Cocktails are a wonderful way to brighten up the night and share with friends, all in moderation of course. On this occasion we select three cocktails from the golden age of the United States, which of course are internationally famous. All of them are best enjoyed very cold, so ice is an ingredient that cannot be missing.
• 15 ml part of gin
• 150 ml cola
In a mixing glass or tall glass, mix the five white liqueurs, add the lemon juice, the cola and stir carefully so as not to spill. Serve accompanied by a slice of lemon and a little mint.
MINT JULEPS
INGREDIENTS
• 120 ml Bourbon
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 60 ml of sparkling mineral water
• 8 mint leaves
• a sprig of mint
• ice.
PREPARATION
This cocktail is prepared directly in the glass, which should preferably be a short glass of the “old fashion” type. Place the mint leaves, sugar and sparkling mineral water in the glass and mash well with a mortar. Add a lot of ice and finish by pouring the bourbon. Stir so that the aromas are integrated and serve.
MANHATTAN
INGREDIENTS
- 50ml of whiskey
- 20ml of red vermouth
- 1 touch of Angostura bitters
- ice
PREPARATION
Before preparing it, store the glasses for at least 1 hour in the fridge so that they are very cold. In the mixing glass, add the ice, the whiskey, the red vermouth and the Angostura. Then stir with a cocktail spoon. The idea is that all the ingredients are chilled with ice. Serve in glasses and decorate with a cherry.
