Liquid Arts Academy Christmas Cocktails / Fred Macaulay
Best Home Location for making drinks:
Ideally centralise making all drinks next to a sink ? close to fridge & glassware for waste disposal and all other ingredients ? waste motions are the enemy of a good liquid chef, so minimize any unnecessary movements and keep everything in close quarters and continue to make good drinks efficiently at home
Trick to making nice drinks & cocktails on efficiently is Preparation.
Once the prep has been done it becomes easy. Like cooking a stir fry!!
Bar Kit Requirements Home Kit if no proper cocktail Kit
25 or 50ml Measure - Egg Cup holder ? Old Camera Spool holder ?
Muddler - Rolling pin
Punch Bowl - Large Sauce pan or fruit bowl / with Soup Ladle
Cocktail Shaker - One Large Jar (One lid with holes ? One without)
Pour Mat ? Just use a dish towel to catch any drips
Cubed Ice ?
To make cocktails well! Always get three times the amount of ice you think you need. Ice is critical to making drinks, so always make sure and get loads. It melts and you use ice constantly when making cocktail so make sure you don?t run out or things will go pear shaped.
Crushed Ice ?
Double bag your cubed bag ice and bash it with rolling pin or muddler till crushed
