There are som rules of thumb to follow to simplify cocktail creation.
THREE PARTS
There are generally three parts to a cocktail.
1. Spirits & Liqueurs
2. Citrus
3. Sweetening agents
You will generally have the same amount of spirits as acid and sugars combined.
4 -3 -1½ RULE
This is a great way to communicate cocktails amongst yourselves behind the bar. It simply means:
4cl Spirits
3cl Citrus
1½ Sugars
The amounts will vary according to your guests preferences. Or, if you will add a sweet liqueur for instance, you will either lower the sugar, or use more acid. Click below to view James cocktail creation.
