Since I know absolutely NOTHING about making cocktails other than a Mimosa and a Screwdriver I decided to take a cocktail class at Isle Cook a local place here in Key West. They host quite a few different classes throughout the month. The most important thing that I learned was the method of 2-1-1. You always want to use 2 parts spirit, 1 part sweet and 1 part sour. With that method I am already leaps and bounds ahead of what I was previously mixing. This was also the first class that I have attended at Isle Cook. They have a very cool store with everything you could need for your kitchen or bar.
I also learned what a jigger was … who would have thought that is what you should be using to measure your spirits? I decided to buy one of those since it can’t hurt right? Well at least everything will be measured right! With all of that said I can’t wait to have a few friends over and see if I am any good at this measuring and mixing game.
