About Cocktails
A cocktails is normally a short drink of up to about 10 cl. Anything larger

being a mixed drink or long drink.
A true cocktail is made of two methods: shaking (if it contains a fruit juice) or
stirring (with wine based ingredients and clear ones)
Points to note when making cocktails:

Ice should always be clear and clean
Serve cocktails in chilled glasses
Always place in the shaker or mixing glass first the ice, than the
non-alcoholic drink, and than the alcoholic beverages
About cocktails: the stories behind some of the most
famous ones
Martini: Some claim that its simply a dryer version of

an older cocktail called the Martinez; Martinez,
California, the birthplace of this cocktail, thus stakes
its claim to the title of birthplace of the martini. Others
postulate that the drinks name simply comes from
Martini & Rossi, an Italian company thats been
exporting its vermouths to the U.S. since the 19th
century
The venerable Manhattan, a blend of whiskey, sweet

vermouth, and bitters may date back to the New York
bar scene of the 1860s, but there are also some more
intriguing tales about its origins. According to one of
these legends, Jennie Churchill threw a party at the
Manhattan Club in 1874 to celebrate Samuel J.
Tildens victory in New Yorks gubernatorial election.
About cocktails: the stories behind when the most
known cocktails entered a glass for the first time
The Black Russian

Surprisingly, containing vodka is the only thing this
cocktail has to do with Russia. Bartender Gustave Tops
created the drink in 1949 or 1950 while working at the
Hotel Metropole in Brussels. Tops supposedly first
mixed the combination of Kahlua and vodka for
American socialite Perle Mesta, who was serving as
the ambassador to Luxembourg at the time.
Long Island Iced Tea

It might not actually contain tea, but at least the Long
Island part of the name is accurate. This spring break
favorite is fairly young as cocktails go; its only been
around for about 32 years. Rosebud Butt, a bartender
at the Oak Beach Inn in Hampton Bays, invented the
drink in 1976, so if you ever need to find a patron saint
of terrible hangovers and nights spent falling off of
barstools, Rosebud may be your man.
