Twist Cocktail
When you're looking to shake up your cocktail game, there are few ingredients that will help you elevate your creations quite like fruit juice. Fruit juices are full of flavor and create lots of foam when they're whipped. This helps to enhance the aroma of your other ingredients.
It's important to have a variety fresh juice in your refrigerator. This not only keeps your drinks fresh and flavourful, but it also helps to save you money when you're preparing a large volume of beverages.
Sugar syrup is another ingredient that can help create a smooth and silky texture in your drink. Sugar syrup plays an important role in creating the balance of a drink.
There are many options for how sugar syrup can be added to cocktails. However, the easiest and most effective way is to mix it in with fruit juices. This is great for when you don't have enough fruits to make a recipe or when you want to add sweetness without adding sugar.
Drinking fruit juices in cocktails is a great way to use up fruit leftovers from your kitchen. Just be careful that you don't overdo it with the amount of fruit or syrup, as too much sugar can ruin your drink and turn it into a sweet, overly sweet and unbalanced mess.
The Dark and Stormy
This is a drink that sailors originally invented, but it has been a favourite among drinkers around the world. This strong drink is made from a mix of dark Rum and ginger Beer.
