Cocktail Cake.Ingredients:
1. Liqueur Lemon named after Lenusi (respect to Petrof);
2. Liquor Sweet couple named after Crochet (respect Crochet);
3. Spotykach liquor on prunes (respect to Natta)
4. Vodka named after me (well, there must be at least something named after me ...)
5. Lemon;
6. Sugar.
Theory. Here I, however, will repeat myself, but ... it's better than "I already wrote this, look somewhere."
So, to prepare shooters (shooter - multi-layered drink), you need several alcoholic / non-alcoholic drinks with different densities. I think that only Khimichka can measure the density of us, and will not even refuse those who wish, but ... every time we go to Ilyichevsk ... we are not a boom! We will take the concept of "density" equivalent (more precisely, then directly proportional) to the concept of sugar.
1. We take four identical containers, pour over the liquor:
2. We measure the same volume of our liqueurs on the scales. So we can begin to navigate what is harder for us and what is easier. Received almost the same. I think the difference could be one and a half times.
3. Pour sugar into each glass ... well, from a third. The fact that it does not all dissolve is not very important for us. Somewhere like this.
4. Then there are two ways of development: add sugar and stir, or ... in the microwave. I put it in the microwave for half a minute. In the topic about liqueurs, enough has already been said about heating alcohol in the microwave. On my own I will add that there is a possibility of an explosion if the microwave is faulty. Or rather, the air flow and bare heating elements are difficult. Although ... I've never heard of explosions in microwave ovens, only a few people make liqueurs in the microwave. If you don't want it in the microwave, you can just stir it.
As a result, the liquor in our glasses turned out to be heavier than that in bottles due to sugar. And so that it is not very sweet, we drop a lemon there. Taste. To make it sour.
5. So, we have three components ready. We take a container for the cocktail itself (I have a glass of fluite) and pour heavy liquor there (that is, the one where we stirred the sugar) so much to take 20-25%.
6. Next, we take a light liquor (what is in bottles) and pour the container (a glass, a glass) so that it takes no more than 45%. I have this jigger. In general, a jigger is a yardstick. I bought it when I knew how to make cocktails, as now - mastic. Now I use it as a stack. Well, I have no stacks ... Hurricanes, oldfeshes, martinkas, flutes, highballs, etc. are, but stacks - no. In short, this is not a jigger, this is a transparent ordinary pile, did you imagine? So that's great. Transfused? Fine!
7. Take a bar spoon:
Where do I go with a bar spoon? Go right now? Okay, don't shout. We take a coffee spoon:
Did you agree? Well, okay. Fluite can I leave? Thank you! And here is an ambush! Fluite walls are located at 60 degrees to the horizontal. For shooters, only martinka can be better (but martinka loses due to its volume). How much to the horizontal? 90? That was not a fig was so much scandalous because of a bar spoon. Okay, 90 will do too. I've been looking for my fluites for a year.
8. So, we lean a non-bar spoon against the wall of the glass with heavy liquor at 45 degrees against the wall at a distance of 7-12 mm from the upper level of the heavy liquor.
If we set it high, we will have a surplus of kinetic energy transferred from potential. And we do not need kinetic energy in FIG. Let it remain in the potential, so it is better. And the position of the spoon is dictated by a decrease in flow turbulence. We need laminarity. Well, the last thing, if anyone is interested ... That's it! We pour !!! If someone did not obey and left Spotykach in the glass for more than 50%, then it will pour down with you, but ... along the wall of the same glass where it was. And if less than 45% - it will not flow upwards? So it will pour where it is necessary. And here's what we got:
9. Now, back to theory. For cocktails, there is one rule - the rule of three SSS (sour, sweet, strong / sour, sweet, strong). This rule should not be observed, but strive for it. The classic BI-52 is a terrible violation, but ... the exceptions only proves the rules. So how many S do we have? Two (sweet liquor and lemon juice). What is missing? Strong. And what did we have my name? Vodka. There is no sugar in vodka at all, so it should lie like silk. This will be the last layer. Here's what we got.
So we have three heavy liquors, three light liquors and vodka in stock. By swapping them, we can do:
10. Didn't it work? Five times and nothing? So they burst? Then we rest. We take a glass. Pour vodka into it. 70%. And on top we drink any heavy liquor. Here's what you get:
Of course, the layers are not so obvious, but it's still beautiful. And we rest further. Pour a light liquor into a glass, and on top of a heavy drink. It will turn out like this:
11. Well, for Tortyzhka? !!!
Cocktail Tortyzhka can be made even if there is no Spotkach, Lemon, or Sweet Couple. Under the motto “I blinded him from what was”.
Another rule of layers .. Firstly, they should alternate in color (light / dark or red / green), and secondly, in taste (sour / sweet / sour).
Variations. I don’t understand why you shouldn’t shuffle blue food coloring into Lemonny… You get a poisonous green color.Have you seen mint liquor? I don’t think that mint gave such a bright color without dye ... In short, if we also introduce dyes, then ... the bars are resting. Then you can count these peacocks ...
Surely, there are members of the forum who will find the idea of homemade liqueurs too laborious. It's easier to go to the same Fragrant World, let alone liqueurs there ... of all colors of the rainbow. Easier. It's even easier to go to a restaurant and order. There is no need to carry bags, or to wash the dishes ... And why strong is necessarily vodka. Not necessary. Strong is rum, tequila and whiskey. It's just that it's not just a cake. This cocktail Tortyzhka during the economic crisis is twenty times cheaper and does not contain preservatives. Because there is only what we stuffed there !!! And we didn't stuff anything bad there !!! All. The end.
Additional respect to Tanya1962. I write very often that I do not have my own recipes. There is a reputation, there are loaves, but no recipes. And then I went to the Bar accessories and in Tanya's post 1962 read that I am in charge of cocktails here. I have recipes too !!! I just forgot! And when Tortyzhka wrote that everyone should come with their recipes, and remembered that post.Friends, I really want this treatise to be useful to you !!!
