MEASUREMENTS IN COCKTAILS
MEASUREMENTS IN COCKTAILS :
YOU LEARN TO CONTROL THE MAGIC LIQUID
Without a doubt, measures in cocktails are one of the fundamental columns that govern balance and harmony, not only for the flavor of the drinks, and they must be respected to the letter.
Many people with little professional knowledge do not usually give much importance to measurements in cocktails, but I am going to give you 3 good reasons to start doing it.
Connection between a store and its customers
It is important for a venue to respect the measurements of a drink to ensure a standard for its customers. It is a good way to build loyalty since they will be able to enjoy their favorite cocktails at any time, despite, for example, the bartenders' shift changes!
In addition, measures in cocktails are important to manage and control inventory as much as possible. Without stock control, a store would not be able to make specific forecasts, nor calculate the products it spends, nor even calculate potential receipts.
All this would translate into a one-way ticket to defeat and it is clear that, as professionals or future professionals, it will be your responsibility. It is like this, you are the golden thread that connects the material balance of a premises with the emotional integrity of your clients.
The relationship between cocktails and their measurements
Each cocktail will have its own recipe to maintain harmony and balance of flavor. A slight change in the quantities of the ingredients will change the profile of the cocktail like a spell, and depending on the customer's experience, it can be both magic... and a curse.
There are tools that allow you to be faithful to the recipes and at the same time to your professional image.
How is it measured in cocktails? There are no establishments today that do not have a jigger. A tool that years ago represented the unprofessionalism of bartenders, today means the opposite. How do you measure with a jigger?
To address this general ignorance that has discriminated against the jigger, many have returned to using the jigger with pride, but using only one part to pour all the measures in free-pouring, as a demonstration of professionalism and absolute control of the liquid gold.
The ingredients for a cocktail recipe are usually measured in Oz or Cl, Oz are for free-pouring since it is the unit of measurement with which the metal pourers are calibrated; while in the jigger there are almost always Cls, and when measuring it can be a real puzzle. The first thing you need to know is that each Oz is equivalent to 3cl, so ½Oz will be 1.5cl, 1½Oz will be 4.5cl, 2Oz will be 6cl and etc...
