Overview
The person who runs the bar has a set of utensils and knick-knacks to purchase. Some of them are also important: Advanced shakers: Cocktail shakers are the hallmark of professionals. You need a martini ("shaking, not stirring") that James Bond likes to make a tart, daiquiri, gurrita, and uncentred martini. Purchase a lid-the larger outer part-stainless steel, and a glass shaker with the smaller inner part. A 12-ounce wine shaker is sufficient. You also need a cocktail filter that fits in the shaker so that when you pour the wine with ice cubes, you won’t pour the ice cubes in as well. This is called pouring a glass of "no ice" wine.
essential elements
If you want to behave like a professional bartender, you also need many quick dumpers-a small device made of plastic that fits right into the mouth of the wine bottle so that you can pour the wine at a smooth and accurate speed. Don't let them overflow. Since you want to do it, why not buy a real spoon? This is a small spoon with a long handle and a curved middle. This kind of spoon is the bartender’s Swiss army knife: you can use it to stir wine, you can use it to place glass decorations (if you don’t want to use your fingers), and you can also use the curved part to layer The ingredients of the cocktail, such as rainbow wine, are poured into it. Because for this type of wine, it is important not to mix the layers together. Other appliances that you probably already have in your kitchen include: A paring knife for cutting fruit cup decorations. An electric mixer. An ice bucket with ice tongs (looks particular and hygienic). Combination of Cups Cups are used in the preparation of alcoholic beverages and are not as important as wine services. However, the size and shape of the glassware will also enhance your taste of pure wine and mixed wine after mixing. Let's take a look at the basic cups. The high cup and low cup high cup are the cups you use most often. The tall glass is used to make Scotch whiskey with soda and water-blended bourbon, tonic gin-you already have an impression in your mind. The regular tall glasses are 8 ounces, and some can hold 12 ounces. Low cups are not as commonly used as high cups. It is sometimes called an ice cup because it is often used to make wine with ice cubes. This kind of glass is short and clear, ranging in size from 4 ounces to 9 ounces. It is often used to hold martanis with ice, various whiskeys with ice, Manhattan with ice, and so on. The Collins Cup and the Old-fashioned Cup Collins Dalin Cup is not only for Tom. Used by Collins, it is also widely used in large-capacity cocktails that give a refreshing and fresh impression, including various carbonated drinks and many tropical alcohols. The top 3/4 inch of the 10-14 ounce Collins cup is rough and translucent (sometimes with crystals). Old-fashioned cups are available in large (7 ounces) and small (4 ounces) models, and are similar to low cups, except that there is a bulge at the bottom. This may be to remind bartenders to prepare for classical cocktails. Cocktail glass and lemon whiskey glass The standard cocktail glass is a glass with a long handle, which seems to be embedded with an inverted cone. This cup is so typical that it is printed on a neon sign as a sign of a cocktail bar. A 4 ounce cup is used in all pure drink cocktails. Its handle is not just for decoration; because the cocktail in this cup has no ice cubes, this cup handle can ensure that you do not raise the temperature of the bar in the cup when you hold the cup. You can also configure some 4 or 5 ounces of lemon whiskey (and other frothy sours) to look more attractive. There are many types of wine glasses and sherry glasses. If you are interested in wine, please refer to the book "Total Fool's Guide Series: Wine" which introduces knowledge about wine glasses. However, for a basic bar, a sturdy, shank, round cup in a Parisian bistro is sufficient. You may also need to buy some Shirley cups. This 21/2~31/2 ounce cup with handle can be used for aperitif, Porto wine and Sherry. The best variety in the Shirley glass is tulip-shaped, with a narrow constriction that preserves the aroma of the wine. But if you like, you can also use a smaller shot glass or liqueur. American champagne glasses and European champagne glasses: Americans like to use a glass that looks shorter, wider, and shallower in a cocktail glass. Can hold 4-6 ounces of champagne. But Europeans like to use a completely different cup-it has a groove, the bottom is elegantly raised and then slowly tapers toward the cup. We recommend the use of European champagne glasses, not only because it can hold more (capacity ranging from 7-11 ounces), but more importantly, its shrinking shape from the bottom up can reduce the surface area and slow the escape of champagne bubbles .
