Knowledge of taste
by sharing your knowledge of the taste and texture of a drink.
E.g suggesting a light crisp beer or the citrus notes of a particular gin.
Geographical knowledge
offers the guest a sense of escapism in a glass, for example offering
a Jamaican Rum based drink or offering your latest beer from Belgium.
The Mojito (Cuba) and Caipirinha (Brazil) are two great examples of drinks
that have traded off their geographical heritage.
Heritage
can offer a guest an experience by offering a classic cocktail that was first
invested over 100 years ago, or a fine aged cognac that is blended from brandies
of over 20 years old.

31. - Never use crushed ice when shaking.
- Never shake one handed; this can be dangerous and
looks unprofessional.
- Don’t shake with the mixing glass facing the ground or
the customer.
- Don’t over-shake a drink; too much dilution can make
a drink bland, flat and watery.
- Conversely not shaking a drink properly may not chill
the drink enough or mix the ingredients well enough
32. The principle of muddling
is to ensure that the ingredients
being muddled are crushed properly,
releasing the juices, oils and herb
aromas, and making sure
that all flavours combine.

35. BASE
is the term given for the fundamental
or distinguishing ingredient used in a
cocktail. The base ingredient will
generally be one of the spirit categories
of vodka, gin, whisky, rum, tequila, brandy
and on occasions higher strength liqueurs
(30–40%). In the majority of cocktails the
base can also be substituted for another
spirit, these are noted as variations.
MODIFIERS
characterize the cocktail and modify the
flavors within the drink. Modern drinks
predominantly use sweet (sugar syrup)
and/or citrus (lemon or lime juice) ingredients
to cut through the alcohol and soften or
enhance the flavors from the base spirit or
liqueur. Other ingredients used to modify
a cocktail include fresh fruit, herbs and spices;
Aromatized wines and bitters; fruit juices,
purées, cordials and syrups; and egg, cream
and sugar.
