Classic Bar Drinks
|
Some of the more classic bar drinks that have been around for a number of years include the following: White Russian, Mudslide, Martini, Tom Collins, Screwdriver, Bloody Mary and Manhattan. In order to prepare these classic bar drinks, you will need the following ingredients: vodka, coffee liqueur, light cream, Kahlua, Bailey's Irish Cream, orange juice, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper, gin, dry vermouth, sweet vermouth, superfine sugar, club soda, bourbon, bitters, lemon juice, lime juice, limes, lemons, olives, oranges and cherries. You will also need bar glasses, a blender and drink shaker. White Russian Ingredients: 2 ounces vodka 1 ounce coffee liqueur Light cream Directions: Mix vodka and coffee liqueur over ice cubes in glass. Fill the remainder of drink with light cream. Mudslide Ingredients: 2 ounces vodka 2 ounces Kahlua 2 ounces Bailey's Irish Cream Mix all ingredients along with cracked ice in a drink shaker. Serve in a chilled glass. Screwdriver Ingredients: 2 ounces vodka Orange juice Directions: Place about three ice cubes in a glass and pour in vodka. Next, fill the remainder of glass with orange juice. Stir and serve. Bloody Mary Ingredients: 1 ½ ounces vodka 3 ounces tomato juice 1 dash of lemon juice ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 3 drops of Tabasco hot sauce 1 lime wedge Directions: Mix all ingredients except lime wedge with ice and strain into a glass over ice cubes. May add salt and pepper according to taste. Garnish with lime wedge and serve. Martini Ingredients: 2 ½ ounces of gin 1 ½ teaspoons of dry vermouth 1 lemon peel twist Directions: Fill a glass halfway with ice cubes. Combine gin and vermouth and pour into glass. Stir well. Strain into a glass and garnish with lemon peel twist. May also garnish with an olive according to taste. Tom Collins Ingredients: 2 ounces of gin 1 ounce of lemon juice 1 teaspoon superfine sugar 3 ounces of club soda 1 cherry 1 orange slice Directions: Fill shaker halfway with ice cubes. Next, mix gin, lemon juice and sugar. If you do not have superfine sugar, you can run regular granulated sugar through a food processor quickly in order to produce superfine sugar. Do not substitute granulated sugar unless it has been processed. It will affect the drink. Next, shake well. Strain into the glass with ice cubes. Add club soda, stir and garnish. Manhattan Ingredients: ¾ ounces sweet vermouth 2 ½ ounces bourbon Bitters Ice cubes Cherry Orange peel twist Directions: Mix vermouth, bourbon, bitters and about three cubes of ice together in a mixing glass. Stir gently. This is important because vigorous stirring may bruise the spirits which can result in a cloudy drink. Place cherry in chilled glass and strain drink mixture over the cherry. Next rub the edge of the orange peel over the rim of the glass and gently twist it over the drink. This will release the oils from the orange into the drink.
