Expert Tips
Glassware Tip
Chill your cocktail glass in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving. A cold glass keeps your drink at the perfect temperature longer and adds an elegant frosted appearance.
Bitters Tip
Bitters are like salt in cooking - a few dashes balance and enhance other flavors. Experiment with different bitters varieties to create unique flavor profiles.
Hosting Tip
These straightforward recipes are perfect for batch preparation. Multiply the recipe, mix in a pitcher (minus ice and carbonation), and serve quickly at parties.
Vermouth is actually a fortified wine flavored with botanicals. Once opened, it should be refrigerated and used within a few weeks.
