Must-Have Apps to Master Preparing Best Cocktails

Whether you want to land your dream job of becoming a bartender or you want to learn how to make your own cocktails at home, the key to learning how to mix drinks with, for instance, vodka, tequila or rum, is to start with simple and easy recipes and work your way up. Cocktail recipe books for beginners are filled with pictures and step by step instructions. Thus, you can easily follow recipes and learn about different types of glasses, shaking, and cocktail build methods and more. By following simple tips and tricks, you’ll be able to make at home and have delicious drinks just as if they were made by an expert bartender.

Mixing drinks for a party can be a lot of fun but finding out last minute that you can’t mix a drink because you’re short by one or two ingredients can truly be a bummer. Thankfully, there are many cocktail apps that have reverse search and cocktail builder tools where you can find recipes on how to make drinks based on the ingredients you already have. Simply enter how many bottles of vodka, whisky, rum, gin, tequila, champagne, cranberry juice, and other ingredients you have in your minibar, and you’ll find recipes to make at home without the need to rush to the liquor store. 

Learning how to make mixed drinks is half the part. The other half is knowing which drinks are best for a given occasion. If you are having a large party with many guests, but not all of them are drinkers, you’ll want to make at home both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks (or ‘Mocktails’) to satisfy all tastes. And, if you are on a budget, there are drinks that are cheap and delicious, so you can still make cocktails without breaking the bank. For an impressive drink, nothing is better than a well-built classic cocktail. Or, go for a cool and trendy cocktail such as a strawberry daiquiri or other fruity mixes. Bartender and cocktails books typically have cocktails grouped by classification, and also offer insight and tips that every bartender should know, so you can easily identify the best drink for any occasion.
