最常见的鸡尾酒酒谱

最常见的鸡尾酒酒谱

Mixologists (a.k.a. your friendly neighborhood bartenders) can whip up hundreds of cocktail recipes, but the truth is, most people order the same drinks over and over again.

The always fashionable Martini and trendy Cosmopolitan top the list of America's most common drink recipes, along with a few others. Read on for great recipes and the history of these classic cocktails.

调酒师（或者叫做附近酒吧的友善酒保）可以给你晃出好几百种鸡尾酒，然而事实上，绝大多数人都只会点某几种最常见的酒。

在美国最常见鸡尾酒名单上，一向很时尚的马提尼（Martini）和柯梦波丹（Cosmopolitan）雄踞榜首。以下将为您介绍经典款鸡尾酒的酒谱及其历史轶事。

Cosmopolitan

The Cosmopolitan is certainly the most contemporary drink out of all the cocktails included in this collection.

Many attribute its creation to John Caine, a Midwestern man who traveled to San Francisco and popularized his version of the Cosmo in 1987. Apparently a man named Toby Cecchini has a similar story around the same time frame, but he served his Cosmos in Manhattan.

It is important to note that Mr. Boston's 50th Anniversary Official Bartender's Guide published in 1984 makes no mention of the Cosmopolitan cocktail.

The Cosmopolitan had little press until it became the signature sip of the ladies on the hit TV show "Sex in the City" and exploded in popularity.

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 oz. vodka

* 1 oz. cranberry juice

* 1/4 oz. Cointreau or triple sec

* Splash of fresh lime juice

* Lime wedge for garnish

Directions

* Add ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a Martini glass. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve.

柯梦波丹

在这次的鸡尾酒集锦介绍中，柯梦波丹必然是出道最晚的鸡尾酒。

许多人认为它的创始人是约翰⋅凯恩（John Caine），他来自美国中西部地区，1987年在旧金山旅行的时候发明了凯恩版本的柯梦波丹。然而众所周知的是另一个叫托比⋅赛基尼（ Toby Cecchini）的人也在同一历史时期有过类似的故事，不同的是赛基尼版的柯梦波丹是在曼哈顿发明的。

值得一提的是，“波士顿先生”酿酒厂于1984年发布的《五十周年纪念版官方调酒师指南》中完全没有提及柯梦波丹。

柯梦波丹本无太大名气，直到某天它成为了热门美剧“欲望都市”中女主角们的标志性饮品，之后就一炮而红。

材料：

∙1 1/2盎司伏特加

∙1 盎司红莓汁

∙1／4盎司君度酒(Cointreau) 或橙味利口酒(triple sec)

∙鲜榨青柠汁

∙用于装饰的青柠

制法：

将以上材料加入盛冰块的摇酒壶中摇匀，滤掉冰块后倒入马提尼式酒杯（译者注：杯子最好冰过）中，将青柠装饰于杯口即完成。

Martini

Hollywood's favorite cocktail has questionable origins.

Some say that the Martini was invented during the gold rush period when a miner struck it rich in Martinez, CA and celebrated at a local bar by ordering the house special, a Martini.

Others argue that the cocktail was first served at the Knickerbocker Hotel in San Francisco, CA around the same time period.

Or perhaps the cocktail got its name from Martini & Rossi Dry Vermouth, one of two ingredients in the traditional drink that has been around since 1887.

No matter how you like it, shaken or stirred, in order for the drink to be a Martini it must be served in the iconic glass.
