Introduction

When you hear the words ldquoSet rsquoem up Joerdquo you betterhave at least a basic knowledge of over 200 of the most

called-for cocktails in your head I say cocktails because a cock-tail is according to Webster ldquoany of various alcoholic drinksmade of a distilled liquor mixed with a wine fruit juice etcand usually icedrdquo

In this book I show you how to prepare and serve cocktailsYoursquoll find all the recipes you need to mix cocktails for yourguests I show you the correct equipment to use and help youset up for parties Whatrsquos more I also provide an excellentbackground on liquors wine and beer

About This BookThis book is a reference that you can read now and refer tomany years from now Donrsquot feel at all compelled to read thething from cover to cover I would guess that yoursquoll mostly usethis book for recipes and the best place to find them is the Ato Z recipe section (Chapter 17) which is by far the largestsection of the book Drinks are also listed by their ingredientsin the index

This book has a complete table of contents and another indexof topics Feel free to use both to find whatever informationyou need

Foolish AssumptionsYou donrsquot need any special knowledge of liquor or mixology tounderstand this book Having an interest in creating crowd-pleasing cocktails is definitely a plus and having the patienceto get recipes just right doesnrsquot hurt either Good bartendersare always trying new things in the interest of serving thetastiest beverages

03_05056x introqxp 83106 755 PM Page 1

A bartender cannot be made overnight though and a headfull of recipes and facts will get you only so far You need expe-rience and you must respect and like people If you arenrsquot apeople person all the great information in this book wonrsquotmake you a bartender

As a bartender for over 20 years I always enjoyed the atmos-phere and people in bars and restaurants They are there torelax and have fun My job was to serve and be a part of theentertainment to make the guests feel at home and relaxednever to be overbearing or intruding So a good attitude and alot of experience are key From here on in Irsquom going to assumethat you have the former and are working on the latter Yoursquorea good person especially because you bought this book

How This Book Is OrganizedLike all For Dummies books this book is organized into partsand chapters Each chapter is self-contained so that you donrsquothave to read them in order Feel free to skip around Herersquoswhatrsquos in each of the bookrsquos four parts

Part I The BasicsIn this part I describe the bartending tools and glasses youneed I also cover some simple bartending techniques thatwill help you look like a pro I tell you what you need to buy toprepare for a party and I conclude this part with all kinds ofinteresting alcohol- and bartending-related tables and charts

Part II Short Shots from AmericanWhiskey to WineI devote a chapter to each of the major kinds of liquor I tellyou where they come from how theyrsquore made and how tostore and serve them If you wonder what gin is made of seeChapter 10 Why does Scotch whisky have that smoky flavorCheck out Chapter 13

Bartending For Dummies 3rd Edition 2

03_05056x introqxp 83106 755 PM Page 2

Part III The RecipesThe first chapter in this part Chapter 17 contains over a thou-sand cocktail recipes listed in alphabetical order by name Thischapter contains classic cocktails from years past plus thehot cocktails of today and the future Chapter 18 presents afew dozen trendy and interesting ldquomartinisrdquo and if that werenrsquotenough the remaining chapters in this part show you how tomake punches and nonalcoholic drinks

Part IV The Part of TensEvery For Dummies book ends with lists of ten-plus items andthis book is no exception Chapter 21 contains roughly tencures for hiccups and hangovers Chapter 22 lists many morethan ten bartending-related Web sites and other resources

The IndexesThis book has two indexes an index of cocktails by their mainingredient and an index of topics The cocktail index is simplyanother way of finding a drink in this book if you donrsquot knowits name The topics index can help you find information inchapters other than the ones in Part III

Icons Used in This BookScattered throughout the book are little pictures which mypublisher calls icons in the margins next to certain blocks oftext Herersquos what they mean

This icon lets you know that Irsquom presenting a neat hint or trickthat can make your life easier

This icon flags information that will keep you out of trouble

This icon indicates that Irsquom about to tell a story or provide alittle interesting background information

Introduction 3

03_05056x introqxp 83106 755 PM Page 3

I use this symbol in Part III to indicate classic drinks thatevery bartender should know

Where to Go from HereLook up some recipes Read about Irish whiskey Check outone of my hangover cures This book was designed so thatyou can jump around

When it comes to the recipes I do have this bit of advice I rec-ommend that you use only the best ingredients when makingcocktails They represent your opinion of your guests and youwant them to have the best In some drinks you can get bywith the cheap stuff but in this day and age people are drink-ing less and demanding higher quality You canrsquot go wrongwhen you serve the good stuff so why serve anything else

That said get reading and start pouring

The Basic ToolsThe most important assets for any profession are the righttools You need basic bar tools to mix serve and store yourdrinks Whether yoursquore stocking a home bar or working as aprofessional your basic tools are a wine opener cocktailshaker measuring glass and strainer

Wine openerThe best wine opener is a waiterrsquos wine opener (shown inFigure 1-1) It has a sharp blade a corkscrew (also known asa worm) and a bottle opener This wine opener can be foundin most liquor stores or bar supply houses

05_05056x ch01qxp 83106 754 PM Page 7

Another nifty wine opener is called a Rabbit Itrsquos also shown inFigure 1-1

Figure 1-1 A waiterrsquos wine opener and a Rabbit

Cocktail shakerFigure 1-2 shows two types of shakers The Boston shaker isthe one that most professional bartenders use It consists of amixing glass and a stainless steel core that overlaps the glassThe Standard shaker usually consists of two or more stainlesssteel or glass parts and can be found in department stores orantiques stores Many of these shakers come in differentshapes and designs

StrainerA couple of different types of strainers are available butthe most popular is the Hawthorn shown in Figure 1-3The Hawthorn is a flat spoon-shaped utensil with a springcoil around its head You can use it on top of a steel shakeror a bar glass to strain cocktails

Other toolsMany of the following tools are shown in Figure 1-4

Bar spoon A long spoon for stirring cocktails

Blender Many types of commercial or home blenderswith various speeds are available When making a drinkalways put liquid in the blender before switching it onThis will save your blade Some blenders (but not all) canbe used to make crushed ice Check with the manufac-turer or buy an ice crusher

Coasters or bar napkins Coasters prevent rings fromdeveloping on your bar and other tables Napkins alsohelp your guests hold their drinks

Ice bucket Pick one thatrsquos large enough to hold at leastthree trays of ice

I have a few things to say about some of the glasses shown inFigure 1-5

Shot glass You can also use the shot glass as a measur-ing tool Itrsquos a must for every bar

Cocktail or martini glass Perfect for martinis Manhattansstingers and many other classic drinks this glass is avail-able in 3 to 6 oz sizes

White wine glass This glass is available in 5 to 10 ozsizes I advise you to stick with the smaller wine glass

Red wine glass This glass is also available in 5 to 10 ozsizes Note that the bowl is wider than the bowl of awhite wine glass allowing the wine to breathe

Champagne glass The bowl is tapered to prevent bub-bles from escaping

Rocks glass Also known as an old-fashioned glass sizesvary from 5 to 10 oz Use the 5 or 6 oz variety and addplenty of ice

Highball and Collins glasses These glasses are the mostversatile Sizes range from 8 to 12 oz

Cordial glass In addition to cordials you can also usethis glass to serve straight-up drinks

Brandy or cognac snifter Available in a wide range ofsizes the short stemmed large bowl should be cuppedin hand to warm the brandy or cognac

Stemless glasses These glasses have become popular inrecent years probably because they look elegant even ifthey arenrsquot as practical as the stemmed versions

If yoursquore planning on creating a bar at home or serving cock-tails at a party keep your glass selection small You can sim-plify by using two types of glasses a white wine glass and ared wine glass Both are shown in Figure 1-5 These twoglasses can be used for every type of cocktail (includingshots even though I said that a shot glass is essential forevery bar) plus beer and wine Also if you use these two glassshapes cleaning and storing your glasses is less complicated

Conjuring up some bar syrup

Making good cocktails takes more effort than just pour-ing ingredients into a glass This chapter shows you

how to pull off some of the little touches that make both youand your drinks look better with the ultimate result of hap-pier guests

Cutting FruitMany drinks require fruit garnishes Your guests expect thegarnish so you canrsquot forgo it and you have to do it wellPresentation counts big time You may mix the best drinks onthe planet but if they donrsquot look good when you serve themno onersquos going to want to drink them

Lemon twistsFigure 2-1 illustrates the procedure for cutting lemon twists

Shaking a DrinkThe main reasons for shaking drinks are to chill a cocktailmix ingredients or put a head on some cocktails

As a general rule you should shake all cloudy drinks (includ-ing cream drinks and sours) and you should stir all cleardrinks Never shake a cocktail that has carbonated water orsoda For some drinks such as the stinger or martini askyour guests whether they prefer them shaken or stirred

To shake a cocktail in a Boston shaker follow these steps

1 Put some ice cubes (if called for in the recipe) in theglass container

2 Add the cocktail ingredients

3 Place the metal container over the glass container

4 Hold the metal and glass containers together withboth hands and shake with an up and down motion

Make sure that you always point the shaker away from yourguests This way you avoid spilling anything on them if theshaker isnrsquot properly sealed

The two pieces of the shaker may stick together after youshake a drink Never bang the shaker against the bar or anyother object instead gently tap it three or four times at thepoint where the glass and metal containers come in contact

When pouring or straining the cocktail always pour from theglass container

Opening Wine and ChampagneBottles

Opening bottles doesnrsquot take much skill just a little practiceItrsquos a no-brainer task so if you donrsquot get it right yoursquoll look likea fool

Wine bottlesTo open a wine bottle you want to use a waiterrsquos openerwhich I show you in Chapter 1 Then go through these num-bered steps

1 Using the blade on the opener cut the lead foil or cap-sule at the middle of the bulge near the bottle neck

2 Remove the foil and wipe the bottle top with a cloth toremove any mold or foreign particles

3 Line up the screw or worm directly over the bottleand with gentle downward pressure screw the wormclockwise into the cork

Donrsquot break the end of the cork and screw in justenough to extract the cork

4 Attach the lever of the opener to the lip on top of thebottle and while holding the bottle firmly slowly liftthe cork straight up

5 Wipe the neck of the bottle

6 Present the cork to your guest and pour one ounce ofwine into his or her glass

Part I The Basics 20

06_05056x ch02qxp 83106 754 PM Page 20

If the wine is to your guestrsquos satisfaction pour more Keepyour towel handy to wipe the neck of the bottle as you pourthe wine for other guests

Champagne and sparkling wine bottlesYou donrsquot use a corkscrew when opening sparkling wine bottles

1 Remove the wine hood and foil capsule

2 Hold the bottle at an angle and point it away from youand anyone else (and anything valuable)

3 While holding the cork in one hand twist the bottlewith the other hand and gently remove the corkRemember twist the bottle not the cork

4 Just before the cork is about to pop place a bar towelover the cork and bottle and loosen it the rest of theway (The towel will catch the cork and prevent thecork from becoming a UFO)

Keep another towel handy in case the bottle bubbles overafter you remove the cork To avoid the bubbling donrsquot shakethe bottle before opening

Making Simple SyrupSeveral cocktail recipes call for simple syrup To make it dis-solve one part sugar in one part boiling water and reduce themixture over low heat stirring frequently until it thickens Itshouldnrsquot take more than a couple minutes

Purchasing the right products

Knowing when you have enough

When doing any sort of entertaining one of the biggesthassles is trying to figure how to set up your bar and

how much liquor you need to buy If you throw parties all thetime or if yoursquore trying to plan just one big party this chaptercan help

Some Logistical AdviceBefore I get into what to buy and how much to buy Irsquod like toprovide some tips on how to set up a bar

Directing traffic flowKeep the bar as far as possible from your food and snacksThis prevents large groups of people from staying in one areaIf possible base a wine and beer bar in one area and a cocktailbar in another

Keeping your bar in or near the kitchenCleaning up spills is much easier in your kitchen Whatrsquosmore you do less running around when yoursquore close to thesink and refrigerator If you have to set up your bar in another

07_05056x ch03qxp 83106 752 PM Page 23

location put a small rug or cloth under and behind the bar toprotect the floor or carpet And no matter where your bar isuse a strong steady table to avoid tipping or collapsing

Serving smartlyYour party will run smoothly and your guests will be happy ifyou take the following suggestions to heart

Use nothing larger than a shot glass for shots and donrsquotserve doubles to your guests You arenrsquot doing anyoneany favors by overserving If a recipe calls for 11frasl2 oz ofvodka use just that amount No mixed drink shouldexceed 2 oz of liquor

Use lower proof products if theyrsquore available (SeeChapter 5 for an explanation of proof)

Have punch available for those ldquolightrdquo drinkers

Have alcohol-free drinks available including coffee and tea

Use only clean fresh ice and fresh fruit

If possible chill glasses and donrsquot put them out until fiveminutes before the party begins

When serving hot drinks make sure that the cups orglasses have handles

Use a scoop tongs or a large spoon to serve ice Neveruse your hands

If you donrsquot have bottle pourers rub wax paper over thetip of liquor bottles to prevent dripping

Close the bar one to one-and-a-half hours before the endof the party

If possible hire a professional bartender

What You Need to BuyWhen setting up your home bar always use popular namebrands These brands arenrsquot always the most expensive butthey tend to be the most recognizable

BourbonBourbon is the best known and probably the most popularwhiskey produced in the United States It has an amber colorand a slightly sweet flavor By law straight bourbon must bemade from at least 51 percent corn and it must be aged inbrand new charred oak barrels for at least two yearsAlthough Tennessee whiskey doesnrsquot have to be made thisway both Tennessee distilleries mdash George Dickel and JackDanielrsquos mdash also follow these guidelines After aging only pure

Part II Short Shots from American Whiskey to Wine 44

Some alcohol-related jargonWhen you read about the production of alcoholic beverages you see termslike proof and distillation thrown around Herersquos what they mean

Proof is the strength of an alcoholic beverage In the United States the scaleis 200 degrees with each degree equal to 05 percent alcohol by volume Soa 100-proof spirit is 50 percent alcohol A 200-proof spirit is after-shave or 100percent alcohol

Distillation is the process of converting a liquid by heating it into a gas orvapor which is then condensed back into a liquid form In the case of liquorproduction the liquid is a blend of ingredients that have been fermented sothat it contains some alcohol When you heat this liquid the alcohol it con-tains vaporizes first (because alcohol has a lower boiling point than saywater) So the vapor thatrsquos trapped and later condensed back into a liquid hasa much higher alcohol content than the original liquid Distillation is usuallyperformed by a still There are two basic types

The pot still A copper or copper-lined vessel with a large bottom and along tapered neck connected by a copper pipe to a cooling spiral tubewhich is the condenser As the liquid boils it evaporates The vapor risesup to the condenser cools and returns back to a liquid state with alcoholOften this process is repeated to achieve the right alcohol level

The continuous still Also known as a column still patent still and Coffeystill the continuous still has tall copper columns that continually trickleliquid down over many steam-producing plates The vapor is drawn intovents and condensed A continuous still performs under the same princi-ples as a pot still but can work with a constant flow of materials comingin and going out which is great for mass production

A little historySettlers on the east coast of North America began makingrye whiskey in the 1700s They were mostly immigrants fromScotland England and Northern Ireland and werenrsquot familiarwith corn In the 1790s when the US government imposed atax on distilled spirits the whiskey makers of Pennsylvaniarevolted culminating in the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794President Washington called out federal troops to put downthe rebellion and many distillers fled west to Kentuckywhere the law wasnrsquot imposed quite so strictly

In Kentucky early settlers had already begun making whiskeyfrom corn and the newcomers quickly learned how to use thisAmerican grain to make what would be known as bourbon Itsname came about because it was shipped from Bourbon Countyin Kentucky down to places such as St Louis and New Orleanswhere it soon became known as ldquowhiskey from Bourbonrdquo andeventually bourbon whiskey

A variety of cordials and liqueurs

Serving suggestions

meal beverages Cordials and liqueurs have a variety of pur-poses Some are great mixers others are good after-dinnerdrinks and a few make good apeacuteritifs as well Go figure

Apeacuteritifs Great Ways to WhetYour Appetite

Apeacuteritif comes from the Latin word aperire meaning to openAn apeacuteritif is usually any type of drink you would have before ameal Most apeacuteritifs are usually low in alcohol and mild tasting

You can drink many of the cordials and liqueurs listed later inthis chapter as apeacuteritifs as well I donrsquot have much more tosay about apeacuteritifs other than to talk about the individualproducts that are available such as the following

Amer Picon (French) A blend of African oranges gen-tian root quinine bark and some alcohol Usually servedwith club soda or seltzer water with lemon

Part II Short Shots from American Whiskey to Wine 52

11_05056x ch06qxp 83106 753 PM Page 52

Cordials are made by infusing the flavor of fruits herbs spicesand other plants with a spirit such as brandy or whiskey Asyoursquoll discover from the list later in this chapter cordials comein many different varieties Most are sweet In fact cordials soldin the United States contain up to 35 percent sugar and mustcontain a minimum of 25 percent sugar by weight

Within the cordial category are cregravemes and fruit-flavoredbrandies Cregravemes have a high sugar content which makesthem well creamy Usually the name of such a cordial indi-cates what it tastes like Cregraveme de banana tastes like bananasand apricot brandy tastes like apricots

There are more cordials in the world than any one personcan list What I try to do here is describe the ones that yoursquorelikely to see in the recipes in this book Someone somewhereprobably makes a soy-sauce-and-aloe-flavored cordial andmaybe it tastes great but nobody I know is ever going to askfor it so Irsquom not going to list it Instead I give you the followingcommon cordials

BeerIn This Chapter Mixing and mashing corn grits and malt

Knowing the lineup of beer types

Avoiding the sun and keeping it cool

Basically beer is an alcoholic beverage thatrsquos fermented and brewed from rice barley corn hops water and yeast

Beer has been brewed for thousands of years beginning withthe Egyptians Today thousands of different varieties of beer areenjoyed throughout the world The United States has more than900 microbrews (made by small independent brewers) aloneGermany brags of having over 1200 breweries

Beer enjoys the distinction of coming to the Americas on the Mayflower and in fact seems to have played a part in the Pilgrimsrsquo decision to land at Plymouth Rock instead of farther south as intended A journal written by one of the passengers mdash which is now in the US Library of Congress mdashstates in an entry from 1620 that the Mayflower landed atPlymouth because ldquowe could not now take time for furthersearch or consideration our victuals being much spent espe-cially our beer rdquo

The first commercial brewery in America was founded in NewAmsterdam (New York City) in 1613 Many patriots owned theirown breweries among them General Israel Putnam and WilliamPenn Thomas Jefferson was also interested in brewing andmade beer at Monticello George Washington even had hisown brew house on the grounds of Mount Vernon and hishandwritten recipe for beer mdash dated 1757 and taken fromhis diary mdash is still preserved

12_05056x ch07qxp 83106 753 PM Page 61

How Beer Is MadeThe beer brewing process begins with pure water corn gritsand malted barley Malted barley is the basic ingredient andis often referred to as the ldquosoul of beerrdquo It contributes to thecolor and characteristic flavor of beer What does maltedmean It means that the barley has been steeped or soakedin water and allowed to germinate or grow Brewing beer is astep-by-step process

1 The corn grits and malt are cooked and blended tocreate mash

2 A sugary liquid called wort is extracted from themash (The remaining solid portion of the mash thebrewerrsquos grain is sold as feed)

3 The wort is transferred to the brew kettles where itrsquosboiled and hops are added Hops are responsible forthe rich aroma and the delicate bitterness in beer

4 The wort then moves to the wort cooler

5 Yeast which converts sugar into alcohol and carbondioxide and sterile air are added next and the wortmoves to fermentation tanks for a carefully controlledtime period

Two different types of yeast can be used bottom and top

Bottom yeast settles to the bottom of the tank after con-verting all the sugar and the resulting beer is a lager

Top yeast rises to the top of the tank when itrsquos done withthe sugar and the beer it produces is an ale

Types of BeerYoursquove probably seen some of the following terms on beerlabels or maybe yoursquove heard them in beer commercials

Ale is top-fermented beer Itrsquos a little bitter usually tasteshoppy and has a higher alcohol content

Part II Short Shots from American Whiskey to Wine 62

12_05056x ch07qxp 83106 753 PM Page 62

Bitter beer is a strong ale usually English with a higherthan normal alcohol content and as the name implies abittersweet taste

Bock beer is a dark strong slightly sweet lager beerbrewed from caramelized malt

Ice beer is brewed at colder than normal temperaturesand then chilled to below freezing forming crystals Thecrystals are filtered out leaving a smoother tasting beerwith a slightly higher alcohol content

Lager is a bottom-fermented beer stored at very low(cold) temperatures for a long period of time (severalmonths) The word lager is German for to store

Lambic beer is brewed in Belgium Ingredients such aspeaches raspberries cherries and wheat are addedduring the brewing process

Light beer has fewer calories and less alcohol

Malt liquor is fermented at a higher temperature thanother beers which results in a higher alcohol content

Pilsner is a light hoppy dry lager

Sake is beer brewed and processed from rice (Some consider sake a wine) Sake is served warm or at roomtemperature

Stout is an ale produced from heavily roasted barley Itrsquosdarker in color and has a slightly bitter flavor

Trappist beer is brewed in Belgium or the Netherlands byTrappist monks It contains high levels of alcohol and isusually dark in color

Wheat beer is made as you might expect with wheat Itrsquosusually garnished with a lemon and sometimes raspberrysyrup

Storing and Serving SuggestionsIn the United States beer is served cold (40 degreesFahrenheit) Lower temperatures tend to dull the taste soconsider 40 degrees the lower limit Store beer away from sunlight or yoursquoll have skunked beer which is never pleasant

Cognac and ArmagnacIn This Chapter Finding out about where theyrsquore made

Deciphering the designations on labels

What the well-known brands are

Finishing a meal with a warm drink

France produces two kinds of brandy cognac and arma-gnac Both are named after the region in which theyrsquore

made and both are delicious

CognacCognac can be produced only in the legally defined regionof Cognac France located between the Atlantic and MassifCentral specifically at the junction between the oceanic andcontinental climate zones The region also straddles the divid-ing line between northern and southern climates These fourinfluences create a multitude of microclimates In addition tothe unique climate the soil characteristics also foster a rangeof wine and consequently the cognac of each region In 1909the French government passed a law that only brandy producedin the ldquodelimited areardquo surrounding the town of Cognac can becalled cognac

How itrsquos madeThe arduous time-honored distilling and aging process iswhat makes cognac so special The cognac you drink today

14_05056x ch09qxp 83106 753 PM Page 69

was produced using methods dating back to the 17th centuryThe distillation of cognac is a two-stage process

1 A first distillate known as brouillis is obtained withan alcoholic strength of 28 to 32 percent

2 The brouillis is returned to the boiler for a secondheating which produces a liquid known as la bonnechauffe In this second distillation the beginning andthe end of distillation (the head and tail) are discardedleaving only the heart of the spirit which becomescognac

The cognac is then sent to rest in oak casks made from woodfrom the Limousin and Troncais forests

Maturing slowly over long years in cellars the cognac acquiresa smoothness and flavor beyond compare The wood and thedark saturated atmosphere of the cellars work together todevelop the aroma of the cognac to its full potential Allcognac is aged a minimum of 30 months

What are all those letters onthe labelWhen you shop for cognac you see all kinds of designationson the labels of various brands mdash for example CourvoisierVS Martell VSOP and Remy Martin XO The letters andphrases after the brand name are a general indication of theage (and in turn expensiveness) of the cognac

Every major brand produces cognacs of different ages Whenone of the following designations is used it indicates the ageof the youngest cognac used in the blend that makes upwhatrsquos in the bottle

VS (Very Superior) or Three Stars The cognac is agedless than 41frasl2 years

VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) The cognac has agedbetween 41frasl2 and 61frasl2 years Sometimes called VO (VeryOld) or Reserve

XO (Extremely Old) Napoleon Hors drsquoage VSSOPCordon Bleu Grand Reserve and Royal The cognachas aged at least 51frasl2 years and up to 40 years

Generally speaking each cognac producer uses blends thatare much older than the minimum required In the most pres-tigious cognacs some of the blends may have matured overseveral decades

Yoursquore also going to see some of these names on the labels

Grand Fine Champagne or Grande Champagne Theseidentify cognacs made exclusively from grapes grown inthe Grande Champagne region of Cognac

Petite Fine Champagne or Petite Champagne Thesenames mean that the cognac is a blend made from grapesgrown in the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagnesections of Cognac At least 50 percent of the blend mustbe from grapes grown in the Grande Champagne Region

The terms fine cognac and grande fine which may also appearon cognac labels have no legally defined meaning The desig-nations extra old (EO) and very old pale (VOP) are not offi-cially recognized by the Bureau du Cognac which makes upall the names and rules

You wonrsquot see vintage dates on cognac labels because in 1963the French passed a law prohibiting the placement of vintagelabels on cognac bottles Go figure

Popular brandsEven though all cognacs are produced in the same region andeven though every brand seems to have the same jumble of agedesignations on their labels you may be surprised at the degreeof distinctiveness among the brands Some brands have a strongroom-filling aroma some have a mild grape flavor others have

The Irish have been distilling whiskey for at least 600 yearsif not longer While itrsquos safe to say that Irish whiskey has a

distinct character itrsquos also equally true to say that each brandof Irish whiskey is a unique product

What Makes Irish Whiskey Taste So Yummy

Irish whiskey is triple distilled from barley and other grains inpot stills and aged between five and ten years One major dif-ference between Scotch and Irish whiskey is that when dryingthe barley malt from which the whiskey is to be distilled theIrish use coal instead of peat which prevents the smokyflavor found in Scotch whisky

Whatrsquos more Irish whiskey also gains a great deal of flavorfrom the casks in which itrsquos aged Depending on the brandIrish whiskey is aged in casks that have held sherry rum orbourbon

For centuries the Irish produced an illegal distilled spiritcalled potcheen (po-cheen) a colorless unaged spirit thatrsquoshigh in alcohol content and similar to white lightning in thesouthern United States But as of March 17 1997 itrsquos legal andbeing produced and sold in Ireland and the rest of the world

Rum is a spirit distilled from sugar cane It comes in lightand dark varieties and is an ingredient in hundreds of

cocktail recipes

Rummaging through Rum History

Caribbean rum has been exported out of the islands for hun-dreds of years linked to the tropical and subtropical climateswhere sugar cane thrives It was Christopher Columbus him-self who first brought sugar cane to the Caribbean from theAzores But the origins of rum are far more ancient datingback most experts say more than 2000 years

Sugar cane grew like a weed in parts of southern China andIndia and Alexander the Great after conquering Indiabrought with him to Egypt ldquothe weed that gives honey withoutthe help of beesrdquo The Islamic people from the Middle Agesknown as the Saracens passed on their knowledge of distillingsugar cane to the Moors who made arak a cane-based proto-rum and planted sugar cane in Europe sometime after 636 AD

17_05056x ch12qxp 83106 753 PM Page 83

Columbus brought sugar cane to Puerto Rico on his secondvoyage in 1493 Later Ponce de Leoacuten the first Spanish gover-nor of the island planted the first cane fields in Puerto Ricowhich were soon to become vital to the local economy and tothe worldrsquos palate for fine spirits Some historians speculatethat Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos legendary search for a mythical fountainof youth was in fact a much more practical search for asource of pure water to use in his distillation of rum

The first sugar mill a precursor to the Puerto Rican rumindustry was built in 1524 when the product of cane distilla-tion was called brebaje the word rum being a later additionbrought by crusading English seamen

The popularity of rum continued to spread during the early19th century Distilleries prospered and grew in Puerto RicoIn 1893 the first modern column still was introduced toPuerto Rico With this innovation the foundation was laid forthe island to produce a more refined smoother-tasting rum ata dramatically increased pace Distilleries relocated from vastoutlying sugar plantations to more accessible sites and soonbecame centrally organized and managed The first PuertoRican rum for export to the continental US was shipped in1897 mdash some 18000 gallons

During the prohibition period of the US most Puerto Ricanrum distillers stayed in business mdash not by being rumrunnersbut by producing industrial alcohol When prohibition endedin 1934 Puerto Rico refocused on the potential of the Americanliquor market and slowly began to rebuild its shipments toUS ports It soon took steps to upgrade its rum productionand through special government funding and research cata-pulted the islandrsquos rum to the forefront of the worldrsquos rum production

With the onset of World War II manufacturers of US distilledspirits were ordered to limit their production and manufac-ture of industrial alcohol for the war effort However becausethe territorial mandate didnrsquot apply to Puerto Rico demandfor Puerto Rican rum increased Sales were phenomenalthroughout the war years with rum and Coke being thenational drink during World War II In 1952 about 100 differentbrands of Puerto Rican Rum were on the market Today thereare just 12

Scotch WhiskyIn This Chapter Regional variations

Peat and barley A match made in heaven

How to savor your Scotch

Scotch whisky (spelled without the e in whiskey) has a dis-tinctive smoky flavor thatrsquos the result of both the choice

of ingredients and the method of distillation

Scotch whisky must be distilled in Scotland mdash but not neces-sarily bottled in Scotland Some Scotch whiskies are bottled inother countries but distilled in Scotland

Types of Scotch WhiskyTwo kinds of Scotch whisky are distilled malt whisky (frombarley) and grain whisky (from cereals) Malt whiskies aredivided into four groups according to the geographical loca-tion of the distilleries in which theyrsquore made Figure 13-1shows the four main areas of Scotch production

Lowland malt whiskies Made south of an imaginary linedrawn from Dundee in the east to Greenock in the west

Highland malt whiskies Made north of the aforemen-tioned line

Speyside malt whiskies Made in the valley of the RiverSpey Although these whiskies come from within the areadesignated as Highland malt whiskies the concentration

18_05056x ch13qxp 83106 754 PM Page 89

of distilleries and the specific climatic conditions inSpeyside produce whiskies of an identifiable characterwhich enjoys a separate classification

Each group has its own clearly defined characteristics rang-ing from the lighter-flavored gentle Lowland whiskies to thosedistilled on Islay which are generally regarded as the heaviestmalt whiskies

Grain distilleries are mostly found in the central belt of Scotlandnear the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh Single grain whiskiesdisplay individual characteristics in the same way as maltsalthough the geographical influence isnrsquot the same

Married together malt whiskies and grain whiskies createblended Scotch whisky which accounts for 95 percent ofworld sales As you may expect from the name a single-maltScotch whisky is made from one type of malt and itrsquos notblended with other malts or grain whiskies

How Scotch Is MadeScotch whisky made from malts dates back to 1494 to FriarJohn Cor and his fellow friars Until the mid-1800s nearly allScotches were single-malt Then Andrew Usher came up withthe idea of mixing malt whisky and grain whisky to createblended Scotch whisky There can be many (up to 50) differ-ent types of malt whiskies blended with grain whisky (fromcereals) to make a blended whisky

1 The first stage of making Scotch whisky is the malting ofbarley The barley is soaked and dried for germinationDuring this period the starch in the barley converts tofermentable sugar

2 To stop the germination the malted barley is smokedusually over peat fires in open malt kilns giving Scotchwhisky its smoky taste

3 Then the barley is mixed with water and yeastFermentation takes place and alcohol is the resultThis liquid is then usually pumped into stills anddouble-distilled until the correct proof is attained

4 After distillation the whisky is placed in used Americanoak wine or bourbon barrels and then aged by law for aminimum of three years Most Scotch whiskies usuallyage from five to ten years sometimes much longer Itrsquossaid that the longer a whisky ages the smoother itbecomes

Whisky doesnrsquot improve with age after itrsquos bottled

After aging in the barrel each distiller then completes its ownblending filtering and bottling There are more than 100 dis-tilleries and more than 2000 different Scotch whiskies

Remember whisky can only be called Scotch whisky if itrsquos dis-tilled and matured for at least three years in Scotland

Messinrsquo with MezcalThe process of making mezcal hasnrsquot changed much since theSpanish arrived in Mexico in the early 1800s and brought withthem distillation technologies The Aztecs near the mountaintopsettlement of Monte Alban in Oaxaca had cultivated a certainspecies of agave plant for juice which they fermented intowhat they called pulque The Spaniards wanting somethingmuch more potent began to experiment with agave

Mezcal like tequila is made from the agave plant but theprocess is different Whatrsquos more while tequila is made exclusively in the northwestern state of Jalisco mezcalis exclusive to Oaxaca

Mezcal has a high potency and strong smoky flavor Distillersinsist that the drink has medicinal and tonic qualities In Mexicotribal women drink mezcal to withstand the pain of childbirthand laborers drink it for added strength

The famous wormWorms live in the agave plant and are hand-harvested duringthe rainy summer season Theyrsquore stored in mezcal drainedand sorted and placed in bottles near the end of the processThe worm is what makes mezcal unique itrsquos added as areminder that it comes from the plant from which the alcoholis made

Apocryphal legends note that the worm gives strength toanyone brave enough to gulp it down Some even believeit acts as an aphrodisiac Like the drink itself the worm issomething of an acquired taste

A few brandsThe number of mezcal brands is much smaller than thenumber of tequila brands Here are a few

The type of grape determines the type of wine and only cer-tain types of grapes grow in certain climates To make matterseven more complicated the soil of a particular region plays abig role in how its grapes will turn out So while the climate incertain regions of California and France may be perfect forsay chardonnay grapes the soil in those regions affects thegrapes to the point that the resulting wines from each regionare different

Sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France iscalled of course champagne It is made with a mix of differentgrapes (including pinot noir pinot meunier and chardonnay)through a process called meacutethod champenoise which is quitecostly and time-consuming Sparkling wines from other placesin the world are made in different ways with different grapesBut you can find sparkling wines from places such as Californiathat are made using the meacutethod champenoise

Champagne and other sparkling wines should be stored in acool dark place away from heat light vibrations and severetemperature variations Unlike the best wines from Bordeauxor California sparkling wines are ready for consumption whentheyrsquore shipped to the market However some wine-loversalso enjoy cellaring their champagnes for a few extra years

Before serving chill the wine well but donrsquot freeze itPlacing the bottle in a bucket filled with ice and water for30 to 40 minutes is the best way to chill champagne You canalso chill a bottle by refrigerating it for several hours butdonrsquot keep bottles in the fridge for extended periods of timeThe excessive cold and the vibration of the motor will causethe flavor to go a little flat

Champagne is best served in tall flute or tulip glasses at atemperature of 42 to 47 degrees Fahrenheit Tiny bubbleswill rise in a continuous stream When serving pour a smallquantity of champagne into each glass and allow it to settleThen fill each glass two-thirds full

Mai Tai Out of this worldVic Bergeron invented the Mai Tai in 1944 at his Polynesian-style Oakland barHe didnrsquot want fruit juices detracting from the two ounces of J Wray NephewJamaican rum he poured as the base for his creation He merely added a halfounce of French orgeat (an almond-flavored syrup) a half ounce of orange cura-cao a quarter ounce of rock candy syrup and the juice of one lime CustomerCarrie Wright of Tahiti the first to taste the concoction responded ldquoMai tai roe aerdquo (Tahitian for ldquoOut of this world the bestrdquo)

The Mai Tai became famous and conflicting stories about its origins aggra-vated Bergeron so much that he elicited a sworn statement from Mrs Wrightin 1970 testifying to his authorship of the cocktail

ldquoMartinirdquo MadnessIn This Chapter Following the latest trend

Mixing a few martinis

Whatrsquos with all the martinis these days I get new recipessubmitted to me all the time and every day I hear

about these trendy new martinis that look like nothing morethan pink Kool-Aid in a dressed-up cocktail glass

The truth of the matter is that a real martini is simply a coupleounces of ice-cold gin (or vodka if gin isnrsquot your thing) with adash of vermouth Some people like more or less vermouththan others (or none at all) and some people prefer an oliveor a twist of lemon or even a pearl onion for a garnish Butthatrsquos really about it when it comes to martini variations as faras Irsquom concerned

Ultimately the martinis in this chapter are just cocktails likeany other but theyrsquore called martinis because theyrsquore servedin a martini glass Itrsquos trendy In a few years something elsewill be trendy At one time people drank cocktails with raweggs in them because they were popular Tab and Fresca usedto be popular In five years something else will be popularWhat are you gonna do

So anyway I tried to pick out around 30 interesting or trendyldquomartinisrdquo that actually taste good and are worth drinkingEnjoy

Chapter 21

At Least Ten Cures and Lores

In This Chapter Getting rid of your hiccups

What to do if you have a hangover

Part of being a bartender is settling arguments mendingbroken hearts and curing two primary medicinal prob-

lems hiccups and hangovers

HiccupsThe rapid closure of the vocal cords that follows the involun-tary contraction of the diaphragm causes hiccups (When youput it this way hiccups donrsquot seem nearly as embarrassing asmost people consider them) See the list of cures that follows

Slice a lemon and remove the pits Top the slices withsugar and Angostura bitters and eat the whole thingThis is the sure cure

Mix Angostura bitters and club soda and sip slowly

Drink a glass of water backwards This can be a reallywet cure

Hold your nose and breathe through your mouth Thencount to 10 or 20 or count to 100 to be certain

Blow into a paper bag

29_05056x ch21qxp 83106 755 PM Page 317

HangoversCause Take a guess

Cures Only a few cures really work

A little prevention Donrsquot overindulge or let yourself beoverserved (Someone told me once that even in modera-tion I am excessive)

Sleep Drink plenty of fluids (water-based not alcohol-based) Get some peace and quiet

Consider a few more possible cures

Drink two ounces Fernet Branca or Fernet Branca Menta(Italian digestives) on the rocks

Drink one small bottle of Underberg (a German digestive)

From my friends in Puerto Rico (Gere and Linda) rub ahalf of a lemon under each armpit

Drink a bottle of flat beer left out open overnight

Hair of the Dog One shot of whatever you were drinking

Introduction

When you hear the words ldquoSet rsquoem up Joerdquo you betterhave at least a basic knowledge of over 200 of the most

called-for cocktails in your head I say cocktails because a cock-tail is according to Webster ldquoany of various alcoholic drinksmade of a distilled liquor mixed with a wine fruit juice etcand usually icedrdquo

About This BookThis book is a reference that you can read now and refer tomany years from now Donrsquot feel at all compelled to read thething from cover to cover I would guess that yoursquoll mostly usethis book for recipes and the best place to find them is the Ato Z recipe section (Chapter 17) which is by far the largestsection of the book Drinks are also listed by their ingredientsin the index

This book has a complete table of contents and another indexof topics Feel free to use both to find whatever informationyou need

Foolish AssumptionsYou donrsquot need any special knowledge of liquor or mixology tounderstand this book Having an interest in creating crowd-pleasing cocktails is definitely a plus and having the patienceto get recipes just right doesnrsquot hurt either Good bartendersare always trying new things in the interest of serving thetastiest beverages

03_05056x introqxp 83106 755 PM Page 1

A bartender cannot be made overnight though and a headfull of recipes and facts will get you only so far You need expe-rience and you must respect and like people If you arenrsquot apeople person all the great information in this book wonrsquotmake you a bartender

As a bartender for over 20 years I always enjoyed the atmos-phere and people in bars and restaurants They are there torelax and have fun My job was to serve and be a part of theentertainment to make the guests feel at home and relaxednever to be overbearing or intruding So a good attitude and alot of experience are key From here on in Irsquom going to assumethat you have the former and are working on the latter Yoursquorea good person especially because you bought this book

How This Book Is OrganizedLike all For Dummies books this book is organized into partsand chapters Each chapter is self-contained so that you donrsquothave to read them in order Feel free to skip around Herersquoswhatrsquos in each of the bookrsquos four parts

I use this symbol in Part III to indicate classic drinks thatevery bartender should know

Where to Go from HereLook up some recipes Read about Irish whiskey Check outone of my hangover cures This book was designed so thatyou can jump around

When it comes to the recipes I do have this bit of advice I rec-ommend that you use only the best ingredients when makingcocktails They represent your opinion of your guests and youwant them to have the best In some drinks you can get bywith the cheap stuff but in this day and age people are drink-ing less and demanding higher quality You canrsquot go wrongwhen you serve the good stuff so why serve anything else

That said get reading and start pouring

05_05056x ch01qxp 83106 754 PM Page 7

Coasters or bar napkins Coasters prevent rings fromdeveloping on your bar and other tables Napkins alsohelp your guests hold their drinks

Ice bucket Pick one thatrsquos large enough to hold at leastthree trays of ice

I have a few things to say about some of the glasses shown inFigure 1-5

Shot glass You can also use the shot glass as a measur-ing tool Itrsquos a must for every bar

Cocktail or martini glass Perfect for martinis Manhattansstingers and many other classic drinks this glass is avail-able in 3 to 6 oz sizes

White wine glass This glass is available in 5 to 10 ozsizes I advise you to stick with the smaller wine glass

Red wine glass This glass is also available in 5 to 10 ozsizes Note that the bowl is wider than the bowl of awhite wine glass allowing the wine to breathe

Champagne glass The bowl is tapered to prevent bub-bles from escaping

Rocks glass Also known as an old-fashioned glass sizesvary from 5 to 10 oz Use the 5 or 6 oz variety and addplenty of ice

Highball and Collins glasses These glasses are the mostversatile Sizes range from 8 to 12 oz

Cordial glass In addition to cordials you can also usethis glass to serve straight-up drinks

Brandy or cognac snifter Available in a wide range ofsizes the short stemmed large bowl should be cuppedin hand to warm the brandy or cognac

Stemless glasses These glasses have become popular inrecent years probably because they look elegant even ifthey arenrsquot as practical as the stemmed versions

If yoursquore planning on creating a bar at home or serving cock-tails at a party keep your glass selection small You can sim-plify by using two types of glasses a white wine glass and ared wine glass Both are shown in Figure 1-5 These twoglasses can be used for every type of cocktail (includingshots even though I said that a shot glass is essential forevery bar) plus beer and wine Also if you use these two glassshapes cleaning and storing your glasses is less complicated

Conjuring up some bar syrup

Making good cocktails takes more effort than just pour-ing ingredients into a glass This chapter shows you

how to pull off some of the little touches that make both youand your drinks look better with the ultimate result of hap-pier guests

Cutting FruitMany drinks require fruit garnishes Your guests expect thegarnish so you canrsquot forgo it and you have to do it wellPresentation counts big time You may mix the best drinks onthe planet but if they donrsquot look good when you serve themno onersquos going to want to drink them

Lemon twistsFigure 2-1 illustrates the procedure for cutting lemon twists

06_05056x ch02qxp 83106 754 PM Page 15

2 Insert a sharp knife or spoon between the rind andmeat of the lemon and carefully separate them

Shaking a DrinkThe main reasons for shaking drinks are to chill a cocktailmix ingredients or put a head on some cocktails

As a general rule you should shake all cloudy drinks (includ-ing cream drinks and sours) and you should stir all cleardrinks Never shake a cocktail that has carbonated water orsoda For some drinks such as the stinger or martini askyour guests whether they prefer them shaken or stirred

To shake a cocktail in a Boston shaker follow these steps

1 Put some ice cubes (if called for in the recipe) in theglass container

2 Add the cocktail ingredients

3 Place the metal container over the glass container

4 Hold the metal and glass containers together withboth hands and shake with an up and down motion

Make sure that you always point the shaker away from yourguests This way you avoid spilling anything on them if theshaker isnrsquot properly sealed

The two pieces of the shaker may stick together after youshake a drink Never bang the shaker against the bar or anyother object instead gently tap it three or four times at thepoint where the glass and metal containers come in contact

When pouring or straining the cocktail always pour from theglass container

Opening Wine and ChampagneBottles

Opening bottles doesnrsquot take much skill just a little practiceItrsquos a no-brainer task so if you donrsquot get it right yoursquoll look likea fool

Wine bottlesTo open a wine bottle you want to use a waiterrsquos openerwhich I show you in Chapter 1 Then go through these num-bered steps

1 Using the blade on the opener cut the lead foil or cap-sule at the middle of the bulge near the bottle neck

2 Remove the foil and wipe the bottle top with a cloth toremove any mold or foreign particles

3 Line up the screw or worm directly over the bottleand with gentle downward pressure screw the wormclockwise into the cork

Donrsquot break the end of the cork and screw in justenough to extract the cork

4 Attach the lever of the opener to the lip on top of thebottle and while holding the bottle firmly slowly liftthe cork straight up

5 Wipe the neck of the bottle

6 Present the cork to your guest and pour one ounce ofwine into his or her glass

Part I The Basics 20

06_05056x ch02qxp 83106 754 PM Page 20

If the wine is to your guestrsquos satisfaction pour more Keepyour towel handy to wipe the neck of the bottle as you pourthe wine for other guests

Champagne and sparkling wine bottlesYou donrsquot use a corkscrew when opening sparkling wine bottles

1 Remove the wine hood and foil capsule

2 Hold the bottle at an angle and point it away from youand anyone else (and anything valuable)

3 While holding the cork in one hand twist the bottlewith the other hand and gently remove the corkRemember twist the bottle not the cork

4 Just before the cork is about to pop place a bar towelover the cork and bottle and loosen it the rest of theway (The towel will catch the cork and prevent thecork from becoming a UFO)

Keep another towel handy in case the bottle bubbles overafter you remove the cork To avoid the bubbling donrsquot shakethe bottle before opening

Making Simple SyrupSeveral cocktail recipes call for simple syrup To make it dis-solve one part sugar in one part boiling water and reduce themixture over low heat stirring frequently until it thickens Itshouldnrsquot take more than a couple minutes

Setting Up Your Home BarIn This Chapter Aiming to please your guests

Purchasing the right products

Knowing when you have enough

When doing any sort of entertaining one of the biggesthassles is trying to figure how to set up your bar and

how much liquor you need to buy If you throw parties all thetime or if yoursquore trying to plan just one big party this chaptercan help

Some Logistical AdviceBefore I get into what to buy and how much to buy Irsquod like toprovide some tips on how to set up a bar

Directing traffic flowKeep the bar as far as possible from your food and snacksThis prevents large groups of people from staying in one areaIf possible base a wine and beer bar in one area and a cocktailbar in another

Keeping your bar in or near the kitchenCleaning up spills is much easier in your kitchen Whatrsquosmore you do less running around when yoursquore close to thesink and refrigerator If you have to set up your bar in another

07_05056x ch03qxp 83106 752 PM Page 23

location put a small rug or cloth under and behind the bar toprotect the floor or carpet And no matter where your bar isuse a strong steady table to avoid tipping or collapsing

Serving smartlyYour party will run smoothly and your guests will be happy ifyou take the following suggestions to heart

Use nothing larger than a shot glass for shots and donrsquotserve doubles to your guests You arenrsquot doing anyoneany favors by overserving If a recipe calls for 11frasl2 oz ofvodka use just that amount No mixed drink shouldexceed 2 oz of liquor

Use lower proof products if theyrsquore available (SeeChapter 5 for an explanation of proof)

Have punch available for those ldquolightrdquo drinkers

Have alcohol-free drinks available including coffee and tea

Use only clean fresh ice and fresh fruit

If possible chill glasses and donrsquot put them out until fiveminutes before the party begins

When serving hot drinks make sure that the cups orglasses have handles

Use a scoop tongs or a large spoon to serve ice Neveruse your hands

If you donrsquot have bottle pourers rub wax paper over thetip of liquor bottles to prevent dripping

Close the bar one to one-and-a-half hours before the endof the party

If possible hire a professional bartender

What You Need to BuyWhen setting up your home bar always use popular namebrands These brands arenrsquot always the most expensive butthey tend to be the most recognizable

Part I The Basics 24

07_05056x ch03qxp 83106 752 PM Page 24

The approximate cost to set up this bar is between $200 and$250 US dollars using domestic and local brands If yoursquoregoing to use premium brands add 20 to 30 percent

Canadian whisky and wheat and corn whiskies

How Whiskey Is MadeWhiskey is distilled from grain The type of grain or grains useddetermines the type of whiskey After the grain is harvested itrsquosinspected and stored Itrsquos then ground into a meal and cookedto separate the starch malt is added changing the starch tosugar This mash is cooled and pumped into fermenters Yeastis added to the mash and allowed to ferment resulting in a mixture of grain residue water yeast cells and alcohol Thismixture is then pumped into a still where heat vaporizes thealcohol The alcohol vapors are caught cooled condensed anddrawn off This new high-proof spirit is stored in large holdingtanks Water is added to lower the proof and the whiskey isdrawn into barrels The barrels of whiskey are stored in a rackhouse for aging After aging the barrels of whiskey are drainedinto the tanks that feed the bottling line In the case of blendedwhiskey (including Canadian) different whiskies are mixedtogether and the grain spirits or other whiskies are added

BourbonBourbon is the best known and probably the most popularwhiskey produced in the United States It has an amber colorand a slightly sweet flavor By law straight bourbon must bemade from at least 51 percent corn and it must be aged inbrand new charred oak barrels for at least two yearsAlthough Tennessee whiskey doesnrsquot have to be made thisway both Tennessee distilleries mdash George Dickel and JackDanielrsquos mdash also follow these guidelines After aging only pure

Some alcohol-related jargonWhen you read about the production of alcoholic beverages you see termslike proof and distillation thrown around Herersquos what they mean

Proof is the strength of an alcoholic beverage In the United States the scaleis 200 degrees with each degree equal to 05 percent alcohol by volume Soa 100-proof spirit is 50 percent alcohol A 200-proof spirit is after-shave or 100percent alcohol

Distillation is the process of converting a liquid by heating it into a gas orvapor which is then condensed back into a liquid form In the case of liquorproduction the liquid is a blend of ingredients that have been fermented sothat it contains some alcohol When you heat this liquid the alcohol it con-tains vaporizes first (because alcohol has a lower boiling point than saywater) So the vapor thatrsquos trapped and later condensed back into a liquid hasa much higher alcohol content than the original liquid Distillation is usuallyperformed by a still There are two basic types

The pot still A copper or copper-lined vessel with a large bottom and along tapered neck connected by a copper pipe to a cooling spiral tubewhich is the condenser As the liquid boils it evaporates The vapor risesup to the condenser cools and returns back to a liquid state with alcoholOften this process is repeated to achieve the right alcohol level

The continuous still Also known as a column still patent still and Coffeystill the continuous still has tall copper columns that continually trickleliquid down over many steam-producing plates The vapor is drawn intovents and condensed A continuous still performs under the same princi-ples as a pot still but can work with a constant flow of materials comingin and going out which is great for mass production

water can be added to reduce the barrel proof strength to bottling (selling) proof Scotch Canadian whiskies and Irishwhiskies can have added caramel coloring but bourbon canrsquot

A little historySettlers on the east coast of North America began makingrye whiskey in the 1700s They were mostly immigrants fromScotland England and Northern Ireland and werenrsquot familiarwith corn In the 1790s when the US government imposed atax on distilled spirits the whiskey makers of Pennsylvaniarevolted culminating in the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794President Washington called out federal troops to put downthe rebellion and many distillers fled west to Kentuckywhere the law wasnrsquot imposed quite so strictly

In Kentucky early settlers had already begun making whiskeyfrom corn and the newcomers quickly learned how to use thisAmerican grain to make what would be known as bourbon Itsname came about because it was shipped from Bourbon Countyin Kentucky down to places such as St Louis and New Orleanswhere it soon became known as ldquowhiskey from Bourbonrdquo andeventually bourbon whiskey

BeerIn This Chapter Mixing and mashing corn grits and malt

Knowing the lineup of beer types

Avoiding the sun and keeping it cool

Basically beer is an alcoholic beverage thatrsquos fermented and brewed from rice barley corn hops water and yeast

Beer has been brewed for thousands of years beginning withthe Egyptians Today thousands of different varieties of beer areenjoyed throughout the world The United States has more than900 microbrews (made by small independent brewers) aloneGermany brags of having over 1200 breweries

Beer enjoys the distinction of coming to the Americas on the Mayflower and in fact seems to have played a part in the Pilgrimsrsquo decision to land at Plymouth Rock instead of farther south as intended A journal written by one of the passengers mdash which is now in the US Library of Congress mdashstates in an entry from 1620 that the Mayflower landed atPlymouth because ldquowe could not now take time for furthersearch or consideration our victuals being much spent espe-cially our beer rdquo

The first commercial brewery in America was founded in NewAmsterdam (New York City) in 1613 Many patriots owned theirown breweries among them General Israel Putnam and WilliamPenn Thomas Jefferson was also interested in brewing andmade beer at Monticello George Washington even had hisown brew house on the grounds of Mount Vernon and hishandwritten recipe for beer mdash dated 1757 and taken fromhis diary mdash is still preserved

12_05056x ch07qxp 83106 753 PM Page 61

How Beer Is MadeThe beer brewing process begins with pure water corn gritsand malted barley Malted barley is the basic ingredient andis often referred to as the ldquosoul of beerrdquo It contributes to thecolor and characteristic flavor of beer What does maltedmean It means that the barley has been steeped or soakedin water and allowed to germinate or grow Brewing beer is astep-by-step process

1 The corn grits and malt are cooked and blended tocreate mash

2 A sugary liquid called wort is extracted from themash (The remaining solid portion of the mash thebrewerrsquos grain is sold as feed)

3 The wort is transferred to the brew kettles where itrsquosboiled and hops are added Hops are responsible forthe rich aroma and the delicate bitterness in beer

4 The wort then moves to the wort cooler

5 Yeast which converts sugar into alcohol and carbondioxide and sterile air are added next and the wortmoves to fermentation tanks for a carefully controlledtime period

Two different types of yeast can be used bottom and top

Bottom yeast settles to the bottom of the tank after con-verting all the sugar and the resulting beer is a lager

Top yeast rises to the top of the tank when itrsquos done withthe sugar and the beer it produces is an ale

Types of BeerYoursquove probably seen some of the following terms on beerlabels or maybe yoursquove heard them in beer commercials

Ale is top-fermented beer Itrsquos a little bitter usually tasteshoppy and has a higher alcohol content

12_05056x ch07qxp 83106 753 PM Page 62

Bitter beer is a strong ale usually English with a higherthan normal alcohol content and as the name implies abittersweet taste

Bock beer is a dark strong slightly sweet lager beerbrewed from caramelized malt

Ice beer is brewed at colder than normal temperaturesand then chilled to below freezing forming crystals Thecrystals are filtered out leaving a smoother tasting beerwith a slightly higher alcohol content

Lager is a bottom-fermented beer stored at very low(cold) temperatures for a long period of time (severalmonths) The word lager is German for to store

Lambic beer is brewed in Belgium Ingredients such aspeaches raspberries cherries and wheat are addedduring the brewing process

Light beer has fewer calories and less alcohol

Malt liquor is fermented at a higher temperature thanother beers which results in a higher alcohol content

Pilsner is a light hoppy dry lager

Sake is beer brewed and processed from rice (Some consider sake a wine) Sake is served warm or at roomtemperature

Stout is an ale produced from heavily roasted barley Itrsquosdarker in color and has a slightly bitter flavor

Trappist beer is brewed in Belgium or the Netherlands byTrappist monks It contains high levels of alcohol and isusually dark in color

Wheat beer is made as you might expect with wheat Itrsquosusually garnished with a lemon and sometimes raspberrysyrup

Storing and Serving SuggestionsIn the United States beer is served cold (40 degreesFahrenheit) Lower temperatures tend to dull the taste soconsider 40 degrees the lower limit Store beer away from sunlight or yoursquoll have skunked beer which is never pleasant

Cognac and ArmagnacIn This Chapter Finding out about where theyrsquore made

Deciphering the designations on labels

What the well-known brands are

Finishing a meal with a warm drink

France produces two kinds of brandy cognac and arma-gnac Both are named after the region in which theyrsquore

made and both are delicious

CognacCognac can be produced only in the legally defined regionof Cognac France located between the Atlantic and MassifCentral specifically at the junction between the oceanic andcontinental climate zones The region also straddles the divid-ing line between northern and southern climates These fourinfluences create a multitude of microclimates In addition tothe unique climate the soil characteristics also foster a rangeof wine and consequently the cognac of each region In 1909the French government passed a law that only brandy producedin the ldquodelimited areardquo surrounding the town of Cognac can becalled cognac

How itrsquos madeThe arduous time-honored distilling and aging process iswhat makes cognac so special The cognac you drink today

14_05056x ch09qxp 83106 753 PM Page 69

was produced using methods dating back to the 17th centuryThe distillation of cognac is a two-stage process

1 A first distillate known as brouillis is obtained withan alcoholic strength of 28 to 32 percent

2 The brouillis is returned to the boiler for a secondheating which produces a liquid known as la bonnechauffe In this second distillation the beginning andthe end of distillation (the head and tail) are discardedleaving only the heart of the spirit which becomescognac

The cognac is then sent to rest in oak casks made from woodfrom the Limousin and Troncais forests

Maturing slowly over long years in cellars the cognac acquiresa smoothness and flavor beyond compare The wood and thedark saturated atmosphere of the cellars work together todevelop the aroma of the cognac to its full potential Allcognac is aged a minimum of 30 months

What are all those letters onthe labelWhen you shop for cognac you see all kinds of designationson the labels of various brands mdash for example CourvoisierVS Martell VSOP and Remy Martin XO The letters andphrases after the brand name are a general indication of theage (and in turn expensiveness) of the cognac

Every major brand produces cognacs of different ages Whenone of the following designations is used it indicates the ageof the youngest cognac used in the blend that makes upwhatrsquos in the bottle

VS (Very Superior) or Three Stars The cognac is agedless than 41frasl2 years

VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) The cognac has agedbetween 41frasl2 and 61frasl2 years Sometimes called VO (VeryOld) or Reserve

XO (Extremely Old) Napoleon Hors drsquoage VSSOPCordon Bleu Grand Reserve and Royal The cognachas aged at least 51frasl2 years and up to 40 years

14_05056x ch09qxp 83106 753 PM Page 70

Generally speaking each cognac producer uses blends thatare much older than the minimum required In the most pres-tigious cognacs some of the blends may have matured overseveral decades

Yoursquore also going to see some of these names on the labels

Grand Fine Champagne or Grande Champagne Theseidentify cognacs made exclusively from grapes grown inthe Grande Champagne region of Cognac

Petite Fine Champagne or Petite Champagne Thesenames mean that the cognac is a blend made from grapesgrown in the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagnesections of Cognac At least 50 percent of the blend mustbe from grapes grown in the Grande Champagne Region

The terms fine cognac and grande fine which may also appearon cognac labels have no legally defined meaning The desig-nations extra old (EO) and very old pale (VOP) are not offi-cially recognized by the Bureau du Cognac which makes upall the names and rules

You wonrsquot see vintage dates on cognac labels because in 1963the French passed a law prohibiting the placement of vintagelabels on cognac bottles Go figure

Popular brandsEven though all cognacs are produced in the same region andeven though every brand seems to have the same jumble of agedesignations on their labels you may be surprised at the degreeof distinctiveness among the brands Some brands have a strongroom-filling aroma some have a mild grape flavor others have

GinIn This Chapter Finding out how it all got started

Recognizing the different kinds of gin

Avoiding cheap well gin

G in is basically a distilled grain spirit flavored with extracts from different plants mainly the juniper berry

The Dutch were the first to make gin and have been doing sosince the late 1500s

A Little HistoryGin was invented by Franciscus de la Boe also known as DrSylvius Why Who knows but Mrs Sylvius Dr Sylvius was aprofessor of medicine and physician at Hollandrsquos University ofLeyden He used a juniper berry elixir known as genievere mdashFrench for juniper He thought that juniper berries could assistin the treatment of kidney and bladder ailments

British soldiers sampled his elixir when returning from thewars in the Netherlands and nicknamed it ldquoDutch couragerdquoWhen they brought the recipe back to England they changedthe name to gen and later to gin which soon became thenational drink of England At one time London alone hadmore than 7000 gin places

Types of GinAlthough gin has been produced and consumed for centuriesthe methods for making the quality gin that you drink today

have been around only since the turn of the 20th century Gincomes in many types mdash the most popular include the following

London dry gin (English) is distilled from a grain mixturethat contains more barley than corn Itrsquos distilled at ahigh proof and then redistilled with juniper berries

Checking out some brands

Preserving its flavor

The Irish have been distilling whiskey for at least 600 yearsif not longer While itrsquos safe to say that Irish whiskey has a

distinct character itrsquos also equally true to say that each brandof Irish whiskey is a unique product

What Makes Irish Whiskey Taste So Yummy

Irish whiskey is triple distilled from barley and other grains inpot stills and aged between five and ten years One major dif-ference between Scotch and Irish whiskey is that when dryingthe barley malt from which the whiskey is to be distilled theIrish use coal instead of peat which prevents the smokyflavor found in Scotch whisky

Whatrsquos more Irish whiskey also gains a great deal of flavorfrom the casks in which itrsquos aged Depending on the brandIrish whiskey is aged in casks that have held sherry rum orbourbon

For centuries the Irish produced an illegal distilled spiritcalled potcheen (po-cheen) a colorless unaged spirit thatrsquoshigh in alcohol content and similar to white lightning in thesouthern United States But as of March 17 1997 itrsquos legal andbeing produced and sold in Ireland and the rest of the world

The role of sugar

Well-known brands and flavors

Serving it up

Rum is a spirit distilled from sugar cane It comes in lightand dark varieties and is an ingredient in hundreds of

cocktail recipes

Rummaging through Rum History

Caribbean rum has been exported out of the islands for hun-dreds of years linked to the tropical and subtropical climateswhere sugar cane thrives It was Christopher Columbus him-self who first brought sugar cane to the Caribbean from theAzores But the origins of rum are far more ancient datingback most experts say more than 2000 years

Sugar cane grew like a weed in parts of southern China andIndia and Alexander the Great after conquering Indiabrought with him to Egypt ldquothe weed that gives honey withoutthe help of beesrdquo The Islamic people from the Middle Agesknown as the Saracens passed on their knowledge of distillingsugar cane to the Moors who made arak a cane-based proto-rum and planted sugar cane in Europe sometime after 636 AD

17_05056x ch12qxp 83106 753 PM Page 83

Columbus brought sugar cane to Puerto Rico on his secondvoyage in 1493 Later Ponce de Leoacuten the first Spanish gover-nor of the island planted the first cane fields in Puerto Ricowhich were soon to become vital to the local economy and tothe worldrsquos palate for fine spirits Some historians speculatethat Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos legendary search for a mythical fountainof youth was in fact a much more practical search for asource of pure water to use in his distillation of rum

The first sugar mill a precursor to the Puerto Rican rumindustry was built in 1524 when the product of cane distilla-tion was called brebaje the word rum being a later additionbrought by crusading English seamen

The popularity of rum continued to spread during the early19th century Distilleries prospered and grew in Puerto RicoIn 1893 the first modern column still was introduced toPuerto Rico With this innovation the foundation was laid forthe island to produce a more refined smoother-tasting rum ata dramatically increased pace Distilleries relocated from vastoutlying sugar plantations to more accessible sites and soonbecame centrally organized and managed The first PuertoRican rum for export to the continental US was shipped in1897 mdash some 18000 gallons

During the prohibition period of the US most Puerto Ricanrum distillers stayed in business mdash not by being rumrunnersbut by producing industrial alcohol When prohibition endedin 1934 Puerto Rico refocused on the potential of the Americanliquor market and slowly began to rebuild its shipments toUS ports It soon took steps to upgrade its rum productionand through special government funding and research cata-pulted the islandrsquos rum to the forefront of the worldrsquos rum production

With the onset of World War II manufacturers of US distilledspirits were ordered to limit their production and manufac-ture of industrial alcohol for the war effort However becausethe territorial mandate didnrsquot apply to Puerto Rico demandfor Puerto Rican rum increased Sales were phenomenalthroughout the war years with rum and Coke being thenational drink during World War II In 1952 about 100 differentbrands of Puerto Rican Rum were on the market Today thereare just 12

Scotch WhiskyIn This Chapter Regional variations

Peat and barley A match made in heaven

How to savor your Scotch

Scotch whisky (spelled without the e in whiskey) has a dis-tinctive smoky flavor thatrsquos the result of both the choice

of ingredients and the method of distillation

Scotch whisky must be distilled in Scotland mdash but not neces-sarily bottled in Scotland Some Scotch whiskies are bottled inother countries but distilled in Scotland

Types of Scotch WhiskyTwo kinds of Scotch whisky are distilled malt whisky (frombarley) and grain whisky (from cereals) Malt whiskies aredivided into four groups according to the geographical loca-tion of the distilleries in which theyrsquore made Figure 13-1shows the four main areas of Scotch production

Lowland malt whiskies Made south of an imaginary linedrawn from Dundee in the east to Greenock in the west

Highland malt whiskies Made north of the aforemen-tioned line

Speyside malt whiskies Made in the valley of the RiverSpey Although these whiskies come from within the areadesignated as Highland malt whiskies the concentration

18_05056x ch13qxp 83106 754 PM Page 89

of distilleries and the specific climatic conditions inSpeyside produce whiskies of an identifiable characterwhich enjoys a separate classification

Each group has its own clearly defined characteristics rang-ing from the lighter-flavored gentle Lowland whiskies to thosedistilled on Islay which are generally regarded as the heaviestmalt whiskies

Grain distilleries are mostly found in the central belt of Scotlandnear the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh Single grain whiskiesdisplay individual characteristics in the same way as maltsalthough the geographical influence isnrsquot the same

Married together malt whiskies and grain whiskies createblended Scotch whisky which accounts for 95 percent ofworld sales As you may expect from the name a single-maltScotch whisky is made from one type of malt and itrsquos notblended with other malts or grain whiskies

How Scotch Is MadeScotch whisky made from malts dates back to 1494 to FriarJohn Cor and his fellow friars Until the mid-1800s nearly allScotches were single-malt Then Andrew Usher came up withthe idea of mixing malt whisky and grain whisky to createblended Scotch whisky There can be many (up to 50) differ-ent types of malt whiskies blended with grain whisky (fromcereals) to make a blended whisky

1 The first stage of making Scotch whisky is the malting ofbarley The barley is soaked and dried for germinationDuring this period the starch in the barley converts tofermentable sugar

2 To stop the germination the malted barley is smokedusually over peat fires in open malt kilns giving Scotchwhisky its smoky taste

3 Then the barley is mixed with water and yeastFermentation takes place and alcohol is the resultThis liquid is then usually pumped into stills anddouble-distilled until the correct proof is attained

4 After distillation the whisky is placed in used Americanoak wine or bourbon barrels and then aged by law for aminimum of three years Most Scotch whiskies usuallyage from five to ten years sometimes much longer Itrsquossaid that the longer a whisky ages the smoother itbecomes

Chapter 13 Scotch Whisky 91

Whisky doesnrsquot improve with age after itrsquos bottled

After aging in the barrel each distiller then completes its ownblending filtering and bottling There are more than 100 dis-tilleries and more than 2000 different Scotch whiskies

Remember whisky can only be called Scotch whisky if itrsquos dis-tilled and matured for at least three years in Scotland

Messinrsquo with MezcalThe process of making mezcal hasnrsquot changed much since theSpanish arrived in Mexico in the early 1800s and brought withthem distillation technologies The Aztecs near the mountaintopsettlement of Monte Alban in Oaxaca had cultivated a certainspecies of agave plant for juice which they fermented intowhat they called pulque The Spaniards wanting somethingmuch more potent began to experiment with agave

Mezcal like tequila is made from the agave plant but theprocess is different Whatrsquos more while tequila is made exclusively in the northwestern state of Jalisco mezcalis exclusive to Oaxaca

Mezcal has a high potency and strong smoky flavor Distillersinsist that the drink has medicinal and tonic qualities In Mexicotribal women drink mezcal to withstand the pain of childbirthand laborers drink it for added strength

The famous wormWorms live in the agave plant and are hand-harvested duringthe rainy summer season Theyrsquore stored in mezcal drainedand sorted and placed in bottles near the end of the processThe worm is what makes mezcal unique itrsquos added as areminder that it comes from the plant from which the alcoholis made

Apocryphal legends note that the worm gives strength toanyone brave enough to gulp it down Some even believeit acts as an aphrodisiac Like the drink itself the worm issomething of an acquired taste

A few brandsThe number of mezcal brands is much smaller than thenumber of tequila brands Here are a few

Wines from Around the WorldClimate is a big factor in making good wine To grow wine-worthy grapes summers canrsquot be too hot and autumns needto be cool Light rainfall is necessary in the winter and springand the rain needs to taper off in the summer and fall Harshcold winters with hail frost and heavy winds are bad forgrowing grapes

The type of grape determines the type of wine and only cer-tain types of grapes grow in certain climates To make matterseven more complicated the soil of a particular region plays abig role in how its grapes will turn out So while the climate incertain regions of California and France may be perfect forsay chardonnay grapes the soil in those regions affects thegrapes to the point that the resulting wines from each regionare different

PortPort is a sweet fortified wine to which brandy has beenadded Itrsquos named for Oporto mdash a city in northern PortugalItrsquos made from grapes grown in some 72000 acres of vineyardsin a designated area along the Douro River known as the AltoDouro

Although many wines are sold as port throughout the worldauthentic port wine is the unique product of Portugal By lawit must be made only from approved grape varieties nativeto the Alto Douro district and grown nowhere else in the country

Fortification with brandy gives port extra strength and moreimportantly preserves the fresh flavor of grapes that makesport so delicious

Port comes in three varieties

Ruby Dark in color and fairly sweet

Tawny Lighter in color and drier because itrsquos aged incasks longer

Vintage port Released only in certain exceptional yearsthe fullest and sweetest of all ports

The following are some popular brands

Cockburnrsquos

Manzanilla Pale dry and light-bodied also servedchilled as an apeacuteritif

Amotillanda Medium dry and full-bodied perfectbetween meals or with soup and cheese

Sparkling WinesA monk whose name is now familiar mdash Dom Perignon mdashdeveloped the first sparkling wine in the 1600s in theChampagne region of France Without going into the detailshe developed a method of bottling wine so that carbon diox-ide a product of fermentation remains in the bottle with thewine and the result is the presence of bubbles

Sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France iscalled of course champagne It is made with a mix of differentgrapes (including pinot noir pinot meunier and chardonnay)through a process called meacutethod champenoise which is quitecostly and time-consuming Sparkling wines from other placesin the world are made in different ways with different grapesBut you can find sparkling wines from places such as Californiathat are made using the meacutethod champenoise

Champagne and other sparkling wines should be stored in acool dark place away from heat light vibrations and severetemperature variations Unlike the best wines from Bordeauxor California sparkling wines are ready for consumption whentheyrsquore shipped to the market However some wine-loversalso enjoy cellaring their champagnes for a few extra years

Before serving chill the wine well but donrsquot freeze itPlacing the bottle in a bucket filled with ice and water for30 to 40 minutes is the best way to chill champagne You canalso chill a bottle by refrigerating it for several hours butdonrsquot keep bottles in the fridge for extended periods of timeThe excessive cold and the vibration of the motor will causethe flavor to go a little flat

Champagne is best served in tall flute or tulip glasses at atemperature of 42 to 47 degrees Fahrenheit Tiny bubbleswill rise in a continuous stream When serving pour a smallquantity of champagne into each glass and allow it to settleThen fill each glass two-thirds full

One Final Word on WinesI havenrsquot said nearly as much about wine as I would like Thefact is people have written whole books on single types ofwine so itrsquos sort of foolish for me to even pretend to give acomprehensive overview in a single chapter The focus of thisbook after all is cocktail recipes

Mai Tai Out of this worldVic Bergeron invented the Mai Tai in 1944 at his Polynesian-style Oakland barHe didnrsquot want fruit juices detracting from the two ounces of J Wray NephewJamaican rum he poured as the base for his creation He merely added a halfounce of French orgeat (an almond-flavored syrup) a half ounce of orange cura-cao a quarter ounce of rock candy syrup and the juice of one lime CustomerCarrie Wright of Tahiti the first to taste the concoction responded ldquoMai tai roe aerdquo (Tahitian for ldquoOut of this world the bestrdquo)

The Mai Tai became famous and conflicting stories about its origins aggra-vated Bergeron so much that he elicited a sworn statement from Mrs Wrightin 1970 testifying to his authorship of the cocktail

ldquoMartinirdquo MadnessIn This Chapter Following the latest trend

Mixing a few martinis

Whatrsquos with all the martinis these days I get new recipessubmitted to me all the time and every day I hear

about these trendy new martinis that look like nothing morethan pink Kool-Aid in a dressed-up cocktail glass

The truth of the matter is that a real martini is simply a coupleounces of ice-cold gin (or vodka if gin isnrsquot your thing) with adash of vermouth Some people like more or less vermouththan others (or none at all) and some people prefer an oliveor a twist of lemon or even a pearl onion for a garnish Butthatrsquos really about it when it comes to martini variations as faras Irsquom concerned

Ultimately the martinis in this chapter are just cocktails likeany other but theyrsquore called martinis because theyrsquore servedin a martini glass Itrsquos trendy In a few years something elsewill be trendy At one time people drank cocktails with raweggs in them because they were popular Tab and Fresca usedto be popular In five years something else will be popularWhat are you gonna do

So anyway I tried to pick out around 30 interesting or trendyldquomartinisrdquo that actually taste good and are worth drinkingEnjoy

Chapter 21

At Least Ten Cures and Lores

In This Chapter Getting rid of your hiccups

What to do if you have a hangover

Part of being a bartender is settling arguments mendingbroken hearts and curing two primary medicinal prob-

lems hiccups and hangovers

HiccupsThe rapid closure of the vocal cords that follows the involun-tary contraction of the diaphragm causes hiccups (When youput it this way hiccups donrsquot seem nearly as embarrassing asmost people consider them) See the list of cures that follows

Slice a lemon and remove the pits Top the slices withsugar and Angostura bitters and eat the whole thingThis is the sure cure

Mix Angostura bitters and club soda and sip slowly

Drink a glass of water backwards This can be a reallywet cure

Hold your nose and breathe through your mouth Thencount to 10 or 20 or count to 100 to be certain

Blow into a paper bag

29_05056x ch21qxp 83106 755 PM Page 317

HangoversCause Take a guess

Cures Only a few cures really work

A little prevention Donrsquot overindulge or let yourself beoverserved (Someone told me once that even in modera-tion I am excessive)

Sleep Drink plenty of fluids (water-based not alcohol-based) Get some peace and quiet

Consider a few more possible cures

Drink two ounces Fernet Branca or Fernet Branca Menta(Italian digestives) on the rocks

Drink one small bottle of Underberg (a German digestive)

From my friends in Puerto Rico (Gere and Linda) rub ahalf of a lemon under each armpit

Drink a bottle of flat beer left out open overnight

Hair of the Dog One shot of whatever you were drinking

Introduction

When you hear the words ldquoSet rsquoem up Joerdquo you betterhave at least a basic knowledge of over 200 of the most

called-for cocktails in your head I say cocktails because a cock-tail is according to Webster ldquoany of various alcoholic drinksmade of a distilled liquor mixed with a wine fruit juice etcand usually icedrdquo

In this book I show you how to prepare and serve cocktailsYoursquoll find all the recipes you need to mix cocktails for yourguests I show you the correct equipment to use and help youset up for parties Whatrsquos more I also provide an excellentbackground on liquors wine and beer

About This BookThis book is a reference that you can read now and refer tomany years from now Donrsquot feel at all compelled to read thething from cover to cover I would guess that yoursquoll mostly usethis book for recipes and the best place to find them is the Ato Z recipe section (Chapter 17) which is by far the largestsection of the book Drinks are also listed by their ingredientsin the index

This book has a complete table of contents and another indexof topics Feel free to use both to find whatever informationyou need

Foolish AssumptionsYou donrsquot need any special knowledge of liquor or mixology tounderstand this book Having an interest in creating crowd-pleasing cocktails is definitely a plus and having the patienceto get recipes just right doesnrsquot hurt either Good bartendersare always trying new things in the interest of serving thetastiest beverages

03_05056x introqxp 83106 755 PM Page 1

A bartender cannot be made overnight though and a headfull of recipes and facts will get you only so far You need expe-rience and you must respect and like people If you arenrsquot apeople person all the great information in this book wonrsquotmake you a bartender

As a bartender for over 20 years I always enjoyed the atmos-phere and people in bars and restaurants They are there torelax and have fun My job was to serve and be a part of theentertainment to make the guests feel at home and relaxednever to be overbearing or intruding So a good attitude and alot of experience are key From here on in Irsquom going to assumethat you have the former and are working on the latter Yoursquorea good person especially because you bought this book

How This Book Is OrganizedLike all For Dummies books this book is organized into partsand chapters Each chapter is self-contained so that you donrsquothave to read them in order Feel free to skip around Herersquoswhatrsquos in each of the bookrsquos four parts

Part I The BasicsIn this part I describe the bartending tools and glasses youneed I also cover some simple bartending techniques thatwill help you look like a pro I tell you what you need to buy toprepare for a party and I conclude this part with all kinds ofinteresting alcohol- and bartending-related tables and charts

Part II Short Shots from AmericanWhiskey to WineI devote a chapter to each of the major kinds of liquor I tellyou where they come from how theyrsquore made and how tostore and serve them If you wonder what gin is made of seeChapter 10 Why does Scotch whisky have that smoky flavorCheck out Chapter 13

Bartending For Dummies 3rd Edition 2

03_05056x introqxp 83106 755 PM Page 2

Part III The RecipesThe first chapter in this part Chapter 17 contains over a thou-sand cocktail recipes listed in alphabetical order by name Thischapter contains classic cocktails from years past plus thehot cocktails of today and the future Chapter 18 presents afew dozen trendy and interesting ldquomartinisrdquo and if that werenrsquotenough the remaining chapters in this part show you how tomake punches and nonalcoholic drinks

Part IV The Part of TensEvery For Dummies book ends with lists of ten-plus items andthis book is no exception Chapter 21 contains roughly tencures for hiccups and hangovers Chapter 22 lists many morethan ten bartending-related Web sites and other resources

The IndexesThis book has two indexes an index of cocktails by their mainingredient and an index of topics The cocktail index is simplyanother way of finding a drink in this book if you donrsquot knowits name The topics index can help you find information inchapters other than the ones in Part III

Icons Used in This BookScattered throughout the book are little pictures which mypublisher calls icons in the margins next to certain blocks oftext Herersquos what they mean

This icon lets you know that Irsquom presenting a neat hint or trickthat can make your life easier

This icon flags information that will keep you out of trouble

This icon indicates that Irsquom about to tell a story or provide alittle interesting background information

Introduction 3

03_05056x introqxp 83106 755 PM Page 3

I use this symbol in Part III to indicate classic drinks thatevery bartender should know

Where to Go from HereLook up some recipes Read about Irish whiskey Check outone of my hangover cures This book was designed so thatyou can jump around

When it comes to the recipes I do have this bit of advice I rec-ommend that you use only the best ingredients when makingcocktails They represent your opinion of your guests and youwant them to have the best In some drinks you can get bywith the cheap stuff but in this day and age people are drink-ing less and demanding higher quality You canrsquot go wrongwhen you serve the good stuff so why serve anything else

That said get reading and start pouring

I have a few things to say about some of the glasses shown inFigure 1-5

Shot glass You can also use the shot glass as a measur-ing tool Itrsquos a must for every bar

Cocktail or martini glass Perfect for martinis Manhattansstingers and many other classic drinks this glass is avail-able in 3 to 6 oz sizes

White wine glass This glass is available in 5 to 10 ozsizes I advise you to stick with the smaller wine glass

Red wine glass This glass is also available in 5 to 10 ozsizes Note that the bowl is wider than the bowl of awhite wine glass allowing the wine to breathe

Champagne glass The bowl is tapered to prevent bub-bles from escaping

Rocks glass Also known as an old-fashioned glass sizesvary from 5 to 10 oz Use the 5 or 6 oz variety and addplenty of ice

Highball and Collins glasses These glasses are the mostversatile Sizes range from 8 to 12 oz

Cordial glass In addition to cordials you can also usethis glass to serve straight-up drinks

Brandy or cognac snifter Available in a wide range ofsizes the short stemmed large bowl should be cuppedin hand to warm the brandy or cognac

Stemless glasses These glasses have become popular inrecent years probably because they look elegant even ifthey arenrsquot as practical as the stemmed versions

If yoursquore planning on creating a bar at home or serving cock-tails at a party keep your glass selection small You can sim-plify by using two types of glasses a white wine glass and ared wine glass Both are shown in Figure 1-5 These twoglasses can be used for every type of cocktail (includingshots even though I said that a shot glass is essential forevery bar) plus beer and wine Also if you use these two glassshapes cleaning and storing your glasses is less complicated

Methods to the MadnessIn This Chapter Prepping some great garnishes

Mixing it up with style

Popping the champagne

Conjuring up some bar syrup

Making good cocktails takes more effort than just pour-ing ingredients into a glass This chapter shows you

how to pull off some of the little touches that make both youand your drinks look better with the ultimate result of hap-pier guests

Cutting FruitMany drinks require fruit garnishes Your guests expect thegarnish so you canrsquot forgo it and you have to do it wellPresentation counts big time You may mix the best drinks onthe planet but if they donrsquot look good when you serve themno onersquos going to want to drink them

Irsquove stepped away from the pulpit now The next few diagramsand steps show you how to cut the most common garnishes

Lemon twistsFigure 2-1 illustrates the procedure for cutting lemon twists

1 Cut off both ends of the lemon

06_05056x ch02qxp 83106 754 PM Page 15

2 Insert a sharp knife or spoon between the rind andmeat of the lemon and carefully separate them

3 Cut the rind into strips

The outside of the lemon is where the flavor lies When addinga lemon twist to a drink slowly rim the edge of the glass withthe outside of the lemon twist and then twist a drop into thecocktail

Figure 2-1 Cutting lemon twists

Orange slicesThe following steps for cutting orange slices are shown inFigure 2-2

Shaking a DrinkThe main reasons for shaking drinks are to chill a cocktailmix ingredients or put a head on some cocktails

As a general rule you should shake all cloudy drinks (includ-ing cream drinks and sours) and you should stir all cleardrinks Never shake a cocktail that has carbonated water orsoda For some drinks such as the stinger or martini askyour guests whether they prefer them shaken or stirred

To shake a cocktail in a Boston shaker follow these steps

1 Put some ice cubes (if called for in the recipe) in theglass container

2 Add the cocktail ingredients

3 Place the metal container over the glass container

4 Hold the metal and glass containers together withboth hands and shake with an up and down motion

Make sure that you always point the shaker away from yourguests This way you avoid spilling anything on them if theshaker isnrsquot properly sealed

The two pieces of the shaker may stick together after youshake a drink Never bang the shaker against the bar or anyother object instead gently tap it three or four times at thepoint where the glass and metal containers come in contact

When pouring or straining the cocktail always pour from theglass container

Opening Wine and ChampagneBottles

Opening bottles doesnrsquot take much skill just a little practiceItrsquos a no-brainer task so if you donrsquot get it right yoursquoll look likea fool

Wine bottlesTo open a wine bottle you want to use a waiterrsquos openerwhich I show you in Chapter 1 Then go through these num-bered steps

1 Using the blade on the opener cut the lead foil or cap-sule at the middle of the bulge near the bottle neck

2 Remove the foil and wipe the bottle top with a cloth toremove any mold or foreign particles

3 Line up the screw or worm directly over the bottleand with gentle downward pressure screw the wormclockwise into the cork

Donrsquot break the end of the cork and screw in justenough to extract the cork

4 Attach the lever of the opener to the lip on top of thebottle and while holding the bottle firmly slowly liftthe cork straight up

5 Wipe the neck of the bottle

6 Present the cork to your guest and pour one ounce ofwine into his or her glass

Part I The Basics 20

06_05056x ch02qxp 83106 754 PM Page 20

If the wine is to your guestrsquos satisfaction pour more Keepyour towel handy to wipe the neck of the bottle as you pourthe wine for other guests

Champagne and sparkling wine bottlesYou donrsquot use a corkscrew when opening sparkling wine bottles

1 Remove the wine hood and foil capsule

2 Hold the bottle at an angle and point it away from youand anyone else (and anything valuable)

3 While holding the cork in one hand twist the bottlewith the other hand and gently remove the corkRemember twist the bottle not the cork

4 Just before the cork is about to pop place a bar towelover the cork and bottle and loosen it the rest of theway (The towel will catch the cork and prevent thecork from becoming a UFO)

Keep another towel handy in case the bottle bubbles overafter you remove the cork To avoid the bubbling donrsquot shakethe bottle before opening

Making Simple SyrupSeveral cocktail recipes call for simple syrup To make it dis-solve one part sugar in one part boiling water and reduce themixture over low heat stirring frequently until it thickens Itshouldnrsquot take more than a couple minutes

Setting Up Your Home BarIn This Chapter Aiming to please your guests

Purchasing the right products

Knowing when you have enough

When doing any sort of entertaining one of the biggesthassles is trying to figure how to set up your bar and

how much liquor you need to buy If you throw parties all thetime or if yoursquore trying to plan just one big party this chaptercan help

Some Logistical AdviceBefore I get into what to buy and how much to buy Irsquod like toprovide some tips on how to set up a bar

Directing traffic flowKeep the bar as far as possible from your food and snacksThis prevents large groups of people from staying in one areaIf possible base a wine and beer bar in one area and a cocktailbar in another

Keeping your bar in or near the kitchenCleaning up spills is much easier in your kitchen Whatrsquosmore you do less running around when yoursquore close to thesink and refrigerator If you have to set up your bar in another

07_05056x ch03qxp 83106 752 PM Page 23

location put a small rug or cloth under and behind the bar toprotect the floor or carpet And no matter where your bar isuse a strong steady table to avoid tipping or collapsing

Serving smartlyYour party will run smoothly and your guests will be happy ifyou take the following suggestions to heart

Use nothing larger than a shot glass for shots and donrsquotserve doubles to your guests You arenrsquot doing anyoneany favors by overserving If a recipe calls for 11frasl2 oz ofvodka use just that amount No mixed drink shouldexceed 2 oz of liquor

Use lower proof products if theyrsquore available (SeeChapter 5 for an explanation of proof)

Have punch available for those ldquolightrdquo drinkers

Have alcohol-free drinks available including coffee and tea

Use only clean fresh ice and fresh fruit

If possible chill glasses and donrsquot put them out until fiveminutes before the party begins

When serving hot drinks make sure that the cups orglasses have handles

Use a scoop tongs or a large spoon to serve ice Neveruse your hands

If you donrsquot have bottle pourers rub wax paper over thetip of liquor bottles to prevent dripping

Close the bar one to one-and-a-half hours before the endof the party

If possible hire a professional bartender

What You Need to BuyWhen setting up your home bar always use popular namebrands These brands arenrsquot always the most expensive butthey tend to be the most recognizable

In This Chapter Getting to know the grain

Keeping your whiskey for a long time

This chapter deals with several kinds of whiskey bourbonTennessee whiskey rye whiskey blended whiskey

Canadian whisky and wheat and corn whiskies

How Whiskey Is MadeWhiskey is distilled from grain The type of grain or grains useddetermines the type of whiskey After the grain is harvested itrsquosinspected and stored Itrsquos then ground into a meal and cookedto separate the starch malt is added changing the starch tosugar This mash is cooled and pumped into fermenters Yeastis added to the mash and allowed to ferment resulting in a mixture of grain residue water yeast cells and alcohol Thismixture is then pumped into a still where heat vaporizes thealcohol The alcohol vapors are caught cooled condensed anddrawn off This new high-proof spirit is stored in large holdingtanks Water is added to lower the proof and the whiskey isdrawn into barrels The barrels of whiskey are stored in a rackhouse for aging After aging the barrels of whiskey are drainedinto the tanks that feed the bottling line In the case of blendedwhiskey (including Canadian) different whiskies are mixedtogether and the grain spirits or other whiskies are added

BourbonBourbon is the best known and probably the most popularwhiskey produced in the United States It has an amber colorand a slightly sweet flavor By law straight bourbon must bemade from at least 51 percent corn and it must be aged inbrand new charred oak barrels for at least two yearsAlthough Tennessee whiskey doesnrsquot have to be made thisway both Tennessee distilleries mdash George Dickel and JackDanielrsquos mdash also follow these guidelines After aging only pure

Some alcohol-related jargonWhen you read about the production of alcoholic beverages you see termslike proof and distillation thrown around Herersquos what they mean

Proof is the strength of an alcoholic beverage In the United States the scaleis 200 degrees with each degree equal to 05 percent alcohol by volume Soa 100-proof spirit is 50 percent alcohol A 200-proof spirit is after-shave or 100percent alcohol

Distillation is the process of converting a liquid by heating it into a gas orvapor which is then condensed back into a liquid form In the case of liquorproduction the liquid is a blend of ingredients that have been fermented sothat it contains some alcohol When you heat this liquid the alcohol it con-tains vaporizes first (because alcohol has a lower boiling point than saywater) So the vapor thatrsquos trapped and later condensed back into a liquid hasa much higher alcohol content than the original liquid Distillation is usuallyperformed by a still There are two basic types

The pot still A copper or copper-lined vessel with a large bottom and along tapered neck connected by a copper pipe to a cooling spiral tubewhich is the condenser As the liquid boils it evaporates The vapor risesup to the condenser cools and returns back to a liquid state with alcoholOften this process is repeated to achieve the right alcohol level

The continuous still Also known as a column still patent still and Coffeystill the continuous still has tall copper columns that continually trickleliquid down over many steam-producing plates The vapor is drawn intovents and condensed A continuous still performs under the same princi-ples as a pot still but can work with a constant flow of materials comingin and going out which is great for mass production

water can be added to reduce the barrel proof strength to bottling (selling) proof Scotch Canadian whiskies and Irishwhiskies can have added caramel coloring but bourbon canrsquot

A little historySettlers on the east coast of North America began makingrye whiskey in the 1700s They were mostly immigrants fromScotland England and Northern Ireland and werenrsquot familiarwith corn In the 1790s when the US government imposed atax on distilled spirits the whiskey makers of Pennsylvaniarevolted culminating in the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794President Washington called out federal troops to put downthe rebellion and many distillers fled west to Kentuckywhere the law wasnrsquot imposed quite so strictly

In Kentucky early settlers had already begun making whiskeyfrom corn and the newcomers quickly learned how to use thisAmerican grain to make what would be known as bourbon Itsname came about because it was shipped from Bourbon Countyin Kentucky down to places such as St Louis and New Orleanswhere it soon became known as ldquowhiskey from Bourbonrdquo andeventually bourbon whiskey

Apeacuteritifs Cordialsand Liqueurs

In This Chapter Some tasty before-dinner drinks

A variety of cordials and liqueurs

Serving suggestions

This chapter is a catch-all for a handful of different liquorcategories Apeacuteritifs were developed specifically as pre-

meal beverages Cordials and liqueurs have a variety of pur-poses Some are great mixers others are good after-dinnerdrinks and a few make good apeacuteritifs as well Go figure

Apeacuteritifs Great Ways to WhetYour Appetite

Apeacuteritif comes from the Latin word aperire meaning to openAn apeacuteritif is usually any type of drink you would have before ameal Most apeacuteritifs are usually low in alcohol and mild tasting

You can drink many of the cordials and liqueurs listed later inthis chapter as apeacuteritifs as well I donrsquot have much more tosay about apeacuteritifs other than to talk about the individualproducts that are available such as the following

Amer Picon (French) A blend of African oranges gen-tian root quinine bark and some alcohol Usually servedwith club soda or seltzer water with lemon

Cordials and LiqueursCordial comes from the Latin word cor meaning heart andliqueur is derived from the Latin meaning melt or dissolveBoth words are interchangeable although liqueurs are morepopular in Europe and cordials are more popular in theUnited States From this point on Irsquoll use the word cordial todescribe both

Part II Short Shots from American Whiskey to Wine 52

11_05056x ch06qxp 83106 753 PM Page 52

Cordials are made by infusing the flavor of fruits herbs spicesand other plants with a spirit such as brandy or whiskey Asyoursquoll discover from the list later in this chapter cordials comein many different varieties Most are sweet In fact cordials soldin the United States contain up to 35 percent sugar and mustcontain a minimum of 25 percent sugar by weight

Within the cordial category are cregravemes and fruit-flavoredbrandies Cregravemes have a high sugar content which makesthem well creamy Usually the name of such a cordial indi-cates what it tastes like Cregraveme de banana tastes like bananasand apricot brandy tastes like apricots

There are more cordials in the world than any one personcan list What I try to do here is describe the ones that yoursquorelikely to see in the recipes in this book Someone somewhereprobably makes a soy-sauce-and-aloe-flavored cordial andmaybe it tastes great but nobody I know is ever going to askfor it so Irsquom not going to list it Instead I give you the followingcommon cordials

BeerIn This Chapter Mixing and mashing corn grits and malt

Knowing the lineup of beer types

Avoiding the sun and keeping it cool

Basically beer is an alcoholic beverage thatrsquos fermented and brewed from rice barley corn hops water and yeast

Beer has been brewed for thousands of years beginning withthe Egyptians Today thousands of different varieties of beer areenjoyed throughout the world The United States has more than900 microbrews (made by small independent brewers) aloneGermany brags of having over 1200 breweries

Beer enjoys the distinction of coming to the Americas on the Mayflower and in fact seems to have played a part in the Pilgrimsrsquo decision to land at Plymouth Rock instead of farther south as intended A journal written by one of the passengers mdash which is now in the US Library of Congress mdashstates in an entry from 1620 that the Mayflower landed atPlymouth because ldquowe could not now take time for furthersearch or consideration our victuals being much spent espe-cially our beer rdquo

The first commercial brewery in America was founded in NewAmsterdam (New York City) in 1613 Many patriots owned theirown breweries among them General Israel Putnam and WilliamPenn Thomas Jefferson was also interested in brewing andmade beer at Monticello George Washington even had hisown brew house on the grounds of Mount Vernon and hishandwritten recipe for beer mdash dated 1757 and taken fromhis diary mdash is still preserved

How Beer Is MadeThe beer brewing process begins with pure water corn gritsand malted barley Malted barley is the basic ingredient andis often referred to as the ldquosoul of beerrdquo It contributes to thecolor and characteristic flavor of beer What does maltedmean It means that the barley has been steeped or soakedin water and allowed to germinate or grow Brewing beer is astep-by-step process

1 The corn grits and malt are cooked and blended tocreate mash

2 A sugary liquid called wort is extracted from themash (The remaining solid portion of the mash thebrewerrsquos grain is sold as feed)

3 The wort is transferred to the brew kettles where itrsquosboiled and hops are added Hops are responsible forthe rich aroma and the delicate bitterness in beer

4 The wort then moves to the wort cooler

5 Yeast which converts sugar into alcohol and carbondioxide and sterile air are added next and the wortmoves to fermentation tanks for a carefully controlledtime period

Two different types of yeast can be used bottom and top

Bottom yeast settles to the bottom of the tank after con-verting all the sugar and the resulting beer is a lager

Top yeast rises to the top of the tank when itrsquos done withthe sugar and the beer it produces is an ale

Types of BeerYoursquove probably seen some of the following terms on beerlabels or maybe yoursquove heard them in beer commercials

Ale is top-fermented beer Itrsquos a little bitter usually tasteshoppy and has a higher alcohol content

Bock beer is a dark strong slightly sweet lager beerbrewed from caramelized malt

Ice beer is brewed at colder than normal temperaturesand then chilled to below freezing forming crystals Thecrystals are filtered out leaving a smoother tasting beerwith a slightly higher alcohol content

Lager is a bottom-fermented beer stored at very low(cold) temperatures for a long period of time (severalmonths) The word lager is German for to store

Lambic beer is brewed in Belgium Ingredients such aspeaches raspberries cherries and wheat are addedduring the brewing process

Light beer has fewer calories and less alcohol

Malt liquor is fermented at a higher temperature thanother beers which results in a higher alcohol content

Pilsner is a light hoppy dry lager

Sake is beer brewed and processed from rice (Some consider sake a wine) Sake is served warm or at roomtemperature

Stout is an ale produced from heavily roasted barley Itrsquosdarker in color and has a slightly bitter flavor

When brandy is produced it undergoes four basic processesfermentation of the grape distillation to brandy aging in oakbarrels and blending by the master blender

American BrandyBrandy was introduced to California more than 200 years agoby Spanish missionaries Taking advantage of the healthy soilgood climate and water American brandy production pri-marily occurs in the San Joaquin Valley California produces the

The solera methodThe solera method of making brandy is comprised of three aging stages

1 The wine spirits are blended and placed for some months in barrels

2 Half of the brandy in each barrel is then blended in another barrel con-taining older brandy

3 Finally half of that barrel is placed in yet another barrel containing evenolder brandy

Cognac and ArmagnacIn This Chapter Finding out about where theyrsquore made

Deciphering the designations on labels

What the well-known brands are

Finishing a meal with a warm drink

France produces two kinds of brandy cognac and arma-gnac Both are named after the region in which theyrsquore

made and both are delicious

CognacCognac can be produced only in the legally defined regionof Cognac France located between the Atlantic and MassifCentral specifically at the junction between the oceanic andcontinental climate zones The region also straddles the divid-ing line between northern and southern climates These fourinfluences create a multitude of microclimates In addition tothe unique climate the soil characteristics also foster a rangeof wine and consequently the cognac of each region In 1909the French government passed a law that only brandy producedin the ldquodelimited areardquo surrounding the town of Cognac can becalled cognac

How itrsquos madeThe arduous time-honored distilling and aging process iswhat makes cognac so special The cognac you drink today

14_05056x ch09qxp 83106 753 PM Page 69

was produced using methods dating back to the 17th centuryThe distillation of cognac is a two-stage process

1 A first distillate known as brouillis is obtained withan alcoholic strength of 28 to 32 percent

2 The brouillis is returned to the boiler for a secondheating which produces a liquid known as la bonnechauffe In this second distillation the beginning andthe end of distillation (the head and tail) are discardedleaving only the heart of the spirit which becomescognac

The cognac is then sent to rest in oak casks made from woodfrom the Limousin and Troncais forests

Maturing slowly over long years in cellars the cognac acquiresa smoothness and flavor beyond compare The wood and thedark saturated atmosphere of the cellars work together todevelop the aroma of the cognac to its full potential Allcognac is aged a minimum of 30 months

What are all those letters onthe labelWhen you shop for cognac you see all kinds of designationson the labels of various brands mdash for example CourvoisierVS Martell VSOP and Remy Martin XO The letters andphrases after the brand name are a general indication of theage (and in turn expensiveness) of the cognac

Every major brand produces cognacs of different ages Whenone of the following designations is used it indicates the ageof the youngest cognac used in the blend that makes upwhatrsquos in the bottle

VS (Very Superior) or Three Stars The cognac is agedless than 41frasl2 years

VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) The cognac has agedbetween 41frasl2 and 61frasl2 years Sometimes called VO (VeryOld) or Reserve

XO (Extremely Old) Napoleon Hors drsquoage VSSOPCordon Bleu Grand Reserve and Royal The cognachas aged at least 51frasl2 years and up to 40 years

14_05056x ch09qxp 83106 753 PM Page 70

Generally speaking each cognac producer uses blends thatare much older than the minimum required In the most pres-tigious cognacs some of the blends may have matured overseveral decades

Yoursquore also going to see some of these names on the labels

Grand Fine Champagne or Grande Champagne Theseidentify cognacs made exclusively from grapes grown inthe Grande Champagne region of Cognac

Petite Fine Champagne or Petite Champagne Thesenames mean that the cognac is a blend made from grapesgrown in the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagnesections of Cognac At least 50 percent of the blend mustbe from grapes grown in the Grande Champagne Region

The terms fine cognac and grande fine which may also appearon cognac labels have no legally defined meaning The desig-nations extra old (EO) and very old pale (VOP) are not offi-cially recognized by the Bureau du Cognac which makes upall the names and rules

You wonrsquot see vintage dates on cognac labels because in 1963the French passed a law prohibiting the placement of vintagelabels on cognac bottles Go figure

Popular brandsEven though all cognacs are produced in the same region andeven though every brand seems to have the same jumble of agedesignations on their labels you may be surprised at the degreeof distinctiveness among the brands Some brands have a strongroom-filling aroma some have a mild grape flavor others have

What Makes Irish Whiskey Taste So Yummy

Irish whiskey is triple distilled from barley and other grains inpot stills and aged between five and ten years One major dif-ference between Scotch and Irish whiskey is that when dryingthe barley malt from which the whiskey is to be distilled theIrish use coal instead of peat which prevents the smokyflavor found in Scotch whisky

Whatrsquos more Irish whiskey also gains a great deal of flavorfrom the casks in which itrsquos aged Depending on the brandIrish whiskey is aged in casks that have held sherry rum orbourbon

For centuries the Irish produced an illegal distilled spiritcalled potcheen (po-cheen) a colorless unaged spirit thatrsquoshigh in alcohol content and similar to white lightning in thesouthern United States But as of March 17 1997 itrsquos legal andbeing produced and sold in Ireland and the rest of the world

Well-known brands and flavors

Serving it up

Rum is a spirit distilled from sugar cane It comes in lightand dark varieties and is an ingredient in hundreds of

cocktail recipes

Rummaging through Rum History

Caribbean rum has been exported out of the islands for hun-dreds of years linked to the tropical and subtropical climateswhere sugar cane thrives It was Christopher Columbus him-self who first brought sugar cane to the Caribbean from theAzores But the origins of rum are far more ancient datingback most experts say more than 2000 years

Sugar cane grew like a weed in parts of southern China andIndia and Alexander the Great after conquering Indiabrought with him to Egypt ldquothe weed that gives honey withoutthe help of beesrdquo The Islamic people from the Middle Agesknown as the Saracens passed on their knowledge of distillingsugar cane to the Moors who made arak a cane-based proto-rum and planted sugar cane in Europe sometime after 636 AD

17_05056x ch12qxp 83106 753 PM Page 83

Columbus brought sugar cane to Puerto Rico on his secondvoyage in 1493 Later Ponce de Leoacuten the first Spanish gover-nor of the island planted the first cane fields in Puerto Ricowhich were soon to become vital to the local economy and tothe worldrsquos palate for fine spirits Some historians speculatethat Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos legendary search for a mythical fountainof youth was in fact a much more practical search for asource of pure water to use in his distillation of rum

The first sugar mill a precursor to the Puerto Rican rumindustry was built in 1524 when the product of cane distilla-tion was called brebaje the word rum being a later additionbrought by crusading English seamen

The popularity of rum continued to spread during the early19th century Distilleries prospered and grew in Puerto RicoIn 1893 the first modern column still was introduced toPuerto Rico With this innovation the foundation was laid forthe island to produce a more refined smoother-tasting rum ata dramatically increased pace Distilleries relocated from vastoutlying sugar plantations to more accessible sites and soonbecame centrally organized and managed The first PuertoRican rum for export to the continental US was shipped in1897 mdash some 18000 gallons

During the prohibition period of the US most Puerto Ricanrum distillers stayed in business mdash not by being rumrunnersbut by producing industrial alcohol When prohibition endedin 1934 Puerto Rico refocused on the potential of the Americanliquor market and slowly began to rebuild its shipments toUS ports It soon took steps to upgrade its rum productionand through special government funding and research cata-pulted the islandrsquos rum to the forefront of the worldrsquos rum production

With the onset of World War II manufacturers of US distilledspirits were ordered to limit their production and manufac-ture of industrial alcohol for the war effort However becausethe territorial mandate didnrsquot apply to Puerto Rico demandfor Puerto Rican rum increased Sales were phenomenalthroughout the war years with rum and Coke being thenational drink during World War II In 1952 about 100 differentbrands of Puerto Rican Rum were on the market Today thereare just 12

Scotch WhiskyIn This Chapter Regional variations

Peat and barley A match made in heaven

How to savor your Scotch

Scotch whisky (spelled without the e in whiskey) has a dis-tinctive smoky flavor thatrsquos the result of both the choice

of ingredients and the method of distillation

Scotch whisky must be distilled in Scotland mdash but not neces-sarily bottled in Scotland Some Scotch whiskies are bottled inother countries but distilled in Scotland

Types of Scotch WhiskyTwo kinds of Scotch whisky are distilled malt whisky (frombarley) and grain whisky (from cereals) Malt whiskies aredivided into four groups according to the geographical loca-tion of the distilleries in which theyrsquore made Figure 13-1shows the four main areas of Scotch production

Lowland malt whiskies Made south of an imaginary linedrawn from Dundee in the east to Greenock in the west

Highland malt whiskies Made north of the aforemen-tioned line

Speyside malt whiskies Made in the valley of the RiverSpey Although these whiskies come from within the areadesignated as Highland malt whiskies the concentration

18_05056x ch13qxp 83106 754 PM Page 89

of distilleries and the specific climatic conditions inSpeyside produce whiskies of an identifiable characterwhich enjoys a separate classification

Each group has its own clearly defined characteristics rang-ing from the lighter-flavored gentle Lowland whiskies to thosedistilled on Islay which are generally regarded as the heaviestmalt whiskies

Grain distilleries are mostly found in the central belt of Scotlandnear the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh Single grain whiskiesdisplay individual characteristics in the same way as maltsalthough the geographical influence isnrsquot the same

Married together malt whiskies and grain whiskies createblended Scotch whisky which accounts for 95 percent ofworld sales As you may expect from the name a single-maltScotch whisky is made from one type of malt and itrsquos notblended with other malts or grain whiskies

How Scotch Is MadeScotch whisky made from malts dates back to 1494 to FriarJohn Cor and his fellow friars Until the mid-1800s nearly allScotches were single-malt Then Andrew Usher came up withthe idea of mixing malt whisky and grain whisky to createblended Scotch whisky There can be many (up to 50) differ-ent types of malt whiskies blended with grain whisky (fromcereals) to make a blended whisky

1 The first stage of making Scotch whisky is the malting ofbarley The barley is soaked and dried for germinationDuring this period the starch in the barley converts tofermentable sugar

2 To stop the germination the malted barley is smokedusually over peat fires in open malt kilns giving Scotchwhisky its smoky taste

3 Then the barley is mixed with water and yeastFermentation takes place and alcohol is the resultThis liquid is then usually pumped into stills anddouble-distilled until the correct proof is attained

4 After distillation the whisky is placed in used Americanoak wine or bourbon barrels and then aged by law for aminimum of three years Most Scotch whiskies usuallyage from five to ten years sometimes much longer Itrsquossaid that the longer a whisky ages the smoother itbecomes

Chapter 13 Scotch Whisky 91

18_05056x ch13qxp 83106 754 PM Page 91

Whisky doesnrsquot improve with age after itrsquos bottled

After aging in the barrel each distiller then completes its ownblending filtering and bottling There are more than 100 dis-tilleries and more than 2000 different Scotch whiskies

Remember whisky can only be called Scotch whisky if itrsquos dis-tilled and matured for at least three years in Scotland

Messinrsquo with MezcalThe process of making mezcal hasnrsquot changed much since theSpanish arrived in Mexico in the early 1800s and brought withthem distillation technologies The Aztecs near the mountaintopsettlement of Monte Alban in Oaxaca had cultivated a certainspecies of agave plant for juice which they fermented intowhat they called pulque The Spaniards wanting somethingmuch more potent began to experiment with agave

Mezcal like tequila is made from the agave plant but theprocess is different Whatrsquos more while tequila is made exclusively in the northwestern state of Jalisco mezcalis exclusive to Oaxaca

Mezcal has a high potency and strong smoky flavor Distillersinsist that the drink has medicinal and tonic qualities In Mexicotribal women drink mezcal to withstand the pain of childbirthand laborers drink it for added strength

The famous wormWorms live in the agave plant and are hand-harvested duringthe rainy summer season Theyrsquore stored in mezcal drainedand sorted and placed in bottles near the end of the processThe worm is what makes mezcal unique itrsquos added as areminder that it comes from the plant from which the alcoholis made

Apocryphal legends note that the worm gives strength toanyone brave enough to gulp it down Some even believeit acts as an aphrodisiac Like the drink itself the worm issomething of an acquired taste

A few brandsThe number of mezcal brands is much smaller than thenumber of tequila brands Here are a few

Wines from Around the WorldClimate is a big factor in making good wine To grow wine-worthy grapes summers canrsquot be too hot and autumns needto be cool Light rainfall is necessary in the winter and springand the rain needs to taper off in the summer and fall Harshcold winters with hail frost and heavy winds are bad forgrowing grapes

The type of grape determines the type of wine and only cer-tain types of grapes grow in certain climates To make matterseven more complicated the soil of a particular region plays abig role in how its grapes will turn out So while the climate incertain regions of California and France may be perfect forsay chardonnay grapes the soil in those regions affects thegrapes to the point that the resulting wines from each regionare different

Sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France iscalled of course champagne It is made with a mix of differentgrapes (including pinot noir pinot meunier and chardonnay)through a process called meacutethod champenoise which is quitecostly and time-consuming Sparkling wines from other placesin the world are made in different ways with different grapesBut you can find sparkling wines from places such as Californiathat are made using the meacutethod champenoise

Champagne and other sparkling wines should be stored in acool dark place away from heat light vibrations and severetemperature variations Unlike the best wines from Bordeauxor California sparkling wines are ready for consumption whentheyrsquore shipped to the market However some wine-loversalso enjoy cellaring their champagnes for a few extra years

Before serving chill the wine well but donrsquot freeze itPlacing the bottle in a bucket filled with ice and water for30 to 40 minutes is the best way to chill champagne You canalso chill a bottle by refrigerating it for several hours butdonrsquot keep bottles in the fridge for extended periods of timeThe excessive cold and the vibration of the motor will causethe flavor to go a little flat

Champagne is best served in tall flute or tulip glasses at atemperature of 42 to 47 degrees Fahrenheit Tiny bubbleswill rise in a continuous stream When serving pour a smallquantity of champagne into each glass and allow it to settleThen fill each glass two-thirds full

Mai Tai Out of this worldVic Bergeron invented the Mai Tai in 1944 at his Polynesian-style Oakland barHe didnrsquot want fruit juices detracting from the two ounces of J Wray NephewJamaican rum he poured as the base for his creation He merely added a halfounce of French orgeat (an almond-flavored syrup) a half ounce of orange cura-cao a quarter ounce of rock candy syrup and the juice of one lime CustomerCarrie Wright of Tahiti the first to taste the concoction responded ldquoMai tai roe aerdquo (Tahitian for ldquoOut of this world the bestrdquo)

The Mai Tai became famous and conflicting stories about its origins aggra-vated Bergeron so much that he elicited a sworn statement from Mrs Wrightin 1970 testifying to his authorship of the cocktail

ldquoMartinirdquo MadnessIn This Chapter Following the latest trend

Mixing a few martinis

Whatrsquos with all the martinis these days I get new recipessubmitted to me all the time and every day I hear

about these trendy new martinis that look like nothing morethan pink Kool-Aid in a dressed-up cocktail glass

The truth of the matter is that a real martini is simply a coupleounces of ice-cold gin (or vodka if gin isnrsquot your thing) with adash of vermouth Some people like more or less vermouththan others (or none at all) and some people prefer an oliveor a twist of lemon or even a pearl onion for a garnish Butthatrsquos really about it when it comes to martini variations as faras Irsquom concerned

Ultimately the martinis in this chapter are just cocktails likeany other but theyrsquore called martinis because theyrsquore servedin a martini glass Itrsquos trendy In a few years something elsewill be trendy At one time people drank cocktails with raweggs in them because they were popular Tab and Fresca usedto be popular In five years something else will be popularWhat are you gonna do

So anyway I tried to pick out around 30 interesting or trendyldquomartinisrdquo that actually taste good and are worth drinkingEnjoy

At Least Ten Cures and Lores

In This Chapter Getting rid of your hiccups

What to do if you have a hangover

Part of being a bartender is settling arguments mendingbroken hearts and curing two primary medicinal prob-

lems hiccups and hangovers

HiccupsThe rapid closure of the vocal cords that follows the involun-tary contraction of the diaphragm causes hiccups (When youput it this way hiccups donrsquot seem nearly as embarrassing asmost people consider them) See the list of cures that follows

Slice a lemon and remove the pits Top the slices withsugar and Angostura bitters and eat the whole thingThis is the sure cure

Mix Angostura bitters and club soda and sip slowly

Drink a glass of water backwards This can be a reallywet cure

Hold your nose and breathe through your mouth Thencount to 10 or 20 or count to 100 to be certain

Blow into a paper bag

29_05056x ch21qxp 83106 755 PM Page 317

HangoversCause Take a guess

Cures Only a few cures really work

A little prevention Donrsquot overindulge or let yourself beoverserved (Someone told me once that even in modera-tion I am excessive)

Sleep Drink plenty of fluids (water-based not alcohol-based) Get some peace and quiet

Consider a few more possible cures

Drink two ounces Fernet Branca or Fernet Branca Menta(Italian digestives) on the rocks

Drink one small bottle of Underberg (a German digestive)

From my friends in Puerto Rico (Gere and Linda) rub ahalf of a lemon under each armpit

Drink a bottle of flat beer left out open overnight

Hair of the Dog One shot of whatever you were drinking

Introduction

When you hear the words ldquoSet rsquoem up Joerdquo you betterhave at least a basic knowledge of over 200 of the most

called-for cocktails in your head I say cocktails because a cock-tail is according to Webster ldquoany of various alcoholic drinksmade of a distilled liquor mixed with a wine fruit juice etcand usually icedrdquo

In this book I show you how to prepare and serve cocktailsYoursquoll find all the recipes you need to mix cocktails for yourguests I show you the correct equipment to use and help youset up for parties Whatrsquos more I also provide an excellentbackground on liquors wine and beer

About This BookThis book is a reference that you can read now and refer tomany years from now Donrsquot feel at all compelled to read thething from cover to cover I would guess that yoursquoll mostly usethis book for recipes and the best place to find them is the Ato Z recipe section (Chapter 17) which is by far the largestsection of the book Drinks are also listed by their ingredientsin the index

This book has a complete table of contents and another indexof topics Feel free to use both to find whatever informationyou need

Foolish AssumptionsYou donrsquot need any special knowledge of liquor or mixology tounderstand this book Having an interest in creating crowd-pleasing cocktails is definitely a plus and having the patienceto get recipes just right doesnrsquot hurt either Good bartendersare always trying new things in the interest of serving thetastiest beverages

03_05056x introqxp 83106 755 PM Page 1

A bartender cannot be made overnight though and a headfull of recipes and facts will get you only so far You need expe-rience and you must respect and like people If you arenrsquot apeople person all the great information in this book wonrsquotmake you a bartender

As a bartender for over 20 years I always enjoyed the atmos-phere and people in bars and restaurants They are there torelax and have fun My job was to serve and be a part of theentertainment to make the guests feel at home and relaxednever to be overbearing or intruding So a good attitude and alot of experience are key From here on in Irsquom going to assumethat you have the former and are working on the latter Yoursquorea good person especially because you bought this book

How This Book Is OrganizedLike all For Dummies books this book is organized into partsand chapters Each chapter is self-contained so that you donrsquothave to read them in order Feel free to skip around Herersquoswhatrsquos in each of the bookrsquos four parts

Part I The BasicsIn this part I describe the bartending tools and glasses youneed I also cover some simple bartending techniques thatwill help you look like a pro I tell you what you need to buy toprepare for a party and I conclude this part with all kinds ofinteresting alcohol- and bartending-related tables and charts

Part II Short Shots from AmericanWhiskey to WineI devote a chapter to each of the major kinds of liquor I tellyou where they come from how theyrsquore made and how tostore and serve them If you wonder what gin is made of seeChapter 10 Why does Scotch whisky have that smoky flavorCheck out Chapter 13

Bartending For Dummies 3rd Edition 2

03_05056x introqxp 83106 755 PM Page 2

Part III The RecipesThe first chapter in this part Chapter 17 contains over a thou-sand cocktail recipes listed in alphabetical order by name Thischapter contains classic cocktails from years past plus thehot cocktails of today and the future Chapter 18 presents afew dozen trendy and interesting ldquomartinisrdquo and if that werenrsquotenough the remaining chapters in this part show you how tomake punches and nonalcoholic drinks

Part IV The Part of TensEvery For Dummies book ends with lists of ten-plus items andthis book is no exception Chapter 21 contains roughly tencures for hiccups and hangovers Chapter 22 lists many morethan ten bartending-related Web sites and other resources

The IndexesThis book has two indexes an index of cocktails by their mainingredient and an index of topics The cocktail index is simplyanother way of finding a drink in this book if you donrsquot knowits name The topics index can help you find information inchapters other than the ones in Part III

Icons Used in This BookScattered throughout the book are little pictures which mypublisher calls icons in the margins next to certain blocks oftext Herersquos what they mean

This icon lets you know that Irsquom presenting a neat hint or trickthat can make your life easier

This icon flags information that will keep you out of trouble

This icon indicates that Irsquom about to tell a story or provide alittle interesting background information

Introduction 3

03_05056x introqxp 83106 755 PM Page 3

I use this symbol in Part III to indicate classic drinks thatevery bartender should know

Where to Go from HereLook up some recipes Read about Irish whiskey Check outone of my hangover cures This book was designed so thatyou can jump around

When it comes to the recipes I do have this bit of advice I rec-ommend that you use only the best ingredients when makingcocktails They represent your opinion of your guests and youwant them to have the best In some drinks you can get bywith the cheap stuff but in this day and age people are drink-ing less and demanding higher quality You canrsquot go wrongwhen you serve the good stuff so why serve anything else

That said get reading and start pouring

Just for Openers The RightTools and Glasses

In This Chapter All the bartending tools that yoursquoll ever need

More glasses than you can shake a drink at

To bartend you need a few essentials You need to havegood people skills and to know about the products that

yoursquore pouring cocktail recipes and proper equipment arealso necessary This chapter covers equipment (Part II canhelp you with product knowledge and Part III gives you therecipes As for people skills yoursquore on your own)

The Basic ToolsThe most important assets for any profession are the righttools You need basic bar tools to mix serve and store yourdrinks Whether yoursquore stocking a home bar or working as aprofessional your basic tools are a wine opener cocktailshaker measuring glass and strainer

Wine openerThe best wine opener is a waiterrsquos wine opener (shown inFigure 1-1) It has a sharp blade a corkscrew (also known asa worm) and a bottle opener This wine opener can be foundin most liquor stores or bar supply houses

05_05056x ch01qxp 83106 754 PM Page 7

Another nifty wine opener is called a Rabbit Itrsquos also shown inFigure 1-1

Figure 1-1 A waiterrsquos wine opener and a Rabbit

Cocktail shakerFigure 1-2 shows two types of shakers The Boston shaker isthe one that most professional bartenders use It consists of amixing glass and a stainless steel core that overlaps the glassThe Standard shaker usually consists of two or more stainlesssteel or glass parts and can be found in department stores orantiques stores Many of these shakers come in differentshapes and designs

StrainerA couple of different types of strainers are available butthe most popular is the Hawthorn shown in Figure 1-3The Hawthorn is a flat spoon-shaped utensil with a springcoil around its head You can use it on top of a steel shakeror a bar glass to strain cocktails

Other toolsMany of the following tools are shown in Figure 1-4

Bar spoon A long spoon for stirring cocktails

Blender Many types of commercial or home blenderswith various speeds are available When making a drinkalways put liquid in the blender before switching it onThis will save your blade Some blenders (but not all) canbe used to make crushed ice Check with the manufac-turer or buy an ice crusher

Coasters or bar napkins Coasters prevent rings fromdeveloping on your bar and other tables Napkins alsohelp your guests hold their drinks

Ice bucket Pick one thatrsquos large enough to hold at leastthree trays of ice

Ice scoop or tongs A must for every bar Never use yourhands to scoop ice

Jigger or measuring glass A small glass or metal meas-uring container that usually has a 1frasl2 oz measurer on oneside and a 2 oz measurer on the other

Knife and cutting board You need a small sharp paringknife to cut fruit

I have a few things to say about some of the glasses shown inFigure 1-5

Shot glass You can also use the shot glass as a measur-ing tool Itrsquos a must for every bar

Cocktail or martini glass Perfect for martinis Manhattansstingers and many other classic drinks this glass is avail-able in 3 to 6 oz sizes

White wine glass This glass is available in 5 to 10 ozsizes I advise you to stick with the smaller wine glass

Red wine glass This glass is also available in 5 to 10 ozsizes Note that the bowl is wider than the bowl of awhite wine glass allowing the wine to breathe

Champagne glass The bowl is tapered to prevent bub-bles from escaping

Rocks glass Also known as an old-fashioned glass sizesvary from 5 to 10 oz Use the 5 or 6 oz variety and addplenty of ice

Highball and Collins glasses These glasses are the mostversatile Sizes range from 8 to 12 oz

Cordial glass In addition to cordials you can also usethis glass to serve straight-up drinks

Brandy or cognac snifter Available in a wide range ofsizes the short stemmed large bowl should be cuppedin hand to warm the brandy or cognac

Stemless glasses These glasses have become popular inrecent years probably because they look elegant even ifthey arenrsquot as practical as the stemmed versions

If yoursquore planning on creating a bar at home or serving cock-tails at a party keep your glass selection small You can sim-plify by using two types of glasses a white wine glass and ared wine glass Both are shown in Figure 1-5 These twoglasses can be used for every type of cocktail (includingshots even though I said that a shot glass is essential forevery bar) plus beer and wine Also if you use these two glassshapes cleaning and storing your glasses is less complicated

Methods to the MadnessIn This Chapter Prepping some great garnishes

Mixing it up with style

Popping the champagne

Conjuring up some bar syrup

Making good cocktails takes more effort than just pour-ing ingredients into a glass This chapter shows you

how to pull off some of the little touches that make both youand your drinks look better with the ultimate result of hap-pier guests

Cutting FruitMany drinks require fruit garnishes Your guests expect thegarnish so you canrsquot forgo it and you have to do it wellPresentation counts big time You may mix the best drinks onthe planet but if they donrsquot look good when you serve themno onersquos going to want to drink them

Irsquove stepped away from the pulpit now The next few diagramsand steps show you how to cut the most common garnishes

Lemon twistsFigure 2-1 illustrates the procedure for cutting lemon twists

The outside of the lemon is where the flavor lies When addinga lemon twist to a drink slowly rim the edge of the glass withthe outside of the lemon twist and then twist a drop into thecocktail

Shaking a DrinkThe main reasons for shaking drinks are to chill a cocktailmix ingredients or put a head on some cocktails

As a general rule you should shake all cloudy drinks (includ-ing cream drinks and sours) and you should stir all cleardrinks Never shake a cocktail that has carbonated water orsoda For some drinks such as the stinger or martini askyour guests whether they prefer them shaken or stirred

To shake a cocktail in a Boston shaker follow these steps

1 Put some ice cubes (if called for in the recipe) in theglass container

2 Add the cocktail ingredients

3 Place the metal container over the glass container

4 Hold the metal and glass containers together withboth hands and shake with an up and down motion

Make sure that you always point the shaker away from yourguests This way you avoid spilling anything on them if theshaker isnrsquot properly sealed

The two pieces of the shaker may stick together after youshake a drink Never bang the shaker against the bar or anyother object instead gently tap it three or four times at thepoint where the glass and metal containers come in contact

When pouring or straining the cocktail always pour from theglass container

Opening Wine and ChampagneBottles

Opening bottles doesnrsquot take much skill just a little practiceItrsquos a no-brainer task so if you donrsquot get it right yoursquoll look likea fool

Wine bottlesTo open a wine bottle you want to use a waiterrsquos openerwhich I show you in Chapter 1 Then go through these num-bered steps

1 Using the blade on the opener cut the lead foil or cap-sule at the middle of the bulge near the bottle neck

2 Remove the foil and wipe the bottle top with a cloth toremove any mold or foreign particles

3 Line up the screw or worm directly over the bottleand with gentle downward pressure screw the wormclockwise into the cork

Donrsquot break the end of the cork and screw in justenough to extract the cork

4 Attach the lever of the opener to the lip on top of thebottle and while holding the bottle firmly slowly liftthe cork straight up

5 Wipe the neck of the bottle

6 Present the cork to your guest and pour one ounce ofwine into his or her glass

Part I The Basics 20

06_05056x ch02qxp 83106 754 PM Page 20

If the wine is to your guestrsquos satisfaction pour more Keepyour towel handy to wipe the neck of the bottle as you pourthe wine for other guests

Champagne and sparkling wine bottlesYou donrsquot use a corkscrew when opening sparkling wine bottles

1 Remove the wine hood and foil capsule

2 Hold the bottle at an angle and point it away from youand anyone else (and anything valuable)

3 While holding the cork in one hand twist the bottlewith the other hand and gently remove the corkRemember twist the bottle not the cork

4 Just before the cork is about to pop place a bar towelover the cork and bottle and loosen it the rest of theway (The towel will catch the cork and prevent thecork from becoming a UFO)

Keep another towel handy in case the bottle bubbles overafter you remove the cork To avoid the bubbling donrsquot shakethe bottle before opening

Making Simple SyrupSeveral cocktail recipes call for simple syrup To make it dis-solve one part sugar in one part boiling water and reduce themixture over low heat stirring frequently until it thickens Itshouldnrsquot take more than a couple minutes

Purchasing the right products

Knowing when you have enough

When doing any sort of entertaining one of the biggesthassles is trying to figure how to set up your bar and

how much liquor you need to buy If you throw parties all thetime or if yoursquore trying to plan just one big party this chaptercan help

Some Logistical AdviceBefore I get into what to buy and how much to buy Irsquod like toprovide some tips on how to set up a bar

Directing traffic flowKeep the bar as far as possible from your food and snacksThis prevents large groups of people from staying in one areaIf possible base a wine and beer bar in one area and a cocktailbar in another

Keeping your bar in or near the kitchenCleaning up spills is much easier in your kitchen Whatrsquosmore you do less running around when yoursquore close to thesink and refrigerator If you have to set up your bar in another

07_05056x ch03qxp 83106 752 PM Page 23

location put a small rug or cloth under and behind the bar toprotect the floor or carpet And no matter where your bar isuse a strong steady table to avoid tipping or collapsing

Serving smartlyYour party will run smoothly and your guests will be happy ifyou take the following suggestions to heart

Use nothing larger than a shot glass for shots and donrsquotserve doubles to your guests You arenrsquot doing anyoneany favors by overserving If a recipe calls for 11frasl2 oz ofvodka use just that amount No mixed drink shouldexceed 2 oz of liquor

Use lower proof products if theyrsquore available (SeeChapter 5 for an explanation of proof)

Have punch available for those ldquolightrdquo drinkers

Have alcohol-free drinks available including coffee and tea

Use only clean fresh ice and fresh fruit

If possible chill glasses and donrsquot put them out until fiveminutes before the party begins

When serving hot drinks make sure that the cups orglasses have handles

Use a scoop tongs or a large spoon to serve ice Neveruse your hands

If you donrsquot have bottle pourers rub wax paper over thetip of liquor bottles to prevent dripping

Close the bar one to one-and-a-half hours before the endof the party

If possible hire a professional bartender

What You Need to BuyWhen setting up your home bar always use popular namebrands These brands arenrsquot always the most expensive butthey tend to be the most recognizable

Part II Short Shots from American Whiskey to Wine 44

Some alcohol-related jargonWhen you read about the production of alcoholic beverages you see termslike proof and distillation thrown around Herersquos what they mean

Proof is the strength of an alcoholic beverage In the United States the scaleis 200 degrees with each degree equal to 05 percent alcohol by volume Soa 100-proof spirit is 50 percent alcohol A 200-proof spirit is after-shave or 100percent alcohol

Distillation is the process of converting a liquid by heating it into a gas orvapor which is then condensed back into a liquid form In the case of liquorproduction the liquid is a blend of ingredients that have been fermented sothat it contains some alcohol When you heat this liquid the alcohol it con-tains vaporizes first (because alcohol has a lower boiling point than saywater) So the vapor thatrsquos trapped and later condensed back into a liquid hasa much higher alcohol content than the original liquid Distillation is usuallyperformed by a still There are two basic types

The pot still A copper or copper-lined vessel with a large bottom and along tapered neck connected by a copper pipe to a cooling spiral tubewhich is the condenser As the liquid boils it evaporates The vapor risesup to the condenser cools and returns back to a liquid state with alcoholOften this process is repeated to achieve the right alcohol level

The continuous still Also known as a column still patent still and Coffeystill the continuous still has tall copper columns that continually trickleliquid down over many steam-producing plates The vapor is drawn intovents and condensed A continuous still performs under the same princi-ples as a pot still but can work with a constant flow of materials comingin and going out which is great for mass production

A little historySettlers on the east coast of North America began makingrye whiskey in the 1700s They were mostly immigrants fromScotland England and Northern Ireland and werenrsquot familiarwith corn In the 1790s when the US government imposed atax on distilled spirits the whiskey makers of Pennsylvaniarevolted culminating in the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794President Washington called out federal troops to put downthe rebellion and many distillers fled west to Kentuckywhere the law wasnrsquot imposed quite so strictly

In Kentucky early settlers had already begun making whiskeyfrom corn and the newcomers quickly learned how to use thisAmerican grain to make what would be known as bourbon Itsname came about because it was shipped from Bourbon Countyin Kentucky down to places such as St Louis and New Orleanswhere it soon became known as ldquowhiskey from Bourbonrdquo andeventually bourbon whiskey

Apeacuteritifs Cordialsand Liqueurs

In This Chapter Some tasty before-dinner drinks

A variety of cordials and liqueurs

Serving suggestions

This chapter is a catch-all for a handful of different liquorcategories Apeacuteritifs were developed specifically as pre-

meal beverages Cordials and liqueurs have a variety of pur-poses Some are great mixers others are good after-dinnerdrinks and a few make good apeacuteritifs as well Go figure

Apeacuteritifs Great Ways to WhetYour Appetite

Apeacuteritif comes from the Latin word aperire meaning to openAn apeacuteritif is usually any type of drink you would have before ameal Most apeacuteritifs are usually low in alcohol and mild tasting

You can drink many of the cordials and liqueurs listed later inthis chapter as apeacuteritifs as well I donrsquot have much more tosay about apeacuteritifs other than to talk about the individualproducts that are available such as the following

Amer Picon (French) A blend of African oranges gen-tian root quinine bark and some alcohol Usually servedwith club soda or seltzer water with lemon

Cordials and LiqueursCordial comes from the Latin word cor meaning heart andliqueur is derived from the Latin meaning melt or dissolveBoth words are interchangeable although liqueurs are morepopular in Europe and cordials are more popular in theUnited States From this point on Irsquoll use the word cordial todescribe both

Part II Short Shots from American Whiskey to Wine 52

11_05056x ch06qxp 83106 753 PM Page 52

Cordials are made by infusing the flavor of fruits herbs spicesand other plants with a spirit such as brandy or whiskey Asyoursquoll discover from the list later in this chapter cordials comein many different varieties Most are sweet In fact cordials soldin the United States contain up to 35 percent sugar and mustcontain a minimum of 25 percent sugar by weight

Within the cordial category are cregravemes and fruit-flavoredbrandies Cregravemes have a high sugar content which makesthem well creamy Usually the name of such a cordial indi-cates what it tastes like Cregraveme de banana tastes like bananasand apricot brandy tastes like apricots

There are more cordials in the world than any one personcan list What I try to do here is describe the ones that yoursquorelikely to see in the recipes in this book Someone somewhereprobably makes a soy-sauce-and-aloe-flavored cordial andmaybe it tastes great but nobody I know is ever going to askfor it so Irsquom not going to list it Instead I give you the followingcommon cordials

BeerIn This Chapter Mixing and mashing corn grits and malt

Knowing the lineup of beer types

Avoiding the sun and keeping it cool

Basically beer is an alcoholic beverage thatrsquos fermented and brewed from rice barley corn hops water and yeast

Beer has been brewed for thousands of years beginning withthe Egyptians Today thousands of different varieties of beer areenjoyed throughout the world The United States has more than900 microbrews (made by small independent brewers) aloneGermany brags of having over 1200 breweries

Beer enjoys the distinction of coming to the Americas on the Mayflower and in fact seems to have played a part in the Pilgrimsrsquo decision to land at Plymouth Rock instead of farther south as intended A journal written by one of the passengers mdash which is now in the US Library of Congress mdashstates in an entry from 1620 that the Mayflower landed atPlymouth because ldquowe could not now take time for furthersearch or consideration our victuals being much spent espe-cially our beer rdquo

The first commercial brewery in America was founded in NewAmsterdam (New York City) in 1613 Many patriots owned theirown breweries among them General Israel Putnam and WilliamPenn Thomas Jefferson was also interested in brewing andmade beer at Monticello George Washington even had hisown brew house on the grounds of Mount Vernon and hishandwritten recipe for beer mdash dated 1757 and taken fromhis diary mdash is still preserved

12_05056x ch07qxp 83106 753 PM Page 61

How Beer Is MadeThe beer brewing process begins with pure water corn gritsand malted barley Malted barley is the basic ingredient andis often referred to as the ldquosoul of beerrdquo It contributes to thecolor and characteristic flavor of beer What does maltedmean It means that the barley has been steeped or soakedin water and allowed to germinate or grow Brewing beer is astep-by-step process

1 The corn grits and malt are cooked and blended tocreate mash

2 A sugary liquid called wort is extracted from themash (The remaining solid portion of the mash thebrewerrsquos grain is sold as feed)

3 The wort is transferred to the brew kettles where itrsquosboiled and hops are added Hops are responsible forthe rich aroma and the delicate bitterness in beer

4 The wort then moves to the wort cooler

5 Yeast which converts sugar into alcohol and carbondioxide and sterile air are added next and the wortmoves to fermentation tanks for a carefully controlledtime period

Two different types of yeast can be used bottom and top

Bottom yeast settles to the bottom of the tank after con-verting all the sugar and the resulting beer is a lager

Top yeast rises to the top of the tank when itrsquos done withthe sugar and the beer it produces is an ale

Types of BeerYoursquove probably seen some of the following terms on beerlabels or maybe yoursquove heard them in beer commercials

Ale is top-fermented beer Itrsquos a little bitter usually tasteshoppy and has a higher alcohol content

Part II Short Shots from American Whiskey to Wine 62

12_05056x ch07qxp 83106 753 PM Page 62

Bitter beer is a strong ale usually English with a higherthan normal alcohol content and as the name implies abittersweet taste

Bock beer is a dark strong slightly sweet lager beerbrewed from caramelized malt

Ice beer is brewed at colder than normal temperaturesand then chilled to below freezing forming crystals Thecrystals are filtered out leaving a smoother tasting beerwith a slightly higher alcohol content

Lager is a bottom-fermented beer stored at very low(cold) temperatures for a long period of time (severalmonths) The word lager is German for to store

Lambic beer is brewed in Belgium Ingredients such aspeaches raspberries cherries and wheat are addedduring the brewing process

Light beer has fewer calories and less alcohol

Malt liquor is fermented at a higher temperature thanother beers which results in a higher alcohol content

Pilsner is a light hoppy dry lager

Sake is beer brewed and processed from rice (Some consider sake a wine) Sake is served warm or at roomtemperature

Stout is an ale produced from heavily roasted barley Itrsquosdarker in color and has a slightly bitter flavor

Trappist beer is brewed in Belgium or the Netherlands byTrappist monks It contains high levels of alcohol and isusually dark in color

Wheat beer is made as you might expect with wheat Itrsquosusually garnished with a lemon and sometimes raspberrysyrup

Storing and Serving SuggestionsIn the United States beer is served cold (40 degreesFahrenheit) Lower temperatures tend to dull the taste soconsider 40 degrees the lower limit Store beer away from sunlight or yoursquoll have skunked beer which is never pleasant

The solera methodThe solera method of making brandy is comprised of three aging stages

1 The wine spirits are blended and placed for some months in barrels

2 Half of the brandy in each barrel is then blended in another barrel con-taining older brandy

3 Finally half of that barrel is placed in yet another barrel containing evenolder brandy

Cognac and ArmagnacIn This Chapter Finding out about where theyrsquore made

Deciphering the designations on labels

What the well-known brands are

Finishing a meal with a warm drink

France produces two kinds of brandy cognac and arma-gnac Both are named after the region in which theyrsquore

made and both are delicious

CognacCognac can be produced only in the legally defined regionof Cognac France located between the Atlantic and MassifCentral specifically at the junction between the oceanic andcontinental climate zones The region also straddles the divid-ing line between northern and southern climates These fourinfluences create a multitude of microclimates In addition tothe unique climate the soil characteristics also foster a rangeof wine and consequently the cognac of each region In 1909the French government passed a law that only brandy producedin the ldquodelimited areardquo surrounding the town of Cognac can becalled cognac

How itrsquos madeThe arduous time-honored distilling and aging process iswhat makes cognac so special The cognac you drink today

14_05056x ch09qxp 83106 753 PM Page 69

was produced using methods dating back to the 17th centuryThe distillation of cognac is a two-stage process

1 A first distillate known as brouillis is obtained withan alcoholic strength of 28 to 32 percent

2 The brouillis is returned to the boiler for a secondheating which produces a liquid known as la bonnechauffe In this second distillation the beginning andthe end of distillation (the head and tail) are discardedleaving only the heart of the spirit which becomescognac

The cognac is then sent to rest in oak casks made from woodfrom the Limousin and Troncais forests

Maturing slowly over long years in cellars the cognac acquiresa smoothness and flavor beyond compare The wood and thedark saturated atmosphere of the cellars work together todevelop the aroma of the cognac to its full potential Allcognac is aged a minimum of 30 months

What are all those letters onthe labelWhen you shop for cognac you see all kinds of designationson the labels of various brands mdash for example CourvoisierVS Martell VSOP and Remy Martin XO The letters andphrases after the brand name are a general indication of theage (and in turn expensiveness) of the cognac

Every major brand produces cognacs of different ages Whenone of the following designations is used it indicates the ageof the youngest cognac used in the blend that makes upwhatrsquos in the bottle

VS (Very Superior) or Three Stars The cognac is agedless than 41frasl2 years

VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) The cognac has agedbetween 41frasl2 and 61frasl2 years Sometimes called VO (VeryOld) or Reserve

XO (Extremely Old) Napoleon Hors drsquoage VSSOPCordon Bleu Grand Reserve and Royal The cognachas aged at least 51frasl2 years and up to 40 years

14_05056x ch09qxp 83106 753 PM Page 70

Generally speaking each cognac producer uses blends thatare much older than the minimum required In the most pres-tigious cognacs some of the blends may have matured overseveral decades

Yoursquore also going to see some of these names on the labels

Grand Fine Champagne or Grande Champagne Theseidentify cognacs made exclusively from grapes grown inthe Grande Champagne region of Cognac

Petite Fine Champagne or Petite Champagne Thesenames mean that the cognac is a blend made from grapesgrown in the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagnesections of Cognac At least 50 percent of the blend mustbe from grapes grown in the Grande Champagne Region

The terms fine cognac and grande fine which may also appearon cognac labels have no legally defined meaning The desig-nations extra old (EO) and very old pale (VOP) are not offi-cially recognized by the Bureau du Cognac which makes upall the names and rules

You wonrsquot see vintage dates on cognac labels because in 1963the French passed a law prohibiting the placement of vintagelabels on cognac bottles Go figure

Popular brandsEven though all cognacs are produced in the same region andeven though every brand seems to have the same jumble of agedesignations on their labels you may be surprised at the degreeof distinctiveness among the brands Some brands have a strongroom-filling aroma some have a mild grape flavor others have

distinct character itrsquos also equally true to say that each brandof Irish whiskey is a unique product

What Makes Irish Whiskey Taste So Yummy

Irish whiskey is triple distilled from barley and other grains inpot stills and aged between five and ten years One major dif-ference between Scotch and Irish whiskey is that when dryingthe barley malt from which the whiskey is to be distilled theIrish use coal instead of peat which prevents the smokyflavor found in Scotch whisky

Whatrsquos more Irish whiskey also gains a great deal of flavorfrom the casks in which itrsquos aged Depending on the brandIrish whiskey is aged in casks that have held sherry rum orbourbon

For centuries the Irish produced an illegal distilled spiritcalled potcheen (po-cheen) a colorless unaged spirit thatrsquoshigh in alcohol content and similar to white lightning in thesouthern United States But as of March 17 1997 itrsquos legal andbeing produced and sold in Ireland and the rest of the world

Rum is a spirit distilled from sugar cane It comes in lightand dark varieties and is an ingredient in hundreds of

cocktail recipes

Rummaging through Rum History

Caribbean rum has been exported out of the islands for hun-dreds of years linked to the tropical and subtropical climateswhere sugar cane thrives It was Christopher Columbus him-self who first brought sugar cane to the Caribbean from theAzores But the origins of rum are far more ancient datingback most experts say more than 2000 years

Sugar cane grew like a weed in parts of southern China andIndia and Alexander the Great after conquering Indiabrought with him to Egypt ldquothe weed that gives honey withoutthe help of beesrdquo The Islamic people from the Middle Agesknown as the Saracens passed on their knowledge of distillingsugar cane to the Moors who made arak a cane-based proto-rum and planted sugar cane in Europe sometime after 636 AD

17_05056x ch12qxp 83106 753 PM Page 83

Columbus brought sugar cane to Puerto Rico on his secondvoyage in 1493 Later Ponce de Leoacuten the first Spanish gover-nor of the island planted the first cane fields in Puerto Ricowhich were soon to become vital to the local economy and tothe worldrsquos palate for fine spirits Some historians speculatethat Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos legendary search for a mythical fountainof youth was in fact a much more practical search for asource of pure water to use in his distillation of rum

The first sugar mill a precursor to the Puerto Rican rumindustry was built in 1524 when the product of cane distilla-tion was called brebaje the word rum being a later additionbrought by crusading English seamen

The popularity of rum continued to spread during the early19th century Distilleries prospered and grew in Puerto RicoIn 1893 the first modern column still was introduced toPuerto Rico With this innovation the foundation was laid forthe island to produce a more refined smoother-tasting rum ata dramatically increased pace Distilleries relocated from vastoutlying sugar plantations to more accessible sites and soonbecame centrally organized and managed The first PuertoRican rum for export to the continental US was shipped in1897 mdash some 18000 gallons

During the prohibition period of the US most Puerto Ricanrum distillers stayed in business mdash not by being rumrunnersbut by producing industrial alcohol When prohibition endedin 1934 Puerto Rico refocused on the potential of the Americanliquor market and slowly began to rebuild its shipments toUS ports It soon took steps to upgrade its rum productionand through special government funding and research cata-pulted the islandrsquos rum to the forefront of the worldrsquos rum production

With the onset of World War II manufacturers of US distilledspirits were ordered to limit their production and manufac-ture of industrial alcohol for the war effort However becausethe territorial mandate didnrsquot apply to Puerto Rico demandfor Puerto Rican rum increased Sales were phenomenalthroughout the war years with rum and Coke being thenational drink during World War II In 1952 about 100 differentbrands of Puerto Rican Rum were on the market Today thereare just 12

Scotch WhiskyIn This Chapter Regional variations

Peat and barley A match made in heaven

How to savor your Scotch

Scotch whisky (spelled without the e in whiskey) has a dis-tinctive smoky flavor thatrsquos the result of both the choice

of ingredients and the method of distillation

Scotch whisky must be distilled in Scotland mdash but not neces-sarily bottled in Scotland Some Scotch whiskies are bottled inother countries but distilled in Scotland

Types of Scotch WhiskyTwo kinds of Scotch whisky are distilled malt whisky (frombarley) and grain whisky (from cereals) Malt whiskies aredivided into four groups according to the geographical loca-tion of the distilleries in which theyrsquore made Figure 13-1shows the four main areas of Scotch production

Lowland malt whiskies Made south of an imaginary linedrawn from Dundee in the east to Greenock in the west

Highland malt whiskies Made north of the aforemen-tioned line

Speyside malt whiskies Made in the valley of the RiverSpey Although these whiskies come from within the areadesignated as Highland malt whiskies the concentration

18_05056x ch13qxp 83106 754 PM Page 89

of distilleries and the specific climatic conditions inSpeyside produce whiskies of an identifiable characterwhich enjoys a separate classification

Each group has its own clearly defined characteristics rang-ing from the lighter-flavored gentle Lowland whiskies to thosedistilled on Islay which are generally regarded as the heaviestmalt whiskies

Grain distilleries are mostly found in the central belt of Scotlandnear the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh Single grain whiskiesdisplay individual characteristics in the same way as maltsalthough the geographical influence isnrsquot the same

Married together malt whiskies and grain whiskies createblended Scotch whisky which accounts for 95 percent ofworld sales As you may expect from the name a single-maltScotch whisky is made from one type of malt and itrsquos notblended with other malts or grain whiskies

How Scotch Is MadeScotch whisky made from malts dates back to 1494 to FriarJohn Cor and his fellow friars Until the mid-1800s nearly allScotches were single-malt Then Andrew Usher came up withthe idea of mixing malt whisky and grain whisky to createblended Scotch whisky There can be many (up to 50) differ-ent types of malt whiskies blended with grain whisky (fromcereals) to make a blended whisky

1 The first stage of making Scotch whisky is the malting ofbarley The barley is soaked and dried for germinationDuring this period the starch in the barley converts tofermentable sugar

2 To stop the germination the malted barley is smokedusually over peat fires in open malt kilns giving Scotchwhisky its smoky taste

3 Then the barley is mixed with water and yeastFermentation takes place and alcohol is the resultThis liquid is then usually pumped into stills anddouble-distilled until the correct proof is attained

4 After distillation the whisky is placed in used Americanoak wine or bourbon barrels and then aged by law for aminimum of three years Most Scotch whiskies usuallyage from five to ten years sometimes much longer Itrsquossaid that the longer a whisky ages the smoother itbecomes

Whisky doesnrsquot improve with age after itrsquos bottled

After aging in the barrel each distiller then completes its ownblending filtering and bottling There are more than 100 dis-tilleries and more than 2000 different Scotch whiskies

Remember whisky can only be called Scotch whisky if itrsquos dis-tilled and matured for at least three years in Scotland

popular beverage and mezcal is famous for the worm in thebottle

TequilaTequila can be traced back to AD 1000 and the Aztecs It wasa milky drink from the agave plants known as pulque

Since the 17th century and now by Mexican law all tequilacomes from a certain area known as Tequila within the stateof Jaliso In this dry volcanic soil of the foothills of the SierraMadre you can find the home of Tequilarsquos largest producers

Tequila is produced from the heart of one species of agaveplant the Agave tequilana Weber or the blue variety Thisheart is known as the pina (head) usually weighing between80 and 150 pounds The pina is steamed and shredded untilthe aguamiel (juice) runs off This juice is then mixed withcane sugar and yeast and fermented for two to three daysThe fermented juice is double-distilled in traditional copperpot stills to 90 proof or higher Tequila must contain a mini-mum of 51 percent distillate from the blue agave plant

Messinrsquo with MezcalThe process of making mezcal hasnrsquot changed much since theSpanish arrived in Mexico in the early 1800s and brought withthem distillation technologies The Aztecs near the mountaintopsettlement of Monte Alban in Oaxaca had cultivated a certainspecies of agave plant for juice which they fermented intowhat they called pulque The Spaniards wanting somethingmuch more potent began to experiment with agave

Mezcal like tequila is made from the agave plant but theprocess is different Whatrsquos more while tequila is made exclusively in the northwestern state of Jalisco mezcalis exclusive to Oaxaca

Mezcal has a high potency and strong smoky flavor Distillersinsist that the drink has medicinal and tonic qualities In Mexicotribal women drink mezcal to withstand the pain of childbirthand laborers drink it for added strength

The famous wormWorms live in the agave plant and are hand-harvested duringthe rainy summer season Theyrsquore stored in mezcal drainedand sorted and placed in bottles near the end of the processThe worm is what makes mezcal unique itrsquos added as areminder that it comes from the plant from which the alcoholis made

Apocryphal legends note that the worm gives strength toanyone brave enough to gulp it down Some even believeit acts as an aphrodisiac Like the drink itself the worm issomething of an acquired taste

A few brandsThe number of mezcal brands is much smaller than thenumber of tequila brands Here are a few

The type of grape determines the type of wine and only cer-tain types of grapes grow in certain climates To make matterseven more complicated the soil of a particular region plays abig role in how its grapes will turn out So while the climate incertain regions of California and France may be perfect forsay chardonnay grapes the soil in those regions affects thegrapes to the point that the resulting wines from each regionare different

Sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France iscalled of course champagne It is made with a mix of differentgrapes (including pinot noir pinot meunier and chardonnay)through a process called meacutethod champenoise which is quitecostly and time-consuming Sparkling wines from other placesin the world are made in different ways with different grapesBut you can find sparkling wines from places such as Californiathat are made using the meacutethod champenoise

Champagne and other sparkling wines should be stored in acool dark place away from heat light vibrations and severetemperature variations Unlike the best wines from Bordeauxor California sparkling wines are ready for consumption whentheyrsquore shipped to the market However some wine-loversalso enjoy cellaring their champagnes for a few extra years

Before serving chill the wine well but donrsquot freeze itPlacing the bottle in a bucket filled with ice and water for30 to 40 minutes is the best way to chill champagne You canalso chill a bottle by refrigerating it for several hours butdonrsquot keep bottles in the fridge for extended periods of timeThe excessive cold and the vibration of the motor will causethe flavor to go a little flat

Champagne is best served in tall flute or tulip glasses at atemperature of 42 to 47 degrees Fahrenheit Tiny bubbleswill rise in a continuous stream When serving pour a smallquantity of champagne into each glass and allow it to settleThen fill each glass two-thirds full

What twisted genius createdLong Island Iced Tea

This drink does hail from Long Island specifically the Oak Beach Inn inHampton Bays Spirits writer John Mariani credits bartender Robert (Rosebud)Butt as the inventor whose original recipe called for an ounce each of clearliquors (vodka gin tequila light rum) a half ounce of triple sec some lemonjuice and a splash of cola

This drink comes in many forms and is still popular with young drinkers thoughnot with those who have to get up early the next day

Mai Tai Out of this worldVic Bergeron invented the Mai Tai in 1944 at his Polynesian-style Oakland barHe didnrsquot want fruit juices detracting from the two ounces of J Wray NephewJamaican rum he poured as the base for his creation He merely added a halfounce of French orgeat (an almond-flavored syrup) a half ounce of orange cura-cao a quarter ounce of rock candy syrup and the juice of one lime CustomerCarrie Wright of Tahiti the first to taste the concoction responded ldquoMai tai roe aerdquo (Tahitian for ldquoOut of this world the bestrdquo)

The Mai Tai became famous and conflicting stories about its origins aggra-vated Bergeron so much that he elicited a sworn statement from Mrs Wrightin 1970 testifying to his authorship of the cocktail

ldquoMartinirdquo MadnessIn This Chapter Following the latest trend

Mixing a few martinis

Whatrsquos with all the martinis these days I get new recipessubmitted to me all the time and every day I hear

about these trendy new martinis that look like nothing morethan pink Kool-Aid in a dressed-up cocktail glass

The truth of the matter is that a real martini is simply a coupleounces of ice-cold gin (or vodka if gin isnrsquot your thing) with adash of vermouth Some people like more or less vermouththan others (or none at all) and some people prefer an oliveor a twist of lemon or even a pearl onion for a garnish Butthatrsquos really about it when it comes to martini variations as faras Irsquom concerned

Ultimately the martinis in this chapter are just cocktails likeany other but theyrsquore called martinis because theyrsquore servedin a martini glass Itrsquos trendy In a few years something elsewill be trendy At one time people drank cocktails with raweggs in them because they were popular Tab and Fresca usedto be popular In five years something else will be popularWhat are you gonna do

So anyway I tried to pick out around 30 interesting or trendyldquomartinisrdquo that actually taste good and are worth drinkingEnjoy

Chapter 21

At Least Ten Cures and Lores

In This Chapter Getting rid of your hiccups

What to do if you have a hangover

Part of being a bartender is settling arguments mendingbroken hearts and curing two primary medicinal prob-

lems hiccups and hangovers

HiccupsThe rapid closure of the vocal cords that follows the involun-tary contraction of the diaphragm causes hiccups (When youput it this way hiccups donrsquot seem nearly as embarrassing asmost people consider them) See the list of cures that follows

Slice a lemon and remove the pits Top the slices withsugar and Angostura bitters and eat the whole thingThis is the sure cure

Mix Angostura bitters and club soda and sip slowly

Drink a glass of water backwards This can be a reallywet cure

Hold your nose and breathe through your mouth Thencount to 10 or 20 or count to 100 to be certain

Blow into a paper bag

29_05056x ch21qxp 83106 755 PM Page 317

HangoversCause Take a guess

Cures Only a few cures really work

A little prevention Donrsquot overindulge or let yourself beoverserved (Someone told me once that even in modera-tion I am excessive)

Sleep Drink plenty of fluids (water-based not alcohol-based) Get some peace and quiet

Consider a few more possible cures

Drink two ounces Fernet Branca or Fernet Branca Menta(Italian digestives) on the rocks

Drink one small bottle of Underberg (a German digestive)

From my friends in Puerto Rico (Gere and Linda) rub ahalf of a lemon under each armpit

Drink a bottle of flat beer left out open overnight

Hair of the Dog One shot of whatever you were drinking

Introduction

When you hear the words ldquoSet rsquoem up Joerdquo you betterhave at least a basic knowledge of over 200 of the most

called-for cocktails in your head I say cocktails because a cock-tail is according to Webster ldquoany of various alcoholic drinksmade of a distilled liquor mixed with a wine fruit juice etcand usually icedrdquo

About This BookThis book is a reference that you can read now and refer tomany years from now Donrsquot feel at all compelled to read thething from cover to cover I would guess that yoursquoll mostly usethis book for recipes and the best place to find them is the Ato Z recipe section (Chapter 17) which is by far the largestsection of the book Drinks are also listed by their ingredientsin the index

This book has a complete table of contents and another indexof topics Feel free to use both to find whatever informationyou need

Foolish AssumptionsYou donrsquot need any special knowledge of liquor or mixology tounderstand this book Having an interest in creating crowd-pleasing cocktails is definitely a plus and having the patienceto get recipes just right doesnrsquot hurt either Good bartendersare always trying new things in the interest of serving thetastiest beverages

03_05056x introqxp 83106 755 PM Page 1

A bartender cannot be made overnight though and a headfull of recipes and facts will get you only so far You need expe-rience and you must respect and like people If you arenrsquot apeople person all the great information in this book wonrsquotmake you a bartender

As a bartender for over 20 years I always enjoyed the atmos-phere and people in bars and restaurants They are there torelax and have fun My job was to serve and be a part of theentertainment to make the guests feel at home and relaxednever to be overbearing or intruding So a good attitude and alot of experience are key From here on in Irsquom going to assumethat you have the former and are working on the latter Yoursquorea good person especially because you bought this book

How This Book Is OrganizedLike all For Dummies books this book is organized into partsand chapters Each chapter is self-contained so that you donrsquothave to read them in order Feel free to skip around Herersquoswhatrsquos in each of the bookrsquos four parts

I use this symbol in Part III to indicate classic drinks thatevery bartender should know

Where to Go from HereLook up some recipes Read about Irish whiskey Check outone of my hangover cures This book was designed so thatyou can jump around

When it comes to the recipes I do have this bit of advice I rec-ommend that you use only the best ingredients when makingcocktails They represent your opinion of your guests and youwant them to have the best In some drinks you can get bywith the cheap stuff but in this day and age people are drink-ing less and demanding higher quality You canrsquot go wrongwhen you serve the good stuff so why serve anything else

That said get reading and start pouring

05_05056x ch01qxp 83106 754 PM Page 7

Ice bucket Pick one thatrsquos large enough to hold at leastthree trays of ice

I have a few things to say about some of the glasses shown inFigure 1-5

Shot glass You can also use the shot glass as a measur-ing tool Itrsquos a must for every bar

Cocktail or martini glass Perfect for martinis Manhattansstingers and many other classic drinks this glass is avail-able in 3 to 6 oz sizes

White wine glass This glass is available in 5 to 10 ozsizes I advise you to stick with the smaller wine glass

Red wine glass This glass is also available in 5 to 10 ozsizes Note that the bowl is wider than the bowl of awhite wine glass allowing the wine to breathe

Champagne glass The bowl is tapered to prevent bub-bles from escaping

Rocks glass Also known as an old-fashioned glass sizesvary from 5 to 10 oz Use the 5 or 6 oz variety and addplenty of ice

Highball and Collins glasses These glasses are the mostversatile Sizes range from 8 to 12 oz

Cordial glass In addition to cordials you can also usethis glass to serve straight-up drinks

Brandy or cognac snifter Available in a wide range ofsizes the short stemmed large bowl should be cuppedin hand to warm the brandy or cognac

Stemless glasses These glasses have become popular inrecent years probably because they look elegant even ifthey arenrsquot as practical as the stemmed versions

If yoursquore planning on creating a bar at home or serving cock-tails at a party keep your glass selection small You can sim-plify by using two types of glasses a white wine glass and ared wine glass Both are shown in Figure 1-5 These twoglasses can be used for every type of cocktail (includingshots even though I said that a shot glass is essential forevery bar) plus beer and wine Also if you use these two glassshapes cleaning and storing your glasses is less complicated

how to pull off some of the little touches that make both youand your drinks look better with the ultimate result of hap-pier guests

Cutting FruitMany drinks require fruit garnishes Your guests expect thegarnish so you canrsquot forgo it and you have to do it wellPresentation counts big time You may mix the best drinks onthe planet but if they donrsquot look good when you serve themno onersquos going to want to drink them

Lemon twistsFigure 2-1 illustrates the procedure for cutting lemon twists

06_05056x ch02qxp 83106 754 PM Page 15

2 Insert a sharp knife or spoon between the rind andmeat of the lemon and carefully separate them

Shaking a DrinkThe main reasons for shaking drinks are to chill a cocktailmix ingredients or put a head on some cocktails

As a general rule you should shake all cloudy drinks (includ-ing cream drinks and sours) and you should stir all cleardrinks Never shake a cocktail that has carbonated water orsoda For some drinks such as the stinger or martini askyour guests whether they prefer them shaken or stirred

To shake a cocktail in a Boston shaker follow these steps

1 Put some ice cubes (if called for in the recipe) in theglass container

2 Add the cocktail ingredients

3 Place the metal container over the glass container

4 Hold the metal and glass containers together withboth hands and shake with an up and down motion

Make sure that you always point the shaker away from yourguests This way you avoid spilling anything on them if theshaker isnrsquot properly sealed

The two pieces of the shaker may stick together after youshake a drink Never bang the shaker against the bar or anyother object instead gently tap it three or four times at thepoint where the glass and metal containers come in contact

When pouring or straining the cocktail always pour from theglass container

Opening Wine and ChampagneBottles

Opening bottles doesnrsquot take much skill just a little practiceItrsquos a no-brainer task so if you donrsquot get it right yoursquoll look likea fool

Wine bottlesTo open a wine bottle you want to use a waiterrsquos openerwhich I show you in Chapter 1 Then go through these num-bered steps

1 Using the blade on the opener cut the lead foil or cap-sule at the middle of the bulge near the bottle neck

2 Remove the foil and wipe the bottle top with a cloth toremove any mold or foreign particles

3 Line up the screw or worm directly over the bottleand with gentle downward pressure screw the wormclockwise into the cork

Donrsquot break the end of the cork and screw in justenough to extract the cork

4 Attach the lever of the opener to the lip on top of thebottle and while holding the bottle firmly slowly liftthe cork straight up

5 Wipe the neck of the bottle

6 Present the cork to your guest and pour one ounce ofwine into his or her glass

Part I The Basics 20

06_05056x ch02qxp 83106 754 PM Page 20

If the wine is to your guestrsquos satisfaction pour more Keepyour towel handy to wipe the neck of the bottle as you pourthe wine for other guests

Champagne and sparkling wine bottlesYou donrsquot use a corkscrew when opening sparkling wine bottles

1 Remove the wine hood and foil capsule

2 Hold the bottle at an angle and point it away from youand anyone else (and anything valuable)

3 While holding the cork in one hand twist the bottlewith the other hand and gently remove the corkRemember twist the bottle not the cork

4 Just before the cork is about to pop place a bar towelover the cork and bottle and loosen it the rest of theway (The towel will catch the cork and prevent thecork from becoming a UFO)

Keep another towel handy in case the bottle bubbles overafter you remove the cork To avoid the bubbling donrsquot shakethe bottle before opening

Making Simple SyrupSeveral cocktail recipes call for simple syrup To make it dis-solve one part sugar in one part boiling water and reduce themixture over low heat stirring frequently until it thickens Itshouldnrsquot take more than a couple minutes

Setting Up Your Home BarIn This Chapter Aiming to please your guests

Purchasing the right products

Knowing when you have enough

When doing any sort of entertaining one of the biggesthassles is trying to figure how to set up your bar and

how much liquor you need to buy If you throw parties all thetime or if yoursquore trying to plan just one big party this chaptercan help

Some Logistical AdviceBefore I get into what to buy and how much to buy Irsquod like toprovide some tips on how to set up a bar

Directing traffic flowKeep the bar as far as possible from your food and snacksThis prevents large groups of people from staying in one areaIf possible base a wine and beer bar in one area and a cocktailbar in another

Keeping your bar in or near the kitchenCleaning up spills is much easier in your kitchen Whatrsquosmore you do less running around when yoursquore close to thesink and refrigerator If you have to set up your bar in another

07_05056x ch03qxp 83106 752 PM Page 23

location put a small rug or cloth under and behind the bar toprotect the floor or carpet And no matter where your bar isuse a strong steady table to avoid tipping or collapsing

Serving smartlyYour party will run smoothly and your guests will be happy ifyou take the following suggestions to heart

Use nothing larger than a shot glass for shots and donrsquotserve doubles to your guests You arenrsquot doing anyoneany favors by overserving If a recipe calls for 11frasl2 oz ofvodka use just that amount No mixed drink shouldexceed 2 oz of liquor

Use lower proof products if theyrsquore available (SeeChapter 5 for an explanation of proof)

Have punch available for those ldquolightrdquo drinkers

Have alcohol-free drinks available including coffee and tea

Use only clean fresh ice and fresh fruit

If possible chill glasses and donrsquot put them out until fiveminutes before the party begins

When serving hot drinks make sure that the cups orglasses have handles

Use a scoop tongs or a large spoon to serve ice Neveruse your hands

If you donrsquot have bottle pourers rub wax paper over thetip of liquor bottles to prevent dripping

Close the bar one to one-and-a-half hours before the endof the party

If possible hire a professional bartender

What You Need to BuyWhen setting up your home bar always use popular namebrands These brands arenrsquot always the most expensive butthey tend to be the most recognizable

Part I The Basics 24

07_05056x ch03qxp 83106 752 PM Page 24

The basic setupA basic bar setup for your home and for spur-of-the-momententertaining should consist of the following

Four 750 ml bottles of white domestic wine

Two 750 ml bottles of red domestic wine

The approximate cost to set up this bar is between $200 and$250 US dollars using domestic and local brands If yoursquoregoing to use premium brands add 20 to 30 percent

I recommend that you use mostly premium brands You donrsquotwant your guests thinking that yoursquod serve them anything butthe best

How Whiskey Is MadeWhiskey is distilled from grain The type of grain or grains useddetermines the type of whiskey After the grain is harvested itrsquosinspected and stored Itrsquos then ground into a meal and cookedto separate the starch malt is added changing the starch tosugar This mash is cooled and pumped into fermenters Yeastis added to the mash and allowed to ferment resulting in a mixture of grain residue water yeast cells and alcohol Thismixture is then pumped into a still where heat vaporizes thealcohol The alcohol vapors are caught cooled condensed anddrawn off This new high-proof spirit is stored in large holdingtanks Water is added to lower the proof and the whiskey isdrawn into barrels The barrels of whiskey are stored in a rackhouse for aging After aging the barrels of whiskey are drainedinto the tanks that feed the bottling line In the case of blendedwhiskey (including Canadian) different whiskies are mixedtogether and the grain spirits or other whiskies are added

BourbonBourbon is the best known and probably the most popularwhiskey produced in the United States It has an amber colorand a slightly sweet flavor By law straight bourbon must bemade from at least 51 percent corn and it must be aged inbrand new charred oak barrels for at least two yearsAlthough Tennessee whiskey doesnrsquot have to be made thisway both Tennessee distilleries mdash George Dickel and JackDanielrsquos mdash also follow these guidelines After aging only pure

Some alcohol-related jargonWhen you read about the production of alcoholic beverages you see termslike proof and distillation thrown around Herersquos what they mean

Proof is the strength of an alcoholic beverage In the United States the scaleis 200 degrees with each degree equal to 05 percent alcohol by volume Soa 100-proof spirit is 50 percent alcohol A 200-proof spirit is after-shave or 100percent alcohol

Distillation is the process of converting a liquid by heating it into a gas orvapor which is then condensed back into a liquid form In the case of liquorproduction the liquid is a blend of ingredients that have been fermented sothat it contains some alcohol When you heat this liquid the alcohol it con-tains vaporizes first (because alcohol has a lower boiling point than saywater) So the vapor thatrsquos trapped and later condensed back into a liquid hasa much higher alcohol content than the original liquid Distillation is usuallyperformed by a still There are two basic types

The pot still A copper or copper-lined vessel with a large bottom and along tapered neck connected by a copper pipe to a cooling spiral tubewhich is the condenser As the liquid boils it evaporates The vapor risesup to the condenser cools and returns back to a liquid state with alcoholOften this process is repeated to achieve the right alcohol level

The continuous still Also known as a column still patent still and Coffeystill the continuous still has tall copper columns that continually trickleliquid down over many steam-producing plates The vapor is drawn intovents and condensed A continuous still performs under the same princi-ples as a pot still but can work with a constant flow of materials comingin and going out which is great for mass production

water can be added to reduce the barrel proof strength to bottling (selling) proof Scotch Canadian whiskies and Irishwhiskies can have added caramel coloring but bourbon canrsquot

A little historySettlers on the east coast of North America began makingrye whiskey in the 1700s They were mostly immigrants fromScotland England and Northern Ireland and werenrsquot familiarwith corn In the 1790s when the US government imposed atax on distilled spirits the whiskey makers of Pennsylvaniarevolted culminating in the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794President Washington called out federal troops to put downthe rebellion and many distillers fled west to Kentuckywhere the law wasnrsquot imposed quite so strictly

In Kentucky early settlers had already begun making whiskeyfrom corn and the newcomers quickly learned how to use thisAmerican grain to make what would be known as bourbon Itsname came about because it was shipped from Bourbon Countyin Kentucky down to places such as St Louis and New Orleanswhere it soon became known as ldquowhiskey from Bourbonrdquo andeventually bourbon whiskey

BeerIn This Chapter Mixing and mashing corn grits and malt

Knowing the lineup of beer types

Avoiding the sun and keeping it cool

Basically beer is an alcoholic beverage thatrsquos fermented and brewed from rice barley corn hops water and yeast

Beer has been brewed for thousands of years beginning withthe Egyptians Today thousands of different varieties of beer areenjoyed throughout the world The United States has more than900 microbrews (made by small independent brewers) aloneGermany brags of having over 1200 breweries

Beer enjoys the distinction of coming to the Americas on the Mayflower and in fact seems to have played a part in the Pilgrimsrsquo decision to land at Plymouth Rock instead of farther south as intended A journal written by one of the passengers mdash which is now in the US Library of Congress mdashstates in an entry from 1620 that the Mayflower landed atPlymouth because ldquowe could not now take time for furthersearch or consideration our victuals being much spent espe-cially our beer rdquo

The first commercial brewery in America was founded in NewAmsterdam (New York City) in 1613 Many patriots owned theirown breweries among them General Israel Putnam and WilliamPenn Thomas Jefferson was also interested in brewing andmade beer at Monticello George Washington even had hisown brew house on the grounds of Mount Vernon and hishandwritten recipe for beer mdash dated 1757 and taken fromhis diary mdash is still preserved

12_05056x ch07qxp 83106 753 PM Page 61

How Beer Is MadeThe beer brewing process begins with pure water corn gritsand malted barley Malted barley is the basic ingredient andis often referred to as the ldquosoul of beerrdquo It contributes to thecolor and characteristic flavor of beer What does maltedmean It means that the barley has been steeped or soakedin water and allowed to germinate or grow Brewing beer is astep-by-step process

1 The corn grits and malt are cooked and blended tocreate mash

2 A sugary liquid called wort is extracted from themash (The remaining solid portion of the mash thebrewerrsquos grain is sold as feed)

3 The wort is transferred to the brew kettles where itrsquosboiled and hops are added Hops are responsible forthe rich aroma and the delicate bitterness in beer

4 The wort then moves to the wort cooler

5 Yeast which converts sugar into alcohol and carbondioxide and sterile air are added next and the wortmoves to fermentation tanks for a carefully controlledtime period

Two different types of yeast can be used bottom and top

Bottom yeast settles to the bottom of the tank after con-verting all the sugar and the resulting beer is a lager

Top yeast rises to the top of the tank when itrsquos done withthe sugar and the beer it produces is an ale

Types of BeerYoursquove probably seen some of the following terms on beerlabels or maybe yoursquove heard them in beer commercials

Ale is top-fermented beer Itrsquos a little bitter usually tasteshoppy and has a higher alcohol content

Part II Short Shots from American Whiskey to Wine 62

12_05056x ch07qxp 83106 753 PM Page 62

Bitter beer is a strong ale usually English with a higherthan normal alcohol content and as the name implies abittersweet taste

Bock beer is a dark strong slightly sweet lager beerbrewed from caramelized malt

Ice beer is brewed at colder than normal temperaturesand then chilled to below freezing forming crystals Thecrystals are filtered out leaving a smoother tasting beerwith a slightly higher alcohol content

Lager is a bottom-fermented beer stored at very low(cold) temperatures for a long period of time (severalmonths) The word lager is German for to store

Lambic beer is brewed in Belgium Ingredients such aspeaches raspberries cherries and wheat are addedduring the brewing process

Light beer has fewer calories and less alcohol

Malt liquor is fermented at a higher temperature thanother beers which results in a higher alcohol content

Pilsner is a light hoppy dry lager

Sake is beer brewed and processed from rice (Some consider sake a wine) Sake is served warm or at roomtemperature

Stout is an ale produced from heavily roasted barley Itrsquosdarker in color and has a slightly bitter flavor

Trappist beer is brewed in Belgium or the Netherlands byTrappist monks It contains high levels of alcohol and isusually dark in color

Wheat beer is made as you might expect with wheat Itrsquosusually garnished with a lemon and sometimes raspberrysyrup

Storing and Serving SuggestionsIn the United States beer is served cold (40 degreesFahrenheit) Lower temperatures tend to dull the taste soconsider 40 degrees the lower limit Store beer away from sunlight or yoursquoll have skunked beer which is never pleasant

Cognac and ArmagnacIn This Chapter Finding out about where theyrsquore made

Deciphering the designations on labels

What the well-known brands are

Finishing a meal with a warm drink

France produces two kinds of brandy cognac and arma-gnac Both are named after the region in which theyrsquore

made and both are delicious

CognacCognac can be produced only in the legally defined regionof Cognac France located between the Atlantic and MassifCentral specifically at the junction between the oceanic andcontinental climate zones The region also straddles the divid-ing line between northern and southern climates These fourinfluences create a multitude of microclimates In addition tothe unique climate the soil characteristics also foster a rangeof wine and consequently the cognac of each region In 1909the French government passed a law that only brandy producedin the ldquodelimited areardquo surrounding the town of Cognac can becalled cognac

How itrsquos madeThe arduous time-honored distilling and aging process iswhat makes cognac so special The cognac you drink today

14_05056x ch09qxp 83106 753 PM Page 69

was produced using methods dating back to the 17th centuryThe distillation of cognac is a two-stage process

1 A first distillate known as brouillis is obtained withan alcoholic strength of 28 to 32 percent

2 The brouillis is returned to the boiler for a secondheating which produces a liquid known as la bonnechauffe In this second distillation the beginning andthe end of distillation (the head and tail) are discardedleaving only the heart of the spirit which becomescognac

The cognac is then sent to rest in oak casks made from woodfrom the Limousin and Troncais forests

Maturing slowly over long years in cellars the cognac acquiresa smoothness and flavor beyond compare The wood and thedark saturated atmosphere of the cellars work together todevelop the aroma of the cognac to its full potential Allcognac is aged a minimum of 30 months

What are all those letters onthe labelWhen you shop for cognac you see all kinds of designationson the labels of various brands mdash for example CourvoisierVS Martell VSOP and Remy Martin XO The letters andphrases after the brand name are a general indication of theage (and in turn expensiveness) of the cognac

Every major brand produces cognacs of different ages Whenone of the following designations is used it indicates the ageof the youngest cognac used in the blend that makes upwhatrsquos in the bottle

VS (Very Superior) or Three Stars The cognac is agedless than 41frasl2 years

VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) The cognac has agedbetween 41frasl2 and 61frasl2 years Sometimes called VO (VeryOld) or Reserve

XO (Extremely Old) Napoleon Hors drsquoage VSSOPCordon Bleu Grand Reserve and Royal The cognachas aged at least 51frasl2 years and up to 40 years

14_05056x ch09qxp 83106 753 PM Page 70

Generally speaking each cognac producer uses blends thatare much older than the minimum required In the most pres-tigious cognacs some of the blends may have matured overseveral decades

Yoursquore also going to see some of these names on the labels

Grand Fine Champagne or Grande Champagne Theseidentify cognacs made exclusively from grapes grown inthe Grande Champagne region of Cognac

Petite Fine Champagne or Petite Champagne Thesenames mean that the cognac is a blend made from grapesgrown in the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagnesections of Cognac At least 50 percent of the blend mustbe from grapes grown in the Grande Champagne Region

The terms fine cognac and grande fine which may also appearon cognac labels have no legally defined meaning The desig-nations extra old (EO) and very old pale (VOP) are not offi-cially recognized by the Bureau du Cognac which makes upall the names and rules

You wonrsquot see vintage dates on cognac labels because in 1963the French passed a law prohibiting the placement of vintagelabels on cognac bottles Go figure

Popular brandsEven though all cognacs are produced in the same region andeven though every brand seems to have the same jumble of agedesignations on their labels you may be surprised at the degreeof distinctiveness among the brands Some brands have a strongroom-filling aroma some have a mild grape flavor others have

Checking out some brands

Preserving its flavor

The Irish have been distilling whiskey for at least 600 yearsif not longer While itrsquos safe to say that Irish whiskey has a

distinct character itrsquos also equally true to say that each brandof Irish whiskey is a unique product

What Makes Irish Whiskey Taste So Yummy

Irish whiskey is triple distilled from barley and other grains inpot stills and aged between five and ten years One major dif-ference between Scotch and Irish whiskey is that when dryingthe barley malt from which the whiskey is to be distilled theIrish use coal instead of peat which prevents the smokyflavor found in Scotch whisky

Whatrsquos more Irish whiskey also gains a great deal of flavorfrom the casks in which itrsquos aged Depending on the brandIrish whiskey is aged in casks that have held sherry rum orbourbon

For centuries the Irish produced an illegal distilled spiritcalled potcheen (po-cheen) a colorless unaged spirit thatrsquoshigh in alcohol content and similar to white lightning in thesouthern United States But as of March 17 1997 itrsquos legal andbeing produced and sold in Ireland and the rest of the world

The role of sugar

Well-known brands and flavors

Serving it up

Rum is a spirit distilled from sugar cane It comes in lightand dark varieties and is an ingredient in hundreds of

cocktail recipes

Rummaging through Rum History

Caribbean rum has been exported out of the islands for hun-dreds of years linked to the tropical and subtropical climateswhere sugar cane thrives It was Christopher Columbus him-self who first brought sugar cane to the Caribbean from theAzores But the origins of rum are far more ancient datingback most experts say more than 2000 years

Sugar cane grew like a weed in parts of southern China andIndia and Alexander the Great after conquering Indiabrought with him to Egypt ldquothe weed that gives honey withoutthe help of beesrdquo The Islamic people from the Middle Agesknown as the Saracens passed on their knowledge of distillingsugar cane to the Moors who made arak a cane-based proto-rum and planted sugar cane in Europe sometime after 636 AD

17_05056x ch12qxp 83106 753 PM Page 83

Columbus brought sugar cane to Puerto Rico on his secondvoyage in 1493 Later Ponce de Leoacuten the first Spanish gover-nor of the island planted the first cane fields in Puerto Ricowhich were soon to become vital to the local economy and tothe worldrsquos palate for fine spirits Some historians speculatethat Ponce de Leoacutenrsquos legendary search for a mythical fountainof youth was in fact a much more practical search for asource of pure water to use in his distillation of rum

The first sugar mill a precursor to the Puerto Rican rumindustry was built in 1524 when the product of cane distilla-tion was called brebaje the word rum being a later additionbrought by crusading English seamen

The popularity of rum continued to spread during the early19th century Distilleries prospered and grew in Puerto RicoIn 1893 the first modern column still was introduced toPuerto Rico With this innovation the foundation was laid forthe island to produce a more refined smoother-tasting rum ata dramatically increased pace Distilleries relocated from vastoutlying sugar plantations to more accessible sites and soonbecame centrally organized and managed The first PuertoRican rum for export to the continental US was shipped in1897 mdash some 18000 gallons

During the prohibition period of the US most Puerto Ricanrum distillers stayed in business mdash not by being rumrunnersbut by producing industrial alcohol When prohibition endedin 1934 Puerto Rico refocused on the potential of the Americanliquor market and slowly began to rebuild its shipments toUS ports It soon took steps to upgrade its rum productionand through special government funding and research cata-pulted the islandrsquos rum to the forefront of the worldrsquos rum production

With the onset of World War II manufacturers of US distilledspirits were ordered to limit their production and manufac-ture of industrial alcohol for the war effort However becausethe territorial mandate didnrsquot apply to Puerto Rico demandfor Puerto Rican rum increased Sales were phenomenalthroughout the war years with rum and Coke being thenational drink during World War II In 1952 about 100 differentbrands of Puerto Rican Rum were on the market Today thereare just 12

Scotch WhiskyIn This Chapter Regional variations

Peat and barley A match made in heaven

How to savor your Scotch

Scotch whisky (spelled without the e in whiskey) has a dis-tinctive smoky flavor thatrsquos the result of both the choice

of ingredients and the method of distillation

Scotch whisky must be distilled in Scotland mdash but not neces-sarily bottled in Scotland Some Scotch whiskies are bottled inother countries but distilled in Scotland

Types of Scotch WhiskyTwo kinds of Scotch whisky are distilled malt whisky (frombarley) and grain whisky (from cereals) Malt whiskies aredivided into four groups according to the geographical loca-tion of the distilleries in which theyrsquore made Figure 13-1shows the four main areas of Scotch production

Lowland malt whiskies Made south of an imaginary linedrawn from Dundee in the east to Greenock in the west

Highland malt whiskies Made north of the aforemen-tioned line

Speyside malt whiskies Made in the valley of the RiverSpey Although these whiskies come from within the areadesignated as Highland malt whiskies the concentration

18_05056x ch13qxp 83106 754 PM Page 89

of distilleries and the specific climatic conditions inSpeyside produce whiskies of an identifiable characterwhich enjoys a separate classification

Each group has its own clearly defined characteristics rang-ing from the lighter-flavored gentle Lowland whiskies to thosedistilled on Islay which are generally regarded as the heaviestmalt whiskies

Grain distilleries are mostly found in the central belt of Scotlandnear the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh Single grain whiskiesdisplay individual characteristics in the same way as maltsalthough the geographical influence isnrsquot the same

Married together malt whiskies and grain whiskies createblended Scotch whisky which accounts for 95 percent ofworld sales As you may expect from the name a single-maltScotch whisky is made from one type of malt and itrsquos notblended with other malts or grain whiskies

How Scotch Is MadeScotch whisky made from malts dates back to 1494 to FriarJohn Cor and his fellow friars Until the mid-1800s nearly allScotches were single-malt Then Andrew Usher came up withthe idea of mixing malt whisky and grain whisky to createblended Scotch whisky There can be many (up to 50) differ-ent types of malt whiskies blended with grain whisky (fromcereals) to make a blended whisky

1 The first stage of making Scotch whisky is the malting ofbarley The barley is soaked and dried for germinationDuring this period the starch in the barley converts tofermentable sugar

2 To stop the germination the malted barley is smokedusually over peat fires in open malt kilns giving Scotchwhisky its smoky taste

3 Then the barley is mixed with water and yeastFermentation takes place and alcohol is the resultThis liquid is then usually pumped into stills anddouble-distilled until the correct proof is attained

4 After distillation the whisky is placed in used Americanoak wine or bourbon barrels and then aged by law for aminimum of three years Most Scotch whiskies usuallyage from five to ten years sometimes much longer Itrsquossaid that the longer a whisky ages the smoother itbecomes

Whisky doesnrsquot improve with age after itrsquos bottled

After aging in the barrel each distiller then completes its ownblending filtering and bottling There are more than 100 dis-tilleries and more than 2000 different Scotch whiskies

Remember whisky can only be called Scotch whisky if itrsquos dis-tilled and matured for at least three years in Scotland

Messinrsquo with MezcalThe process of making mezcal hasnrsquot changed much since theSpanish arrived in Mexico in the early 1800s and brought withthem distillation technologies The Aztecs near the mountaintopsettlement of Monte Alban in Oaxaca had cultivated a certainspecies of agave plant for juice which they fermented intowhat they called pulque The Spaniards wanting somethingmuch more potent began to experiment with agave

Mezcal like tequila is made from the agave plant but theprocess is different Whatrsquos more while tequila is made exclusively in the northwestern state of Jalisco mezcalis exclusive to Oaxaca

Mezcal has a high potency and strong smoky flavor Distillersinsist that the drink has medicinal and tonic qualities In Mexicotribal women drink mezcal to withstand the pain of childbirthand laborers drink it for added strength

The famous wormWorms live in the agave plant and are hand-harvested duringthe rainy summer season Theyrsquore stored in mezcal drainedand sorted and placed in bottles near the end of the processThe worm is what makes mezcal unique itrsquos added as areminder that it comes from the plant from which the alcoholis made

Apocryphal legends note that the worm gives strength toanyone brave enough to gulp it down Some even believeit acts as an aphrodisiac Like the drink itself the worm issomething of an acquired taste

A few brandsThe number of mezcal brands is much smaller than thenumber of tequila brands Here are a few

Wines from Around the WorldClimate is a big factor in making good wine To grow wine-worthy grapes summers canrsquot be too hot and autumns needto be cool Light rainfall is necessary in the winter and springand the rain needs to taper off in the summer and fall Harshcold winters with hail frost and heavy winds are bad forgrowing grapes

The type of grape determines the type of wine and only cer-tain types of grapes grow in certain climates To make matterseven more complicated the soil of a particular region plays abig role in how its grapes will turn out So while the climate incertain regions of California and France may be perfect forsay chardonnay grapes the soil in those regions affects thegrapes to the point that the resulting wines from each regionare different

Although many wines are sold as port throughout the worldauthentic port wine is the unique product of Portugal By lawit must be made only from approved grape varieties nativeto the Alto Douro district and grown nowhere else in the country

Fortification with brandy gives port extra strength and moreimportantly preserves the fresh flavor of grapes that makesport so delicious

Port comes in three varieties

Ruby Dark in color and fairly sweet

Tawny Lighter in color and drier because itrsquos aged incasks longer

Vintage port Released only in certain exceptional yearsthe fullest and sweetest of all ports

The following are some popular brands

Cockburnrsquos

Manzanilla Pale dry and light-bodied also servedchilled as an apeacuteritif

Amotillanda Medium dry and full-bodied perfectbetween meals or with soup and cheese

Sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France iscalled of course champagne It is made with a mix of differentgrapes (including pinot noir pinot meunier and chardonnay)through a process called meacutethod champenoise which is quitecostly and time-consuming Sparkling wines from other placesin the world are made in different ways with different grapesBut you can find sparkling wines from places such as Californiathat are made using the meacutethod champenoise

Champagne and other sparkling wines should be stored in acool dark place away from heat light vibrations and severetemperature variations Unlike the best wines from Bordeauxor California sparkling wines are ready for consumption whentheyrsquore shipped to the market However some wine-loversalso enjoy cellaring their champagnes for a few extra years

Before serving chill the wine well but donrsquot freeze itPlacing the bottle in a bucket filled with ice and water for30 to 40 minutes is the best way to chill champagne You canalso chill a bottle by refrigerating it for several hours butdonrsquot keep bottles in the fridge for extended periods of timeThe excessive cold and the vibration of the motor will causethe flavor to go a little flat

Champagne is best served in tall flute or tulip glasses at atemperature of 42 to 47 degrees Fahrenheit Tiny bubbleswill rise in a continuous stream When serving pour a smallquantity of champagne into each glass and allow it to settleThen fill each glass two-thirds full

One Final Word on WinesI havenrsquot said nearly as much about wine as I would like Thefact is people have written whole books on single types ofwine so itrsquos sort of foolish for me to even pretend to give acomprehensive overview in a single chapter The focus of thisbook after all is cocktail recipes

Mai Tai Out of this worldVic Bergeron invented the Mai Tai in 1944 at his Polynesian-style Oakland barHe didnrsquot want fruit juices detracting from the two ounces of J Wray NephewJamaican rum he poured as the base for his creation He merely added a halfounce of French orgeat (an almond-flavored syrup) a half ounce of orange cura-cao a quarter ounce of rock candy syrup and the juice of one lime CustomerCarrie Wright of Tahiti the first to taste the concoction responded ldquoMai tai roe aerdquo (Tahitian for ldquoOut of this world the bestrdquo)

The Mai Tai became famous and conflicting stories about its origins aggra-vated Bergeron so much that he elicited a sworn statement from Mrs Wrightin 1970 testifying to his authorship of the cocktail

ldquoMartinirdquo MadnessIn This Chapter Following the latest trend

Mixing a few martinis

Whatrsquos with all the martinis these days I get new recipessubmitted to me all the time and every day I hear

about these trendy new martinis that look like nothing morethan pink Kool-Aid in a dressed-up cocktail glass

The truth of the matter is that a real martini is simply a coupleounces of ice-cold gin (or vodka if gin isnrsquot your thing) with adash of vermouth Some people like more or less vermouththan others (or none at all) and some people prefer an oliveor a twist of lemon or even a pearl onion for a garnish Butthatrsquos really about it when it comes to martini variations as faras Irsquom concerned

Ultimately the martinis in this chapter are just cocktails likeany other but theyrsquore called martinis because theyrsquore servedin a martini glass Itrsquos trendy In a few years something elsewill be trendy At one time people drank cocktails with raweggs in them because they were popular Tab and Fresca usedto be popular In five years something else will be popularWhat are you gonna do

So anyway I tried to pick out around 30 interesting or trendyldquomartinisrdquo that actually taste good and are worth drinkingEnjoy

Chapter 21

At Least Ten Cures and Lores

In This Chapter Getting rid of your hiccups

What to do if you have a hangover

Part of being a bartender is settling arguments mendingbroken hearts and curing two primary medicinal prob-

lems hiccups and hangovers

HiccupsThe rapid closure of the vocal cords that follows the involun-tary contraction of the diaphragm causes hiccups (When youput it this way hiccups donrsquot seem nearly as embarrassing asmost people consider them) See the list of cures that follows

Slice a lemon and remove the pits Top the slices withsugar and Angostura bitters and eat the whole thingThis is the sure cure

Mix Angostura bitters and club soda and sip slowly

Drink a glass of water backwards This can be a reallywet cure

Hold your nose and breathe through your mouth Thencount to 10 or 20 or count to 100 to be certain

Blow into a paper bag

29_05056x ch21qxp 83106 755 PM Page 317

HangoversCause Take a guess

Cures Only a few cures really work

A little prevention Donrsquot overindulge or let yourself beoverserved (Someone told me once that even in modera-tion I am excessive)

Sleep Drink plenty of fluids (water-based not alcohol-based) Get some peace and quiet

Consider a few more possible cures

Drink two ounces Fernet Branca or Fernet Branca Menta(Italian digestives) on the rocks

Drink one small bottle of Underberg (a German digestive)

From my friends in Puerto Rico (Gere and Linda) rub ahalf of a lemon under each armpit

Drink a bottle of flat beer left out open overnight

Hair of the Dog One shot of whatever you were drinking
