In the modern world of mixology something new and interesting is constantly happening, original drinks are invented, but surveys show that cocktail connoisseurs still prefer the good old classics. Surely each of you has your favorite cocktail - refreshing minty Mojito, warming in the cold B-52, suitable for a refined brunch Bellini or unpretentious but tasty Cuba Libre. And no doubt you've made your own cocktails before, even if it was just a simple gin and tonic. Homemade cocktails are an inexhaustible source of creativity. Mixing drinks, playing with flavors, finding your own variants of their combinations is incredibly exciting. But before you start mixology experiments, you need to learn the basics, as in any other business: learn the techniques, equip your home bar with the necessary minimum ingredients, pick up a few types of glasses and the equipment that will help you create delicious mixed drinks. The main idea behind this book was accessibility and simplicity: of ingredients, utensils, and techniques alike. There are no complicated and hard-to-reproduce cocktails with rare liqueurs or expensive brands of spirits. Recipes are collected in chapters according to the principle of the main ingredient, because it is it that acts as the "idea inspirer" of the future cocktail, and all other additions are selected to it. Vodka, cognac, rum, whiskey, gin, tequila, wine and vermouth, liqueurs - the basic elements of bar classics - will be the starting point when choosing a cocktail that you decide to make. In addition to recipes, the book contains interesting and entertaining information about cocktails, a description of bar equipment, the main types of glasses and drinks, as well as a list of optimal home bar equipment without excesses, that is, reasonable and not too burdensome for your budget. From brutal "White Russian" to feminine "Mimosa", from playful "Grasshopper" to straightforward "Negroni", from tropical "Pina Colada" to hot Irish coffee - the book contains about 40 classic recipes, as well as recommendations for substituting ingredients, so in the end the number of recipes is much larger. And the drinks that follow them are suitable for absolutely any occasion, event or time of year.
