Tips for Making Delicious Cocktails

Making great cocktails is an art that combines creativity, technique, and attention to detail. Here are some tips to help you craft exceptional drinks.

Start with Quality Ingredients

Use high-quality spirits and fresh juices. The quality of your ingredients greatly influences the final taste of your cocktail.

Measure Precisely

Invest in a jigger or measuring tools to ensure accurate proportions. Consistency in measurements is key to achieving a balanced flavor profile.

Chill Your Glassware

Pre-chill your glassware in the freezer or fill with ice while preparing the cocktail to keep your drinks cold and refreshing.

Taste as You Go

Don’t be afraid to taste your cocktail-in-progress. Adjust ingredients if needed to achieve the desired flavor. I mean you don’t need to be told to do this . . . right?

Remember that making cocktails is both a science and an art, so don’t be afraid to get creative and have fun with your creations. Over time, you’ll develop your own signature cocktails and techniques!

Here’s what you’re going to need to make this pink margarita.

• 1.5 oz tequila
• 4 oz pink lemonade (see below to make it yourself)
• 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 ounce Triple Sec
• Ice
• Lemon slices, rosemary, and raspberries for garnish

Pink Lemonade

• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1/3 cup of water
• 1/2 cup of raspberries
• 1/3 cup of lemon juice
• 3 cups of iced water (You can use a bit more if it’s too concentrated)

1. Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar with the water in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and heat until the sugar is completely dissolved; swirl the pan occasionally until it begins to thicken and look like syrup. Let cool.
2. Continue by adding your raspberries into a blender or nutribullet. Blend until it becomes a puree. Push the raspberry puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds.
3. Once the simple syrup is cooled to room temperature, combine the raspberry puree, simple syrup, and lemon juice in a large pitcher.
4. Add the cold water and mix until combined.

And as I always say, enjoy this recipe responsibly and please don’t drink and drive.
