The Art Of Drinking by Carlos Zatch

Raise Your Glass!

In this post, I'll be sharing my personal favorites, three drinks that I consider to be the epitome of flavor and elegance.

From classic favorites to trendy twists, these drinks are a celebration of taste and artistry.

Old Fashioned

A cocktail made by muddling sugar with bitters, adding alcohol (like whiskey or brandy), and a twist of citrus rind. Served in a round 8-12 US fl oz (240 - 350 ml) tumbler-like class. Don Draper's (Mad Men TV series) choice of drink.

(1 Sugar Cube, 3 Angostura Bitters, 1 L Club Soda, 2 oz. Rye Whiskey)

Jägerbomb / Perla Negra

1/2 Red Bull + Jägermeister (1/2 oz)

Vodka Martini

The bartender directly knows the reference when you say: "Shaken, not stirred." 

The Vodka Martini combines vodka with vermouth and ice, served in a chilled cocktail glass.

The gentleman drink, chosen by James Bond, the drink became an icon for gentlemen around the world.  

You can choose a dry Martini (with dry, white vermouth), a dirty Martini (splash of olive juice and garnished with an olive), or a Perfect Martini (equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouth).

Wine

Will you choose a Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, or a Shiraz?

My current choice:

Red Wine - “19 Crimes” - Cabernet Sauvignon - 2018

White Wine - Pinot Grigio delle Venezie 2020 - Canti - Italy

Louis Jadot - 2021 - Pouilly-Fuissé 

Cheers!
