About alcoholic drinks

The main component of all alcoholic beverages is the alcohol. The quality of the alcohol mainly determines the more or less good taste of the end product. The amount of alcohol contained in the drink is determined by the nature of the drink and by the price one is willing to pay for it. So alcohol with a very pure taste, without a sharp aftertaste, was always taken care of. The sugar used for the sweet liqueurs must not contain ultramarine, so must not be blued.

The dyes used must be absolutely harmless. So you use self-made dyes extracted from plant parts, or order them with a clear statement of the purpose for which they are to be used; the last way is the safest. For brown one usually takes burnt sugar or caramel; the taste of this often helps. The taste of a liqueur is often rounded off by adding wine or fruit juice.

The amount of essence or fruit oil added to a drink must be carefully measured; too much often harms more than too little. Since the raw materials are often different, the indicated recipes cannot always be absolutely correct. The necessary deviations must be tested in small experiments. These deviations cannot be avoided or one would have to give up all products from certain factories. Moreover, it should not be forgotten that people's tastes are very sensitive and varied; here it is a very nice task for those who want to work here to change the recipes to their personal taste. In fact, all given recipes should only be regarded as a starting point for one's own personal work.

An important factor in making drinks is time; the flavor only develops on standing, also in the essences. So one should never make the mistake of mixing an essence today, making it into a liqueur tomorrow and tasting it immediately; the liqueur then definitely does not taste good. The essences must first of all have time to develop. If you can't or don't want to wait, it's much better to buy the essences from a factory, which often lets them stand for years before they are put on the market.

The barrels in which a drink is left to stand have a major influence on its taste. For example, the tannin from oak seems to have a very favorable influence on the taste development.

In general, drinks are clarified by adding some gelatin solution or pure skimmed milk. Filtration is generally still recommended.

In the preparation of all kinds of alcoholic beverages, the essences are first dissolved in the strong alcohol, then the water and the sugar solution are added, then allowed to stand for some time and filtered. After this, the drink is left to sit quietly until the taste is sufficiently fine.

angosturabitter
Angostura bitters is a herbal bitter (44.7%) first created in 1824 by J.G.B. Siegert as a remedy for tiredness and upset stomach. The name comes from the port city of Angostura in Venezuela (Ciudad Bolívar) where the herbal bitter was first produced. Angostura bitters are usually used in small quantities as an ingredient in cocktails such as: Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Pisco sour, Singapore Sling, Zombie and sometimes in the cocktails Bloody mary, Cuba libre, Mojito en Punch.

Chlorophyll

Green plant parts such as grass, spinach and nettles are first poured over with warm water. The mixture is left to stand until the leaf green has become completely soft. The plant parts are then crushed and boiled with a ½ pc caustic soda solution for a short time. The clear solution is decanted off and the chlorophyll is precipitated with dilute hydrochloric acid. The precipitate is washed well with clean water, filtered off and dried. Before use, dissolve as much of this as necessary in a mixture of water and alcohol.
