Did you know? The name of the cocktail “Irish Car Bomb” is associated with the Irish origin of the drinks included in its composition (Baileys liquor, Jameson wiki, Guinness beer). It is believed that the cocktail could have been called that because of the large number of cars filled with explosives that terrorists blew up in cities in Northern Ireland, especially in the capital, Belfast. They say that the original cocktail was called "Belfast Car Bomb".
You should not order this cocktail in Ireland - there it is little known, and its name can cause misunderstanding and undesirable reaction. Bartenders advise
- The temperature of the drinks for this recipe: whiskey and liquor - 16-20 ° C, beer - 5-8 ° C. That is, beer should be well chilled, and whiskey and liquor - only slightly.
- Making cocktails requires knowledge, skill and special equipment. For example, when preparing layered cocktails, so that the layers do not mix, you must first pour the cocktail with the highest sugar content into the glass, and the last with the least.
- Pouring components for such cocktails is convenient for a special bar spoon - it has a long twisted handle with a small inverted cone at the end. Drinks flow smoothly over the twisted metal and, thanks to the cone, are evenly distributed over the surface of the previous layer. If there is no bar spoon, you can pour the components of the cocktails along the blade of the knife.
- Also, in order to gently pour the ingredients of the cocktails, there is a special geyser cork with a long beveled watering can and a hole for air circulation. The liquid pours through the geyser smoothly, without jerking, so it’s convenient to pour drinks on a bar spoon or glass wall.
Cocktails are distinguished in many ways. For example, according to the cooking method, the following varieties are distinguished:
- Shake (Shake) - the components of the cocktail are mixed in a shaker. Thus they prepare Margarita, Daiquiri and Cosmopolitan.
- Build (Build) - the ingredients are added to the glass, mixed and served in the same glass. This is how they prepare the “Screwdriver”, “May Tai”, “Tequila Sunrise” and others.
- Stir (Stir) - all components are poured into a mixing cup, then poured into a glass for serving. These are the Manhattan, Saserac, and Dirty Martini cocktails.
- Blend - components (fruits, liquids with different densities) are whipped in a blender until smooth. This method of preparation is suitable for Blue Hawaii, Pina Colada cocktails.
- Layer (Layer) - a cocktail in layers. This method requires special skill of the bartender. The cocktails are very beautiful, with clearly visible layers. For example, Irish Flag, B-52, or Traffic Light.
