The Art Of Drinking by Carlos Zatch
Raise Your Glass!
In this post, I'll be sharing my personal favorites, three drinks that I consider to be the epitome of flavor and elegance.
From classic favorites to trendy twists, these drinks are a celebration of taste and artistry.
Old Fashioned
A cocktail made by muddling sugar with bitters, adding alcohol (like whiskey or brandy), and a twist of citrus rind. Served in a round 8-12 US fl oz (240 - 350 ml) tumbler-like class. Don Draper's (Mad Men TV series) choice of drink.
(1 Sugar Cube, 3 Angostura Bitters, 1 L Club Soda, 2 oz. Rye Whiskey)
Jägerbomb / Perla Negra
1/2 Red Bull + Jägermeister (1/2 oz)
Vodka Martini
The bartender directly knows the reference when you say: "Shaken, not stirred."
The Vodka Martini combines vodka with vermouth and ice, served in a chilled cocktail glass.
The gentleman drink, chosen by James Bond, the drink became an icon for gentlemen around the world.
You can choose a dry Martini (with dry, white vermouth), a dirty Martini (splash of olive juice and garnished with an olive), or a Perfect Martini (equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouth).
Wine
Will you choose a Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, or a Shiraz?
My current choice:
Red Wine - “19 Crimes” - Cabernet Sauvignon - 2018
White Wine - Pinot Grigio delle Venezie 2020 - Canti - Italy
Louis Jadot - 2021 - Pouilly-Fuissé
Cheers!
