"Here at A Couple Cooks, Alex and I believe making cocktail recipes at home should be simple. It might seem intimidating at first (and it was, for me!). But after a decade of research and even earning a mixology certificate, I've found that making a great cocktail at home is 100% accessible. Together Alex and I have created a library of over 300 easy cocktail recipes that we're always adding to."
"Ice quality matters I makeat home using a small cooler method; it's surprisingly easy and makes cocktails look professionally crafted (there are also now clear ice makers on the market). Clear ice melts more slowly and doesn't cloud your drink. Measure everything Even after years of making cocktails, I still measure every ingredient. Consistency is what separates good home bartenders from great ones."
Making cocktails at home can be simple and fully accessible with basic knowledge and practice. Quality ice improves appearance and slows dilution; using clear ice via a small cooler method or clear ice makers yields slower melting and no cloudiness. Measure every ingredient to ensure consistency. Use fresh citrus juice rather than bottled for markedly better flavor. Start a home bar with essential spirits—bourbon, gin, tequila, vodka—and key liqueurs like Cointreau and sweet and dry vermouth. Add simple syrup and fresh lemons and limes as staples. A few quality tools and ingredients cover most classic cocktails.
