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.

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 oz. gin

* 3/4 oz. dry vermouth

* Green pimento-stuffed olive for garnish

Directions

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

马提尼

好莱坞最受欢迎鸡尾酒的历史并不确切。

有人说，马提尼是在加州淘金潮时发明的，当时马丁内兹市一名暴富的矿工在当地一家酒吧点来该酒吧特色饮品庆祝，这种饮品就是马提尼。

也有人说，这种鸡尾酒最初出现于旧金山的尼克伯克酒店（ Knickerbocker Hotel )，时间大约也在淘金潮时期。

还有人说，也许马提尼得名于知名苦艾酒品牌“马提尼&罗希”（ Martini & Rossi），苦艾酒是马提尼的重要成份，而马提尼这个传统鸡尾酒的历史可以追溯到1887年。

不管你偏爱摇晃调法还是搅拌调法，想制成一杯名副其实的马提尼，就一定要用名副其实的马提尼式酒杯来盛放。

材料：

?1 1／2盎司琴酒

?3／4 盎司干苦艾酒

?装饰用的甘椒馅青橄榄

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，加入装饰性的橄榄即完成。

Margarita

Although many believe that Ernest Hemingway is the person we have to thank for the Margarita, there is a lot of evidence that points to the contrary.

The earliest mention of a cocktail specifically named Margarita was in 1953 in Esquire magazine, which describes how to make this south-of-the-border quencher.

Enjoy a frosty blended Margarita on a summer day or a cocktail on the rocks with a salty rim using this recipe.

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 oz. tequila

* 1/2 oz. triple sec

* 3 oz. lemon or lime juice or sweet and sour mix

* Lime wedge, salt, and lime slice for garnish

Directions

* Run a lime wedge around the rim of a Margarita glass and dip the rim in Margarita salt. Add ice cubes into the Margarita glass. Pour ingredients into glass and stir. Garnish with a lime slice.

玛格丽塔

虽然很多人相信海明威是玛格丽塔的发明者，但仍有大量的证据证明事实并非如此。

玛格丽塔作为鸡尾酒的名字最早出现于1953年的《时尚先生》杂志，杂志中描述了这种南部边境酒品的调制方法。

在炎炎夏日享受一杯冰镇的玛格丽塔吧，在杯子边缘粘上盐霜口味更佳。

材料：

?1 1／2 盎司龙舌兰酒

?1／2盎司橙味利口酒(triple sec)

?3盎司柠檬或青柠汁

?青柠块，岩盐以及装饰用的青柠片

制法：

?用青柠块沾湿玛格丽塔杯（译者注：也称飞碟杯）边缘，在杯口均匀地蘸上盐霜。将冰块加入玛格丽塔杯，将材料倒入杯中搅拌均匀。以青柠片装饰。

Screwdriver

True or false: the Screwdriver was invented by construction workers who wanted to add a little kick to their morning nip, so they secretly added vodka to cans of orange juice and stirred it up with their screwdrivers.

Many believe this tale to be true! Fortunately the cocktail found its way out of construction sites and into watering holes.

Ingredients

* 2 oz. vodka

* Orange juice

Directions

* Add a few ice cubes into a highball glass. Pour vodka into glass and fill the remainder of the glass with orange juice. Stir and serve.

螺丝起子

判断真假：螺丝起子的发明者是一群建筑工人，他们想要让他们的早晨饮品更带劲，于是就偷偷地将伏特加加入到橙汁拉罐中，并用螺丝起子搅拌。

很多人相信这个故事是真的！幸好这种鸡尾酒走出了建筑工地，进入了大众的酒吧中。

材料：

?2盎司伏特加

?橙汁

制法：

?将冰块加入高球杯中，倒入伏特加，再用橙汁将杯子盛满，搅拌均匀即可。

Gin and Tonic

Although a Gin and Tonic is as straightforward as it gets, the fragrant juniper berries flavoring this bar staple make it one of America's most requested cocktails.

Many believe that the Gin and Tonic rose to fame during the prohibition era in the 1920's when the sale of alcohol was illegal and bathtub gin was all the rage!

However, the drink was actually used as early as the late 1700's for medicinal purposes as quinine, or tonic water, and helped to prevent malaria.

Ingredients

* 2 oz. gin

* Tonic water

* Lemon or lime slice to garnish

Directions

* Add a few ice cubes into a highball glass. Pour gin into glass and fill the remainder of the glass with tonic water. Stir and serve. Optional: Garnish with lemon or lime slice.

金汤力

虽然金汤力的制法没什么花样，但这个酒吧重量级饮品蕴藏着杜松子的甘香，成为了全美最常被点到的鸡尾酒之一。

许多人认为，金汤力的流行始于二十世纪二十年代美国禁酒时期，当时售卖酒类饮品是违法的，所以到处充斥着私制的劣酒（译者注：所以当时的人想办法用其他饮品与这种酒混合来缓和劣酒的刺鼻气味，于是发明出了多种鸡尾酒）。

然而，其实十八世纪末期这种饮品已被用作医疗用品，其中的汤力水（其中的奎宁成分）有助于治疗疟疾。

材料：

?2 盎司杜松子酒

?汤力水

?装饰用的柠檬片或青柠片

制法：

?将冰块加入高球杯中，倒入琴酒，再用汤力水将杯子盛满，搅拌均匀即可。可选：用柠檬片或青柠片装饰杯口。
