Cocktail is a drink made up of two or more kinds of wine or wine mixed with fruit juice. Specifically, he said that cocktail is a mixed drink made of basic ingredients (spirits), additives (liqueur and other auxiliary materials), spices, coloring agents and special seasoning products according to a certain amount. Merriam-Webster's dictionary in the United States notes that cocktail is a small amount of iced wine. It is based on Rum, Whisky or other spirits and wine, supplemented with other auxiliary materials, such as juice, egg white, Bitter, sugar, etc., and is made by stirring or shaking, and finally decorated with lemon slices or mint leaves. Finally, we quote the words of American Cocktail authority Esbury to make a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to the word cocktail: cocktail should be a nourishing agent to stimulate appetite and must not run counter to it. According to the definition, Qing makes the wine sweet or uses a lot of juice to blend, and don't stay away from the category of cocktails; Cocktail can not only stimulate appetite, but also excite people and create a warm atmosphere. Otherwise, it is meaningless. Cleverly prepared cocktails are the most beautiful drinks, and cocktails must have excellent taste. Therefore, the taste buds of the tongue should be fully opened so as to taste the stimulating taste. If it is too sweet, too bitter and too fragrant, it will cover up the ability to taste wine and reduce the quality of wine; Cocktail (cocktail) needs sufficient cooling, so it is most inappropriate to use goblets to scald wine. Ice should be added when preparing, and the amount of ice should be strictly controlled according to the formula. Ice cubes should be melted to the required degree.
Cocktails pay great attention to color, fragrance and taste; It is also called artistic wine because of its combination of form and shape. The original cocktail beverage market was mainly occupied by spicy drinks exclusively enjoyed by men. Later, with the widespread drinking of cocktails and entering various social occasions, sweet drinks suitable for women's tastes were derived to satisfy those who could not bear alcohol. In America's prohibition era (1920 1 month 17 to 19331February 5), the technology of making non-alcoholic mixed drinks advanced by leaps and bounds, thus laying the foundation for today's soda drinks, which were then called Mocktails or Softails. It uses the modulation form of cocktails to make non-alcoholic drinks.
The history of cocktails is only over a century, and it has only been popular in countries all over the world for decades. People's attitudes towards cocktails have always been mixed. Some people think that mixing cocktails is an act of "wine blindness", which spoils the extremely valuable Cognac, whisky and wine, and the color, fragrance and taste carefully brewed for many years are all destroyed in an instant. They oppose drinking mixed wine. Others think that drinking cocktails is wonderful. It opens up a new color of wine. In the field of fragrance and taste, it also contains artistic conception that can only be expressed but not expressed. Drinking cocktails is an artistic enjoyment. Practice has proved that cocktail has won people's praise for its unique charm, and various formulas have emerged one after another, making it an indispensable functional drink at banquets. The worldwide spread of cocktails can be traced back to the United States many years ago 10O, when the ice-making industry in the United States was moving towards industrialization, which undoubtedly laid the foundation for the rapid development of cocktails, making the United States the most popular country at that time, and the bartenders there were also the most superb and wonderful; Later, the prohibition of alcohol in the United States led to the outflow of Bartender: when they arrived in France or Britain, heroes came into play, which also contributed to the arrival of the golden age of cocktails in Europe and even the world.
