Mixology
101 with DTLady
After days of racking my brain trying to
figure out what to write
about this month, a person who knows me well ( too well
it seems) <g>
said “DT just write about something you know well,
booze.”
BTW thanks MaryHOHOxmas :}
 With the summer coming and all the
back yard parties, it's time we all check out our party
supplies. Besides the food, the party host needs to make
sure they have a well stocked bar, and to do that I have
listed some ideas to what a basic bar should contain. Off
course tastes vary, and also picking the liquor depends
on what you want to serve.
LIQUOR
Whisky / Bourbon
Scotch
Gin
Vodka <perk>
Tequila
Light Rum (for Gabby Umbrella drinks) |
MIXERS/GARNISHES
Juices (orange, pineapple, tomato, etc)
Tonic / Soda water
Pop (variety) that's soda for you wrong coasters
<g>
lemons, limes, celery, green olives
Umbrellas ( if Gabby is attending) |
UTENSILS
Jigger to measure liquor
Shaker / Strainer ( for your high class Martini drinkers)
Blender (for them fancy drinks)
LOTS of Ice
Glasses (hell your supply’n the booze make them use
papercups!)
Stuck on how much liquor to buy? Here is a
guideline. There is 1 1/2 - 2 ozs of liquor to a drink, (
Bahahhaaa not the ones I make) so......
1 fifth
1 quart
1 liter
1 1/2 gal.
wine bottle
champange bottle
|
= 13 - 17
drinks
= 16 - 21 drinks
= 17 - 22 drinks
= 32 - 42 drinks
= 6 glasses
= 6 - 12 flutes |
Here are 2 great web site
that have MANY drink ideas:
1) http://sasky.com
This site has weekly drink specials and also gives a
description of every liquor known to mankind.
2) http://food.homearts.com/food/drinks/00drnk17.htm
This is an excellent site. Just type in the liquor and
other goodies you have on hand, and they give you a
recipe.
Have fun with these ideas and drinks,
but just remember if your drinking dont drive!
