"Bull's Eye" (cocktail): recipe for cooking, ingredients

More and more people now prefer not to get drunk during the feast, but to spend time culturally in communication, sipping drinks slowly. And the best for this pastime are the cocktails: the intoxication is delayed, the taste is provided, the glass is enough for a long time. Many have their favorite drinks; Others prefer to experiment. Among the most popular compositions - "Bull's Eye", a cocktail that does not require any intricate ingredients, no special skills, no special equipment.

Preparation of cocktails: the basics of barmen art

If you decide to join the slender ranks of the supporters of the elegant use of the fever, you should take a short walk on the theory. Otherwise, in many cases, you can simply spoil the original ingredients, having received from them something unappetizing and dubious in flavor.

There are only four methods for joining together a variety of liquids. True, some of them have variations, but they are mastered in the course of mastering barman skills.

1. Build: the connection of components is carried out directly in the fouger. Most often, they prepare shots and light cocktails. The methodology has several versions. If Building is used, all the ingredients are simply poured into the glass with ice and a stick is inserted to mix them. That's exactly what Bull's Eye is doing. The cocktail should not be stirred, so the stick may not be fed to it.
2. Next comes Layering, which produces layered drinks. It will require knowledge of the density of the drinks, otherwise they will mix when poured.
3. The reception of Muddling implies the use of a crush, which is pressed into the solid constituents of the cocktail, most often fruit.
4. The Stir method is used when there are more than three drinks connected, but they are not too dense. With it, a mixing glass is used, into which ice is poured and liquids are poured, after which it is rotated with a bar spoon. A classic example of a cocktail, which is prepared in this way, is James Bond's favorite dry martini.
5. Shake is known to our people most of all, this way they prepare cocktails from difficult mixed drinks. Everything merges into a shaker and is shaken.
6. Blend - a technique that uses a blender (the usual, kitchen). Helps make a drink from viscous ingredients - ice cream or the same fruits. For example, "Pina Kolada."

At home, the preparation of cocktails can be done without a shaker or a mixing cup. Folk craftsmen use instead of them any turned-up vessel and receive the same result.

"Bull high"

This is how it was originally called "Bull's Eye". Cocktail, by the way, was not invented for a feast. They were treated to a hangover the next morning after those, and very successfully. In a glass, 80 grams of tomato juice is poured, on top (on a spoon or on a wall) - as much strong beef broth. Then the yolk is separated from the egg and carefully, so that it does not drown, descends into the liquid. Lastly, half a stash of vodka is poured. Depending on the strength of the hangover, its amount can vary from 25 to 50 grams. The cocktail is poured and peppered, flavored with the Weisschester and Tabasco sauces (if any), and drinks, and at a gulp. Even the most severe hangover goes away almost immediately.

Bull's Eye in Russian

Alcoholic beverage, according to our people, should be drunk during the holiday, and not after it. Under this view, the cocktail "Bull's Eye" was adapted. The recipe has not changed much. Modifications were basically the ratio. Tomato juice and vodka are taken in equal proportions - 150 grams each. Again, first the tomato juice is poured, pre-salted. Yolk is carefully introduced into it, after which vodka is added no less accurately. Sauces - if desired; In the original recipe they are absent. Interesting classics of use: when drinking yolk adheres to the language, and at the end of it chokes on the palate. Experts promise a pleasant and interesting effect.

Wine option

In this version of the cocktail, strong drinks are not available. Probably, it is designed for ladies. The yolk drops into the wine glass, after which the glass is filled to the top with malago. Take into account that this wine can be of different shades, from golden to almost black. In the cocktail is something average, a dense red color.

Ginger Bull's Eye

Why this drink got a similar name, is covered by the darkness of the mystery - the egg does not enter into it, unlike the listed options. Maybe, after drinking, the eye of a drunk begins to resemble a bull's eye - the cocktail is masculine and stern in style. For him, in a glass with poured ice, 30 ml of brandy, double the volume of cider, then it is added almost to the edge of ginger ale, the cocktail is mixed and drunk in large sips (but not volley and not hurrying).

We drink vodka elegantly

Not everyone can like the idea of ingesting a raw egg, just as ginger ale with brandy is not always at hand. If you like vodka with tomato juice, you can recall a few successful and popular cocktails with their participation:

1. Beyond any competition is the "Bloody Mary". In the classical version, two pieces of vodka are shaken in a mixing glass, five are natural tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce (2 drops), Tabasco sauce (4 drops), salt, pepper and celery. Strain, decorate with a sprig of celery and enjoy.
2. In the previous set, add one share of tequila - and get "Murder Mary".
3. Cocktail "Under the cold". It will fit in a large pile or a glass for a whiskey. Contains 20 ml of tomato juice and vodka (layers), salt and some horseradish (placed on juice).

Those who do not welcome tomato juice in drinks can offer simple alcoholic cocktails without it. Almost the most famous of them is the Screwdriver. A glass, at the bottom of which ice is poured, is filled by a third with good vodka. The remaining volume is freshly squeezed orange juice. Stir and drink, savoring.

Very interesting and strong cocktail called Cossack Charge, which in free translation sounds like "Cossack dose" (or "charge", or "loading"). For him, ice, vodka (three lobes), cognac and cherry brandy (one part) are joined by a shaker.
