The World Of Cocktails
A delicious Greek cocktail is the Greek Doctor cocktail. Ouzo, the spirit known to Greece, gives the cocktail an incomparable taste. Vodka and juices round off the cocktail.
The M + M cocktail was created in 2015 by Marco Montefiori of Amaro Montenegro and M + M is short for Monte y Mezcal. The cocktail became popular because this 50/50 mix of Montenegro and Mezcal was served straight and led to the drink being nicknamed Manager’s Meeting among bartenders.
The Fancy Free cocktail is basically a Whiskey Old Fashioned with maraschino instead of sugar. But it tastes surprisingly dry, supported by generous splashes of orange and aromatic bitters. The cocktail was invented in 1940.
The White Negroni cocktail is a nice adaptation of the classic Negroni. The bittersweet aperitivo Suze is the love child of the White Negroni and is dominated by gentian liqueur. So the first few sips can be challenging, but once you’ve had it, it’s difficult to stop.
The Freddy Fudpucker cocktail is a Harvey Wallbanger made with Tequila instead of Vodka. Usually the cocktail is poured into a glass and Galliano is poured over it. However, it is better to mix Tequila and orange separately and then strain over fresh ice. Then add the Galliano.
The Blood and Sand cocktail is an aromatic, fruity cocktail from the 1930s. The short drink is – alongside Rusty Nail and the Manhattan variants Rob Roy and Bobby Burns – one of the very few well-known mixed drinks that are made with Scotch Whisky. It is not known exactly when the cocktail was created, but it is certain that the name refers to the 1922 silent film of the same name.
As the name suggests, the Mastiha Sour cocktail consists of the Greek spirit Masthia and is based on other sour cocktails in its preparation. Mastic is a resin extraction from Skinos trees, which only grow on the island of Chios. The bark of the trunks is scored so that the resin can drip off. The mastic resin is said to have stomach-friendly properties. It is very popular in Greece and used to make various products. You can not only drink mastic pure on ice, but also make exciting cocktails with it.
The Dirty Monte cocktail is a refreshing summer drink. At first glance, the combination with sparkling wine, Amaro Montenegro and green olive brine seems a bit unusual, but in the end the sparkling cocktail impresses with its excellent taste.
The Miss Elena cocktail is a fantastic riff on an Espresso Martini. But completely without espresso replaced with Amaro Nonino and Sherry.
The Alpine Sour is an aggressively and delightfully flavored sour. Tart, herbal and rich, orgeat’s unctuous character holds this bold shake together
