Hello everyone, and welcome back to Rita.
In this, our second meeting, I will go on to introduce
the preparations of our guests
What will they do with their twists or will they perform the interpretation?
the super classic cocktails.
I'll prepare the first one, and it's definitely one of my favorites.
And it's the Daiquiri.
The Daiquiri is a cocktail from Cuban tradition.
what is born from the ashes of Chanchalchara,
The classic recipe prepared with honey and lime
Our certainly fundamental component
It is the quality of the lime.
The lime must be a Persian lime.
with an extremely thin peel and rich in juice.
We gently massage it before squeezing.
to obtain as much juice as possible.
A juice that doesn't undergo that typical oxidation
of the previously prepared juices.
As I was saying, the other ingredient is sugar.
The sugar must be neither too much nor too little.
We want to get a drink
that has a nice, lively acidity
but at the same time
however it may appear
the intrinsic quality of rum
And I always say a high-quality lime
enhance a good rum
taking out those slightly vanilla-like notes
that come from aging.
Indeed, we use a white but amber-colored rum
why it underwent a minimum period of aging in barrels.
The proportion with which we work rum on lime
It will be 2 to 1 with a slight excess of rum.
Rum also helps us with sweetness.
not only in the alcoholic part.
Abundant ice and a very intense shake.
It may seem excessive, but it is necessary to incorporate air.
and to achieve the correct dilution.
I've chilled a nice bowl
and via in a single step.
My beautiful Daiquiri
I can't wait to taste it.
Welcome to Rita!
Good evening everyone, I am Leonardo Leucci
by Gerry Thomas Pichisi of Rome.
Today I will prepare an extremely unusual drink.
because it is nearly extinct
That's why with Gerry, we don't do it
But it's one of my favorite drinks
And so I like to let you experience my version.
I'll prepare a White Russian for you
All Fashion Glass
A beautiful ice cube
So trendy today.
Then we take some Polugar.
a kind of ancestral vodka.
We have added notes of hazelnut and cocoa.
a very classic coffee liqueur.
Perfect.
Quick mix just to slightly chill it down.
Classic fresh cheese as per tradition
What we assemble, what's important, we assemble.
Take our half-whipped cream
and we attack it on the drink
in such a way that it creates the classic layer of cream.
This drink scorned by most bartenders
It is, however, an extremely interesting drink.
Why? Because here we work with different consistencies
The temperature varies
And thus it's a somewhat molecular drink.
from a certain point of view
also avant-garde
Why did he create this type of innovative structure?
already in the 1960s.
I like it very much
since Gerry won't let me do it
At least I do it myself.
Hello everyone!
Welcome, I'm Oscar Quagliarini
I'll prepare a great classic for you
A great classic slightly revisited
It is a martini cocktail.
that I usually always drink without vermouth
Why do they call him the furious in Milan?
And in this case, we do it naturally
with a London Dry Gin
I like doing it beautifully full
So I add 8 cl of gin
In this case, we use
an orange vermouth
obtained from orange wine
so wine that undergoes maceration on the skins
sugar
a natural aromatic bouquet
typical spices of dry vermouth
and notes of apricot and jasmine
The drink is a historic cocktail.
It is usually done in various versions.
It can be done by performing the in-out version.
Therefore, pour the vermouth into the mixing glass.
You iron it and then you drink the ice
spoiled by vermouth
service technique is
stir and strain
in Nick & Nora, Colma, to the brim
He absolutely hates me, just like that.
come garnish in this case
instead of the lemon zest
let's say, in the case of an orange vermouth
a slice of orange
You're welcome and greetings
Martini Cocktails 2022
Welcome
My name is Giampiero Dorelli
Oh, Peter Dorelli, don't you use it
I turned 24 years old
at the American Bar at the Savoy, London
with a story by Harry Craddock
Harry Craddock is one of the famous cocktails.
It's the all fashion
Frequently, my boys would panic.
when the request was for two or three
even four at fashion
It hasn't been understood why
because clearly fashion is very fast
Now I'll show you
How is the classic all fashion made?
Then we need the sugar cube.
the sugar cube
bitter only necessary
to dissolve the sugar cube
Like this
then we use the probe that covers
the sugar
the sugar cube
neither more nor less
Gently without pressing
A beautiful up-and-down movement
this will now be
the same amount of sugar
and bitter ones
So let's take the slice of orange.
We press where there is the past
where there is juice
excellent
And now let's take the slice of lemon zest
the slice of lemon
Let's put it inside
Then let's have a nice rye whiskey
bourbon rye
Let's put it inside
Let's give it a good mix-up
very good
and to finish
a beautiful cherry
with a touch of soda
Here it is
the old fashioned
