If you are not quite fond of the distinct taste of alcohol and still wish to feel light and cheered up then why not make a cocktail to set your mood? However, if you are making it for the first time at home then you definitely need some tips for the same. Read on to learn more!

Easy tips to perfect your cocktail-making skills

Are you wondering what to do about all the booze and juices you have arranged for the party? A cocktail is what you need! Wait! Are you making cocktails for the first time? Then you must follow the tips that we have listed below for you! Go on.

1. Always begin with the classics- assuming that you are making cocktails for the first time, begin with the basics! The classic cocktail recipes are the easiest to make! Hassle-free and a great way to begin your journey into the world of cocktails. The principles are pretty simple and you will make no errors as well.

2. Of course, alcohol is the most important ingredient- simple as this sounds, you can't make a cocktail without alcohol! Even varying the amount of booze can change the flavor of the drink completely. So if you are opting to make a cocktail then always stay true to the concentration of booze which was mentioned in the recipe! Simply adding more or less will not help.

3. You definitely cannot miss out on the ice- here is another fact that we would like to state! You can not make cocktails without ice! Dry ice or ice cubes gives a  distinct flavor to the cocktail so do not miss out on them! If you wish, choose to enjoy cocktails in summer, if ice is a big torture during winter but do not completely remove it from the recipe. Ice serves two purposes in the drink, dilution, and chill. So if you add an inadequate quantity of ice or one that melts too quickly, then the dilution will be more than required, and your drinks will not be cold enough.

4. Always opt for being simple- in life and at the cocktail party, especially if you are the host, choose to keep it simple! You do not have to flaunt your newfound skills to everyone with arrays and varieties of drinks on the table! Stick to one or two and work hard on perfecting them! Too many drinks can compromise the quality of all plus it gets confusing for the guests.

5. Maintain a balance between the flavors - just like any other drink, you need to balance the sweet with sour and sharp! Of course, it contains booze and the flavor will be palpable but do not put all the responsibility on the alcohol to do the job( then you can as well enjoy a glass of beer or simple vodka). Always see to it, that all the ingredients are added in the required concentration without you improvising with the recipe. It is your first time, do not try to get too creative!

6. A cocktail should definitely look nice- yes, we mean it, a cocktail should definitely look good! We are not asking to deck the glass as a bride but care must be taken so the cocktail looks elegant and charming! You can work with a simple glass of beer instead if the decoration is something beyond your field of expertise however do not make a cocktail that looks so pathetic.

7. Alcohol and fruit juice should be stirred well- this is needed

because you need to maintain a uniform balance of flavor in every sip. There are mainly two types of cocktails, the aromatic and the sour, the aromatic drink contains the spirit and some herbs and the sour drink consists of all the other citrusy fruit juices. You need to stir the former since it basically is a mixture of ice and alcohol so they receive some dilution and do not taste bitter. The latter needs vigorous shaking so there is an amalgamation of all the ingredients in the glass.

You can use water, soda, champagne, and tea for both kinds to ensure proper dilution. This results in the third variant which is called the long drink. So mainly you have three types of drinks in terms of cocktails.

Let us now find out about some gorgeous fruity alcoholic drinks.

A brief history of the origin of fruity alcoholic beverages

Studies have been conducted to find out about the first alcoholic beverages in the world. Results have confirmed that the first alcoholic beverage with prepared by a combination of rice, honey, and hawthorn fruit and/or grape. The remains of the beverage were found in early pottery from Jiahu, a Neolithic village in the Yellow River Valley dating back to 7000-6600 BCE. The juice was found in the early pots which were recovered from a province in Northern parts of China. Can you believe it? This is a fact almost nine thousand years old when grapes were hardly being used in the Middle East for fermentation.

You will be intrigued to know that historians have also found the lidded bronze vessels, containing these liquids well preserved and almost three thousand years old! Yes, it is true and intriguing to all of us today. These vessels were particularly found in the city of Anyang and an elite burial in the Yellow River Basin, dating to the Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties (ca. 1250-1000 BCE), which contained rice and millet wine. A concept of such complexity was already in practice during those days! Isn't it fascinating? Shang dynasty inscriptions also had the recipes for alcoholic beverages penned down which contained the infusion of herbs, flowers, and tree raisins.

This discovery of the creation of alcoholic and fermented beverages enabled us to learn from the ancient techniques which we must admit were described as quite advanced. There is so much more we can say about the history of the creation of fermented beverages and the contribution of the Chinese to these ideas but perhaps now it is fine for us to go through some of the fantastic fruity alcoholic beverages that you can make at home.
