A table, good food, friends, family, laughs: what’s missing from this near-perfect scene? The right cocktail<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In those moments, a good drink is the perfect idea because it is synonymous with conviviality and relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cocktails, in fact, are a favorite and perfect choice for a wide variety of contexts and occasions: aperitifs, dinners and after-dinner drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what are the “ingredients” of a perfect cocktail? The mixologists<\/strong>,expert bartenders who study the perfect and most sophisticated combinations, are the ones to answer this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mixology: in cocktails the glass is an ingredient as well<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flavor equilibrium<\/strong> between sweet and bitter, visual balance<\/strong> between colors and… The choice of glass. The art of mixology<\/strong> is also about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same way that dessert forks are not the same as main course forks, similarly, a water glass will never be the same as a cocktail glass<\/strong>: the cocktail glass must contain not only the mixture, but often the ice as well, and, most importantly, it is designed to best enhance the colors and garnishes of the drink<\/strong>. This is why it differs from the classic water glass in terms of size, but especially in terms of shape, which should enhance the specific features of the cocktail. All these details are essential to create a unique and totalizing drinking experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is easy, then, to realize how important the mixologist’s experience is in creating the perfect cocktail. Not only in terms of taste, but also visually!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glass<\/strong>, therefore, is effectively an ingredient in the creation of a perfect cocktail<\/strong>: it must contain and present the drink in the best possible way, by its shape and size it must enhance the flavors and colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
