Aquí les pongo unas recetas de cocktelería que preparaba cuando era bartender, las que están en ingles son una recopilación de varias clásicas que me encontré por ahí y las que están en español son algunas estelares y unas que invente, por cierto, actualmente no se usa mucho el azúcar en la cocktelería y lo sustituyen por jarabe natural pero depende de cada tender, no están todas las recetas, pero por lo menos espero les sirva esta información.

Vodka Recipes

Both the Poles and the Russians claim the flory of inventing vodka. Vodkas producted in either of these countries, being expensive imports, are wasted in mixing cocktails. They are best drunk neat. Vodka produced locally, with a milder and less distinctive taste, is more suitable for mixing with other ingredients. The Harvey Wallbanger is perhaps the most popular vodka-based cocktail.

Brandy Recipes

There are almost as many brandies on the market as there are cocktails. Some, such as the finest Cognacs and Armagnacs, are too fine and too expensive for use in cocktails. For the novice cocktail mixer, the wisest course is to select a three-star brandy.

The fruit brandies, such as Calvados (apple), Kirsch (cherry), apricot and peach, are not really brandies but liqueurs, however they often blend well with brandy in a cocktail.

Bailey´s Irish Cream Recipes

The Match Maker

Mix anything with Bailey´s Irish Cream and the chances are you will have a taste sensation. There seems to be on limit to the number of ingredients you can use. You can even be daring and marry it with other liqueurs.

This is because Bailey´s has the interesting ability to bring the components of a cocktail into harmony and make a drink that will be acceptable to many.

But remember, Bailey´s is made from fine Irish Whiskey blended skillfully with equally fine Irish cream and so has an alcoholic content high enough to command respect. You might grow fond of its distinctive creamy, chocolate-like taste with that undercurrent of Whiskey but you might not care for it the day after.

Rum Recipes

Rum will be forever associated with the West Indies, its true home, and the Royal Navy, its second home. Rum comes in various clours and strengths - and the strong versions are pretty powerful. White rum, which is colourless, was originally known as Cuban rum.

Locally made rum is an excellent base for cocktails because its flavour blends particularly well with fruit juices and other spirits. It is the base for one of the great cocktails, the Daiquiri.

Gin Recipes

Gin was originally produced in Holland in the sixteenth century from a distillation of juniper berries, and used as a medicine. In the eighteenth century it acquired a reputation as a rather vulgar drink, but today it is once more considered respectable.

Gin is the most widely used of all spirits for cocktails; it is the basis for all Martini cocktails and the popular Tom Collins. Besides dry gin, there are others - subtly flavoured with fruit. Sloe gin is the best known of these; it is made from the fruit of the wild blackthorn.
