3-Ingredient Cocktails That Will Up Your Home Bartending Game
Sometimes, you just want to drink with your friends but don’t have all the ingredients you need to make one of your favorite drinks. That’s when home bartenders everywhere reach for the 3-ingredient cocktail. With just three ingredients, these cocktails can be made quickly and easily without sacrificing taste or presentation. Here are three-ingredient cocktails every home bartender should know how to make!
OLD-FASHIONED RECIPE :
In the world of traditional cocktails, the Old Fashioned is without a doubt the heavyweight champion. The original cocktail only contains three ingredients: bourbon, bitters, and sugar. Not a fan of bourbon? Not an issue. Add rye, scotch, rum, or tequila instead. It is possible to modify the Old Fashioned to incorporate almost any spirit imaginable. By utilising various bitters, you can experiment with diverse flavour profiles.

MANHATTAN RECIPE :
An ideal Manhattan. Some of us are aware that a “perfect Manhattan” has two ounces of rye whiskey, half an ounce of sweet vermouth, and half an ounce of dry vermouth. Both professional and amateur bartenders travel this path throughout their lives. The traditional proportions of the Manhattan are 2:1:2, which equals 2 ounces of rye whiskey, 1 ounce of vermouth, and 2 dashes of bitters. You’ll adore this cocktail if, like us, you prefer slightly spicier, rye whiskey-forward concoctions.

MARTINI RECIPE :
The Martini is without a doubt the most hotly debated classic cocktail. vodka or gin? (Gin.) Stirred or shaken? (Stirred.) Olive or a twist? (Twist.) Wet or dry? (Dry.) To lay it all to rest, we are here. This is the best one after many trial and error tests (someone has to do it). Period. The proportion of gin to vermouth and how chilled the drink is are the two key components of a perfect Martini. The face of God can be shown to you in a wonderfully crafted Martini, and you can grin as you bask in Her majesty. Our ideal Martini has a 5:1 gin-to-vermouth ratio with a dash of orange bitters, is swirled for almost a minute, and is topped with a lemon twist. We can argue the finer points.
