You wonder if you are selecting the best option and have a lingering feeling that you don’t really know the answer to the question, “What is whiskey?” Any good relationship takes time and effort, and a willingness to sit down and learn, so you’ve come to the right place if you’re looking to get into a long-term relationship with this spirit. It can be hard to sort through the many facets of whiskey on your own. Is it more important that the distillery has been around for 150 years or that all-natural well water is used? Does a good beginner whiskey need a master distiller name on the label? Is scotch the same thing as whiskey? You’ve heard people talk about scotch, sipping whiskies and bourbon, but what you really need is a beginner guide to whiskey and you’re too embarrassed to ask. Even the best budget whiskeys, with varying levels of alcohol content, can be smooth and delicious — especially if you age and flavor your spirits at home for extra enjoyment. And bragging rights! This guide to drinking whiskey on a budget is like couples therapy for you and your crush. It will move you beyond the “bottom’s up!” approach to whiskey to an understanding of how it’s made, flavored, aged and best enjoyed. Simply put, at this point in adulthood, you should be acquainted with this delicious spirit and willing to take your relationship to the next level. 3 Don Draper and a Third of American Spirit Drinkers Pour Whiskey. You Should, Too. The cool factor of whiskey was solidified long before “Mad Men” star Don Draper, played by Jon Hamm, was seen drinking it in seemingly every scene, but the hit show didn’t hurt whiskey’s reputation or sales. In fact, Draper’s reserve whiskey of choice saw a 23% increase in sales the year after the show aired, after many years of stagnant sales. Whiskey clearly isn’t just for handsome TV stars. You’ve probably noticed whiskey bars and speakeasies with whiskey tastings and whiskey pairings at your favorite restaurants. Americans drink over 460 million liters of whiskey every year, which accounts for nearly 30% of the spirits consumed in the United States. This beginner’s guide to whiskey will help you join your fellow countrymen and women, and will teach you the difference between whiskey vs. whisky. That extra “e” is important, as you’ll find out. Soon your love for whiskey will be matched only by Anchorman Ron Burgundy, who can sing about his love for scotch in melodic tones. This whiskey guide will educate you about the basics of ordering whiskey so you don’t look like a fool and don’t waste your money, the types of whiskey so you know what you’re drinking, and how to enjoy whiskey on a budget. Even if you’ve decided whiskey isn’t for you, but you’ve got some whiskey-lovers in your family and want to treat them to unique gifts, this guide is for you. So pour yourself a couple of fingers — a common whiskey measurement leftover from the Wild West when men would wrap their hands around the glass and pour to the height of one or two fingers — and study up! 4 CHAPTER 1: Whiskey Basics Let’s start at the very beginning, since you’ve got to ask for whiskey before you can drink it. Here is a quick look at how to order whiskey and the types of whiskey drinks that might ease you into your newfound favorite beverage. How to Order Whiskey It can be intimidating to dive right into drinking whiskey straight, which is actually whiskey neat, but more on that later. For many people, cocktails crafted with whiskey are a good gateway to enjoying the spirit on its own. There are plenty of delicious cocktails to try with whiskey, but here are just a few to get you off the starting block. Old Fashioned This is the OG of whiskey cocktails, and it’s so ubiquitous there is even a glass called an old-fashioned in which it should be served. But don’t get too hung up on ceremony, since this drink is pretty easy to make: sugar, whiskey, bitters and ice. Garnish your old fashioned cocktail with a slice of orange peel and/or a maraschino cherry, and you’re in business with one of your first whiskey drinks. Manhattan Another classic whiskey cocktail is the Manhattan, which is similar to the old fashioned, except remove the sugar and add sweet vermouth. The typical ration is two parts whiskey to one part sweet vermouth, then add in the ice, bitters, orange peel and maraschino cherry, and you’re ready to sop away. 5 A Manhattan does not hide the taste of the whiskey behind a bunch of sweeteners or mixers. It simply allows the flavors to come through. Whiskey Sour We are moving more into the category of masking the flavor of whiskey, at least somewhat, with this cocktail. A whiskey sour requires sour mix, and you can either make that on your own or buy it in most liquor or grocery stores. A basic sour mix is made of one part lemon juice, one part sugar and two parts water. Mix the liquids together, and then stir in the sugar until it dissolves. (Or just buy it at the store.) Once you’ve got the sour mix, make a whiskey sour by filling a glass with crushed ice, pouring in four ounces of your sour mix, one and half ounces of whiskey, and garnish with a maraschino cherry. Enjoy while chilled. Mint Julep Since bourbon is thought to have been invented in Kentucky — more on that detail later — it’s no surprise that the mint julep is the official drink of the Kentucky Derby. But don’t wait for the first Saturday in May to try this whiskey cocktail. 6 Typically served in a silver or pewter cup, you can make do with an old fashioned glass if that’s what you have on hand. Put about 10 mint leaves at the bottom of the cup, and pour one and a half teaspoons of sugar overtop, muddle those together until the leaves start to disintegrate. Then pour in a dash of seltzer, fill the cup with crushed ice and add in 2 and a half ounces of bourbon whiskey. Add another dash of seltzer, give it a stir and top the cup with a whole mint leaf for garnish. Serve right away while all of the ingredients are cold. Irish Coffee Sometimes you want to cozy up with a warm drink or you need a jolt of caffeine with your whiskey. Not to fear, the Irish coffee has you covered. Made of coffee, Irish whiskey, an Irish cream liqueur like Baileys Irish Cream and topped with whipped cream, Irish coffee is a great drink to have in place of, or next to, your dessert at the end of a meal. You can play around with flavors of coffee and liqueur, but you’re masking the whiskey taste with every additional flavor, so don’t use the good stuff for this type of drink. If you aren’t sure where to start on your whiskey adventure, ask your friendly bartender. Wine enthusiasts don’t think twice about asking a sommelier for wine advice, so don’t be afraid to ask the bartender, who serves hundreds of these drinks a week. Some forward- thinking drinking establishments even have whiskey sommeliers, but even if your haunt doesn’t have one, the good old barkeep will be able to help. Tell him or her about the other types of drinks that you like and ask for suggestions. That old truism, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” is true for whiskey tasting, too. There are endless blends and types of whiskey and whiskey cocktails, so just because you don’t like your first experience, don’t give up on the spirit entirely. Of course, don’t try them all in one sitting, either. Always drink responsibly. Whiskey Drinks Now that you’ve eased into the wide, wonderful world of whiskey with a few classic cocktails, you can confidently make your move towards different orders. Beyond the cocktails, whiskey can be ordered a few different ways that are closer to its pure form. But sometimes ordering whiskey drinks involves a jargon that is hard to follow. Let us demystify that for you right now. 7 Order your whiskey “on the rocks” if you’d like it on ice, and don’t be ashamed. Many people prefer to drink it cold.

According to historians, a bartender at London’s Brook’s Club decided that Champagne also should mourn, and paired it with Guinness stout to make a Black Velvet. 4 CHAMPAGNE & SPARKLING COCKTAILS Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial 125ml £11 Bottle £65 Three years ageing result in a Champagne with body, flavour and harmony.

  • Classic Recipe Training Manual
    Lowder’s Easy List of 178 (Modern) Classics to Know 2016 Foreword Thanks very much for taking the time to read through this recipe list. I took the time to write it because in doing cocktail trainings at different bars in different countries, I noticed that most junior and intermediate bartenders are sharing a common struggle. The struggle is that (1) writing a bar recipe and training manual takes forever (2) bar managers have too much on their plate to sit down and write a good one, and (3) there’s just too much disparate information out there for new bartenders to just put together this information on their own. At countless bars, restaurants, and hotels worldwide, the situation is this: People get hired at a bar and have to learn the menu recipes in order to work. Then, they have to learn a few core classic recipes that guests ask for regularly. Sometimes the bar provides a list of standard classic recipes, sometimes the bar doesn’t. The bartenders learn what they need to learn to make it through service, and that knowledge is usually enough to carry them through to the next menu cycle. Beyond that, additional education is pretty much up to them. But how to get educated? Well, there are a lot of options available. Books, blogs, classes, other bartenders, second bar jobs, seminars, apps, brand reps, and on and on. But where to start? And how much to learn? There are a lot of recipes out there. Which ones are actually good? Should I memorize a whole cocktail book? Write down the recipes I like into my notebook? Or keep it on my backbar to look at when I need to? Trying to memorize a cocktail book won’t make you a good bartender any more than trying to memorize a Spanish dictionary will make you fluent in Spanish.

  • Whisky Logbook : Probably the Best Grown up Drink in the World Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    WHISKY LOGBOOK : PROBABLY THE BEST GROWN UP DRINK IN THE WORLD PDF, EPUB, EBOOK William E Cullen | 104 pages | 22 Oct 2018 | Independently Published | 9781729115022 | English | none Whisky Logbook : Probably the best grown up drink in the world PDF Book The drink, which gives you a nice buzz along with a bonus dose of caffeine, was the original Red Bull and vodka before the energy drink was even invented, as Cool Material noted. Michter's 10 Year Rye. But I definitely come out of it for the better. The smell is nutty like a whisky, with the slight zing of orange and grapefruit. If pirates traded not in rum, but in bourbon, this is how it would that bourbon would taste. According to Tipsy Bartender , the crack pipe shot is actually a real thing that you can ask for by name. Second, each category is broken down into sub-categories; for instance, four- to year-old blended scotch whiskies; ten- to year-old American ryes, to year-old Canadian whiskies; the list goes on. Made with Southern Comfort and lime juice, SoCo and lime is meant to be a shooter, with a lime garnish. The bourbon itself is terrific, with some tropical notes that hit the palate first, really nice spices coming in next, and a mid-length finish that just leaves you wanting more. If you won't be in the area though, don't worry — there's a good chance you can pick it up at your local shop. Becherovka cocktails are swiftly appearing on trendy bar menus around the world, but hardcore drinkers especially Czechs, who drink more beer per capita than any other country don't seem to mind it straight up.

  • The Old Fashioned
    PRAISE FOR THE OLD FASHIONED “The making of mixed drinks, especially among bourbon aficionados, is steeped in ritualistic pur- ity and exacting particularity of preparation, and this is especially true of the Old Fashioned. This book is for those who love the drink and bourbon in all its many incarnations, including those who take pride in Kentucky and associations with its signal beverage.” —Richard Taylor, former poet laureate of Kentucky “The Martini has several books recounting its his- tory and extolling its virtues, so it is about time that the Old Fashioned, which also has a signa- ture glass, had a book devoted to its history and recipes.” —Susan Reigler, coauthor of The Kentucky Bourbon Cocktail Book 3/129 “Albert W. A. Schmid has done an excellent job researching this cocktail and produced a very en- joyable book. I look forward to adding it to my library.” —Michael R.

    10 CLASSIC COCKTAILS AND THE BOOTLEGGER’S VERSIONS! Our Story... This story began during Prohibition in Charlotte, NC. Frank Ratcliffe, a dapper and handsome young man with a quick smile, recognized a need within the community and sought to fill it. (Okay, let’s face it: he was a bootlegger) But unlike many “moonshiners” of the era, Frank focused on more than just “corn liquor”. He developed his own versions of wine, vodka, rum, whiskey… even brandies. Before he passed away, he buried his knowledge in seven mason jars in a secret location. His lovely wife Velma didn’t know exactly where. We didn’t find them on the first try, or the second… and that’s how we learned that sometimes you just have to dig a little deeper. Now we invite you to enjoy his time-honored recipes.
