Cocktail Time

Here are some cocktails I recently learned how to make and serve. I never realized there was so much detail in wine pairings and mixology. Not only are there certain methods used to serve certain wines, but for cocktails, there are mise en place items, mixology methods, type of glass, and garnish.
Cosmopolitan = vodka, cointreau, lime, cranberry
Shake and strain, martini glass, pair with fish and butter/cream sauce

Mise en Place: method, glass, alcohol, non-alcoholic ingredients, garnish, straw stirring stick, cocktail sword.

Mixology Methods: shake and pour, shake and strain, building, layering, brix weight, muddles, flaming, stir and pour, stir and strain.
Martini = gin, vermouth, olive
Stir and strain, martini glass


Mojito = rum, lime, soda, mint syrup
Muddled, building

Captain's Punch = spiced rum, pomegranate juice, apple cider, simple syrup
Building, pair with spicy food, cheese platter

Spur-of-the-moment muddled ginger lime drink
Kamikaze = vodka, triple sec, lime juice
Shake and pour, old-fashion glass
Bloody Caesar = vodka, tomato juice, Tabasco, Worcestershire, lemon, celery salt
Building, chimney
