** Welcome to the bar. **
This time I drink options and recommendations for Christmas drinks, one * classic * and another * "exotic" *.
Points to keep in mind:
There are 3 mainstays to a drink / cocktail.
** Taste **: It has to be balanced, not very alcoholic, nor very subtle.
** Freshness **: we are not only referring to the temperature of the same, but also to the quality of the ingredients.
** Visual **: We know that everything enters the eyes first, so a good decoration (garnish) adds a lot to the visual impact, as well as a suitable glass (container)
When it comes to cocktails, you don't need a sophisticated glass goblet, but rather ingenuity, something simple and "gourmet".
It can be a long transparent glass, a granny's glass with details or a canchera jug.
Let's go with the first one !!!
- The Classic: * 🙂
Here in Argentina it became fashionable over time and thanks to the brunches this alcoholic and fresh drink that consists of 2 simple ingredients, in the alcoholic base a champagne (sparkling) and orange juice.
With you ** ~~ LA MIMOSA ~~ **
** 500 ml of orange juice
500 ml of sparkling wine **
It can be prepared in a jar decorated with sliced oranges inside and as tips it can be served in glasses with a cherry or icing inside.
Ideal for the midnight toast.
And for the previous I offer you a relaxed, fresh and light drink. Ideal to accompany food or wait for it with a snack.
** ~~ Cynar Julep ~~ ** 😎
** 60 mll Cynar
15 ml Pink Grapefruit juice
10 ml lemon juice
1 tsp sugar **
** Mint **
In a glass add the mint branches, the tablespoon of sugar and the lemon juice. Fill the glass with ice, add the measure of Cynar and complete with grapefruit juice. Mix a little with a spoon.
Secret tip: put the mint in your hands and clap, that releases the scents and flavors of the leaf before placing it in the glass.
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of grapefruit! 🤗
