@lui_fern: There are really only six cocktails that you need to know to be a great bartender. Or at least that's kind of what the folks at @deathandcompany proposed in their highly influential book "The Cocktail Codex" -- Obviously, I think they wanted you to learn more cocktails and so that isn't the entire truth and each of these root cocktails then spawn off into other ones, but it's still very important to learn about these root cocktails to be a great bartender. -- #cocktails #bartending101 #bartenderlife #makingcocktails #mixology
Can’t be right. Doesn’t include the Long Island Iced Tea.

I think of these as akin to the French mother sauces. Are they the only cocktail formula? No. But you can do a lot based on them.

Appreciate that old fashioned. When I see bartenders muddle fruit for old fashioneds, I leave

i hyperfixated on cocktails for a long time and came to the same realization - sure there are SOME exceptions, but if you want to riff, you can’t go wrong just tinkering with those 6 base specs

Also love this book. It's like cocktails 101. Everyone with a home bar needs to get a copy.

I too miss fetty wap. Trap queen and 679 peaking all the speakers in some random college basement at 1am will always be a core memory for me

funny how the Tommy’s Margarita is basically a daiquiri, but its lineage is from the sidecar. in the biological sciences we can that “convergent evolution”

The Sazerac was arguably the first cocktail, so the old fashioned would be built off of it

It sounds like an egg makes a flip but a traditional whiskey sour has an egg, so what does that mean??

Ok so when I started bartending I was so caught up with learning recipes it was super intimidating however after I bought that book it made learning and understanding recipes so much easier
