You can also use this with your mixing glass rather than purchasing an additional Julep strainer. ❏ Paring Knife Essential for cutting fruit, garnishes, etc. ❏ Citrus Juicer (ie. reamer, elbow, etc.) Fresh citrus is an essential ingredient in many classic and modern cocktails. What are the essential types of glassware? ❏ Old Fashioned / Rocks Straight spirits, old fashioneds, sours, negronis, etc. ❏ Coupe Glass / Stemmed Cocktail Glass (ie. Nick & Nora style) Sidecars, daiquiris, martinis, Manhattans, etc. ❏ High Ball Collins’, Mojitos, French 75s, etc. What are the secondary bar tools I should acquire? ❏ Barspoon (28cm+) Makes life behind the bar easier but you can easily use a short spoon, knife or end of a wooden spoon as a decent substitute. ❏ Mixing Glass (500mL or more) A nice sturdy base will make stirring a little easier. 500-600mL is the ideal size as you can mix 2-3 drinks at once. (Note:- dilution and chilling times will then vary) ❏ Julep Strainer Traditional strainer for using with a mixing glass. Some styles have a kink in the neck of the strainer, making it easy to rest on the edge of the mixing glass. ❏ Chopping Board Keep your workspace clean and scratch free! ❏ Peeler If your knife work needs some improvement, a good quality peeler will make your life easier.

Good quality pourers will minimise wastage also. Down the track purchases: What bar tools should I hold off on purchasing? ❏ Ice Mallet / Lewis Bag Ideal for crushing ice if you love Mint Juleps, Swizzles and tiki drinks. ❏ Channel Knife / Zester ❏ Atomiser Bottle Great for misting aromatics, peaty whisky and absinthe on drinks. ❏ Swizzle Stick Handy to have if you love swizzles and tiki style drinks but nothing a long barspoon can’t do. Where should I buy bar equipment from?

    CAFE ROYAL COCKTAIL BOOK Compiled by W. J. TARLING Illustrated by FREDERICK CARTER Decorated by THE CHEVRON STUDIO PUBLICATIONS FROM PALL MALL LTD 43 DUKE STREET, ST. JAMES', LONDON, S.W.i MADE AND PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY THE SIDNEY PRESS LTD., LONDON AND BEDFORD [Sketched by Wykeham Studios ALL Royalties derived by W. J. Tarling from this book are to be equally divided between The United Kingdom Bartenders' Guild Sickness Benefit Fund and The Cafe Royal Sports Club Fund. Contents COCKTAILS - - - Section One OTHER DRINKS - - Section Two INDEX to names of cocktails whose vast number prevents inclusion of . recipes in this book - - - Section Three GLOSSARY - - - Section Four Coronation Edition 1937 Preface O compile this book of Cocktails has been no easy task since it has entailed minutely examining over four thousand recipes, and to keep the book within reasonable bounds it has been only possible to give a selection of the most suitable cocktails. The majority of recipes are the originals of Members of the United Kingdom Bartenders' Guild, of which I have the honour to be President, and I can assure my readers that if they will follow these recipes carefully they will be able to enjoy many drinks with which they were hitherto unacquainted. Careful observation has shown that at the majority of Cocktail parties there is little variation in the cocktails offered, and each party is apt to have a monotonous repetition of Martini, Bronx, Manhattan, and White Lady Cocktails, all, I grant, very good cocktails indeed, but just as apt to be dull as continuous dinners at which the same soup, fish, meat and sweet are served.

  • Bar Tools the Bartender’S Best Friends Behind the Stick by Brandy Rand
    TOOLSOFTHETRADE Bar Tools The bartender’s best friends behind the stick BY BRANDY RAND We asked the country’s busiest bartenders to give us their must-have bar tools—easy to use, sturdy enough to withstand the weekend slam, and functionally superior to the basics. Here are some of their favorite items so you can pour, measure, muddle, stir, shake, strain and squeeze with ease. 2 1. KORIKO WEIGHTED MIXING TIN 1 Though there are a thousand shakers on the market, these earn high praise from bartenders for a big performance: self-sealing, no sticking and a high velocity (and noisy) shake. The small is 18 ounces and large is 28; and because they are stainless steel, durability is a done deal. 3 $7.95 for small, $8.95 for large at cocktailkingdom.com 2. PUG! MUDDLER Despite the proliferation of plastic and metal muddlers, most bartend- ers agree that an un-varnished wooden one is the way to go. PUG! muddlers are deemed some of the best as they are handmade and available in a variety of hardwoods: maple, cherry and jatoba. $40 at thebostonshaker.com 3. OXO MINI ANGLED MEASURING CUP A “why didn’t anyone do this sooner” measuring cup that has cocktail- size ounce, milliliter and tablespoon measurements on the inside so you can read from the top as you pour. The angled spout eliminates 4 spills and clear plastic with brightly colored markings makes it easy to read in dimly lit bars. $3.99 at oxo.com 5 4. RSVP ENDURANCE LEMON & LIME SQUEEZER It’s all in the squeeze with a handle ergonomically designed to provide leverage for a good juicing.
