Let's start with 1 of the oldest cocktails in existence 😋 “The Old Fashioned Cocktail” Also 1 of The Perfect Serve Agency Favorite cocktails !! Our story begins with Jerry Thomas and one of the oldest handwritten Bar-Tenders Guide found from ... 1862 ✔️ In 1862 Jerry Thomas shook the Old fashioned cocktail with Whiskey ... Which was most likely, after the prohibition, a mix of Rye whiskey and a kind of “bourbon” that was still in full evolution. Over the years, purists have started speculating about how the Old Fashioned should be drunk ... Let's face it, with a bourbon that would make for a softer and slightly sweeter old fashioned or with a Rye whiskey that would make for more Kick and seasoning in the Old Fashioned, you tell me ...? We at The Perfect Serve Agency prefer to go for more different flavors here, so that everyone can find their own taste in a powerful cocktail like the Old Fashioned. Where does the name actually come from, you wonder? The full name was then: "The Old Fashioned Whiskey Cocktail" (1862) Before that all the way back for this time, really in the very beginning of the cocktail time + - 1806 when there were recipes that still contained the ingredients: Spirit-a small little sugar-water and bitters! In this time it was still simply called a Whiskey Cocktail, no more, no less. (Fun fact) This cocktail was still served without ice, and was then considered to be a cocktail for adults. Over the years this cocktail has made a rollercoaster, people claiming that they invented or improved it and so on. Which brings us somewhere in the mid 1990s and so this cocktail became popular in London but no longer shaked like in the 1862 but “stirred” In the glass or in a mixed glass? Just name it ... We stir these to get a dilution or rather called in “bartender terminology” DILUTION To be obtained! Or as in the pictures in Caviar balls. Cocktail caviar balls you say ... Indeed as a molecular mixologist ... I would like to say that this cocktail is really evolving. Bartenders have now perfected these so that there is sure to be something for everyone. How to make? I give you my favorite .. I am a big fan of rum and chocolate ☺️ For me this is just a match made in heaven 😋 Recipe for the Chocolate rum old Fashioned as in the picture: - 50Ml Your Favorite Rum infused in a chocolate bottle. 'We call this chocolate wash' (For more information you can always contact me) - 1 spoon of sugar or 10 ML of sugar syrup. - 6 Drops of Chocolate / Chili Bitters - A little bit of sparkling water (Matter that your sugar dissolves nicely) Like the sugar syrup, it should also be 10 ml otherwise you have more water to dilute ... Small tip! For a fruit salad version of this one you can share zest with the sugar for the fans 😋🇧🇪 Enjoy it and hopefully I taught you something again today ☺️✔️
