It’s always Friday: favorite bartenders to make at home

Because quarantined every day is Friday

If you are already tired of alternating white wine with red, and IPA with stout, complicate the rules of the game and try mixing at home some simple, but very tasty cocktails.

OLD CUBAN COCKTAIL

Rum aged (but you can light) – 50 ml;
Lime fresh – 25 ml;
Sugar syrup – 15 ml;

Ingredients:

Dry gin – 75 ml;
Dry vermouth – 15 ml;
Orange Beater – 1 dash (4-5 drops);

You must pre-freeze the gin in the freezer and cool the vermouth in the refrigerator – if the ingredients are mixed immediately in a frozen glass, and then there is no need for bar equipment, as well as ice for cocktail.
