinner was started by our founding fathers. I'd say drinking them is historical and patriotic.

How is Cachaça different from rum? Never had it. Genuinely asking.

>>8142442
Cachaça is a distilled from rough sugar cane
Poorfag rum is a distilled from molasses, a sugar byproduct
rum agricole distilled from pure sugar cane (vesou), different distillation process, more aged and also the much motr accurate selection of the ingredients allow to certify the product.
