After talking about what sake is not, what types of sake there are, where to get them, reading the labels and how to store sake... let's move on to how to serve it!⠀⠀ 🍶 ⠀⠀ The one thing I want to emphasise is that if you're curious about trying sake, don't let wondering how to serve it stop you. There are a few tips to get it at its best - I'll talk about temperature next week - but as far as serving goes it's pretty simple.⠀⠀ 🍶⠀⠀ All you need is a wine glass.⠀⠀ 🍶⠀⠀ Technically, any kind of glass will do, and a thicker rim might be better for some classifications or styles. But in terms of getting started, you just need two things you probably already have - a glass and a fridge!⠀⠀ 🍶⠀⠀ If you like Japanese pottery and setting the scene Japanese-style I'll introduce a few traditional vessels and serving styles this week, but they're all strictly optional. Personally, I use either a whisk(e)y style tumbler or one of a small collection of sake glasses at home. 🍶⠀ #discoversake #sake #nihonshu

Unfinished symphonies | Drinks Design & Creative Direction #SweetandChilli #CreativeDrinksAgency What’s the greatest unfinished masterpiece? Mozart’s requiem? Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia? Perhaps it’s the half-completed Canterbury Tales by Chaucer? Couldn’t tell you friend, we know drinks not big Spanish churches. For our money, the Aviation is the great unfinished symphony of the cocktail world. A wonderful idea, it’s all sort of there on paper and then; meh. Too thin, not quite balanced, missing..something. So we decided to do something about it. IRIS AVIATION 45ml Gin 20ml Lemon Juice 5ml Orris Root Syrup 5ml Creme d'Violette 10ml Maraschino Liqueur 1 small slice of Red Chilli (de-seeded) Add all ingredients to a shaker and shake hard, double strain into a chilled glass and garnish with something from the garden. Orris Root is used in gin distillation to pull flavours together and add texture, which it happily replicates for us here. The violet and spice of the root add depth to the existing flavour of the aviation, while the chilli just bumps everything up a little. Finally, an Aviation worthy of the name! #DrinksStrategy #ServeStrategy #CreativeDrinksAgency #SweetandChilliDrinks #CreativeAgency #DrinksStrategy

Shaken, Not Stirred – The Classic Gin Martini "Shaken, not stirred." These iconic words from 007 himself have made the Gin Martini one of the most legendary cocktails in the world. Whether you're channeling your inner James Bond or simply enjoying a sophisticated sip, this cocktail is the epitome of cool, suave, and elegance. Why Shaken? While traditional martinis are often stirred to preserve the clarity and smooth texture, James Bond’s preference for a shaken martini results in a colder, slightly frothy drink with tiny ice shards. Shaking dilutes the cocktail slightly more than stirring, mellowing the potent mix and allowing the botanicals in the gin to shine through. This method also aerates the drink, giving it a unique texture and a subtle, crisp bite. The phrase "shaken, not stirred" first appeared in Ian Fleming's 1956 novel "Diamonds Are Forever" and was immortalized in the 1964 film Goldfinger. It's a statement of sophistication and rebellion against traditional mixology norms. So put on your best tuxedo or little black dress and mix up this classic cocktail, Because sometimes, life needs a little shaken, not stirred. #GinMartini #ShakenNotStirred #Mixology#CocktailHour #CocktailTrivia #DrinksPhotography #PhotographyBusiness #JoshuaJosephPhotography

As the close of 2024 creeps upon us, the reasons to stay home and mix a good cocktail increase. And no bar is complete without a bottle of Angostura bitters. A 200 year old mistake. That’s what you’re looking at when you see the oversized label on a bottle of Angostura bitters. A mistake that became iconic. It was the result of the Siegert brothers rushing to enter their bitters in a competition all the way back in 1824. One brother got the bottles, the other the labels. They realized the size-mismatch too late to do anything about it. They lost the competition, but one of the judges suggested they keep the odd fitting label as a signature look. They listened. Today, Angostura is the global market leader in cocktail bitters, with an estimated 90% market share. This story inspires us to think: How do you plan an accident? By injecting some of this energy into our process for more disruptive results. After all, seeking perfection isn't perfect at all if it risks a lack of distinction. https://lnkd.in/eEk6UR5k #BothAndYes #AngosturaBitters #Cocktails #CocktailCulture #StaffPicks #Strategy #Design Oh! you read this far? Then enjoy our favorite Angostura infused cocktail, cheers! Waldorf 2 oz (60 ml) rye whiskey 0.75 oz (20ml) sweet vermouth 3 d. Angostura bitters Rinse w/ absinthe, Stir, strain, lemon twist (optional)
