When making cocktails at home, like a classic Whiskey Sour or a luscious Gin Fizz, mastering the art of emulsification can take your drinks to the next level. Emulsification is the process that combines ingredients like egg whites or cream with the other liquids in your cocktail, creating a smooth and creamy texture. By understanding the chemistry behind emulsions, you can achieve stable and visually appealing cocktails, impressing your guests with both the look and taste of your creations. #CocktailTips #GinFizz #CraftCocktails #CocktailChemistry #MixingItUp

We're banging out another clarified cocktail and this month it's our favorite, the Negroni only sunnier. With the addition of citrus and milk we're able to strip away the signature red hue (sorry Campari!) and give it a warm, sunny yellow disposition that with that added citrus almost becomes a tiki-style cocktail. It's simple and super tasty! 1oz each of Gin, Campari and Vermouth, out favorites are locally made @sutlersspiritco gin, regular ole Campari and Punt e Mes vermouth. Avoid the $7 vermouths, they're thin and lack body. 0.5oz each of Orange and Lime juices, freshly squeezed heathens! Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice. In another container, pour 1oz cold milk. You're looking for a 4:1 cocktail to Milk ratio. Let curdle and always add the cocktail to the milk, not the other way around. Strain through a coffee filter twice and drink if you only made enough for 1 cocktail which is a waste of time. Make as much as your container will hold so you can store these and have "fridge negroni" whenever your little heart desires. Expect the filtration process to take about an hour depending on size. #lightingdesign #qlightingdefined #qlsnc #qlighting #iesna #illuminatingengineeringsociety #architecturallighting #aianorthcarolina #designsketching #industrialdesign #productdesign #blueprints #cocktails #cocktailporn #lightingdesign #lightingporn #qlighting #qlightingdefined #qlsnc #craftcocktails #clarifiedcocktails #clarifiednegroni

The Secret to Cocktail Magic: It's All About Balance! ✨ Ever wonder how bartenders whip up those consistently delicious cocktails? It's all about the magic formula: spirit, citrus, and sweet in perfect harmony! Here's the key to unlocking your inner mixologist: The Golden Ratio: 2 oz Spirit: This is your base, the heart of the drink. Gin, vodka, tequila, rum - the possibilities are endless! 3/4 oz Sweet: Simple syrup, liqueurs, flavored syrups - add a touch of sweetness to round out the flavors. 3/4 oz Citrus: Freshly squeezed lime, lemon, grapefruit - a burst of citrus brightens the drink and cuts through the spirit. Pro Tip: Measure it Out! ⚖️ Using a jigger or bar spoon ensures consistent flavor every single time. No more "eyeballing" it and ending up with a cocktail that's too sweet or sour. The Shake-Up: Combine all your ingredients with ice in a shaker, give it a good shake (think rockstar, not sleepy arm swing), and strain into a fresh ice-filled glass. Voila! A perfectly balanced masterpiece ready to impress your taste buds (and maybe your friends). Now get mixing and share your creations!

Ever wondered why some cocktails are shaken while others are stirred? Let’s break it down! Shaking a cocktail is all about that vigorous energy. When you shake, you not only mix the ingredients but also chill and dilute your drink faster — think 15 seconds of shaking versus 90 seconds of stirring. Plus, shaking introduces air, giving your cocktail a frothy texture that’s perfect for drinks like Margaritas and Whiskey Sours 💫 On the flip side, stirring is a gentler approach. It’s ideal for spirit-forward cocktails like Martinis and Manhattans, where you want to maintain that crystal-clear appearance. Stirring cools and dilutes the drink without adding air, resulting in a smooth, silky texture that showcases the flavors of high-quality spirits 🌟 So, next time you're behind the bar, remember: shake it for froth, stir it for clarity. In addition to the right technique, you also need the right spirits — check out our Lineup: https://lnkd.in/dXyv5cdJ #HollywoodDistillery #ArtisanalSpirits #Mixology #Shaking #Stirring

Mixology is about more than ingredients. Techniques like carbonation can elevate your cocktails, adding fizz and effervescence. Try using a soda siphon or carbonation system to infuse bubbles seamlessly into any drink. Experiment with different levels of carbonation to find the perfect balance and mouthfeel for each. Alternatively, incorporating ingredients like tonic water or sparkling wine can enhance flavors and textures. With careful attention to carbonation, you take your craft cocktails to the next level!🫧 #CraftingCocktailFizz #ElevatedMixology #CarbonationTechniques #FizzAndFlavor #CraftCocktails
