As you know there is a huge variety of cocktails and to take some 10 out of them is quite a difficult task; so I would describe the most popular cocktail recipes here.

Kir Royal

As the name suggests its taste will give you a special feeling. It is not difficult to prepare too. You just need to have Crème de Cassis, Chilled champagne and cherries if you want. First of all take a cocktail glass and pour 1 Oz of crème de cassis. Now, tilt the glass and fill it with the chilled champagne. You can use sparkling wine instead of crème de cassis too. Then you have to stir it properly. A spoon can be very effective here. It is almost done. If you have some cherries then throw one or two into the glass and now your Kir Royal is ready. Enjoy.

Dry Martini

This is another popular cocktail and the recipe is worth to know. Here you would need gin, dry vermouth, olives and orange. Take two and a half ounces gin, 2 or 3 olives, half ounce dry vermouth and mix all of them in a mixing glass that is filled with ice cubes. Stir it properly. Then strain into a chilled glass; a cocktail glass would be fantastic. You can add a dash of orange now. Here you can garnish with lemon twist too. Your desired cocktail is ready to enjoy.

Manhattan

This is a classic cocktail and is very popular. Take 2 ounces rye whiskey, half ounce vermouth (sweet), 2 or 3 dashes of angostura bitters and maraschino cherry and pour them into a mixing glass with some ice cubes. Mix them well and strain into a cocktail glass. Now, you just need to garnish with cherry and your Manhattan is ready.

Margarita

You would need to have 2 Oz Tequila, 1 or 2 lemon, 1 Oz orange liqueur, Lime Cordial and some ice cubes. Pour all the ingredients into the mixing glass. Add some ice cubes; 7 or 8 will do. Now, squeeze a whole lime inside and shake it properly. Note, this is very important here. Now, you need to strain the cocktail into a chilled cocktail glass. You can place a lime peel on the rim or can put salt here. And thus your Margarita would be ready or you to be served.

Martinez

After Margarita I should add Martinez here- a wonderful cocktail. You need 2 Oz gin, ¾ ounce vermouth (sweet), ¼ ounce maraschino liqueur, lemon twist and dash of angostura bitters. Pour all these ingredients into a shaker- filled with ice cubes. Now, you have to stir it well and strain into a chilled glass. You can twist the lemon peel here, twist it over the mixture and drop it into that chilled glass. Your drink is now ready.

To make this drink which is very popular- specially, among the ladies, you need to have some orange juice and sparkling wine. You will need to fill half of your glass with cold orange juice. Tilt the glass and pour your sparkling wine into it. Now, stir it properly with a spoon or whatever you have near you. Your wonderful Mimosa is ready to enjoy.

Vodka Tonic

2 ounces vodka, tonic water, splash of lime juice and lime wedge would make you vodka tonic. Pour the vodka and lime juice into a glass. Now, pour tonic. Stir it well. Now, add the lime garnish and your vodka tonic recipe is just finished.

What is Sushi Bar

As one of the most popular dishes in the world, sushi has created a lot of interest from vendors, cafeterias, restaurants, hotels, and other hospitality industry operators. This has led to the blossoming of cafeteria-like establishments specializing in preparing and serving sushi meals. In these establishments, a customer can walk to the counter and purchase a readymade to-go sushi meal. These establishments, popularly known as sushi bars, operate like fast food vendors, though most have restaurant-styled sitting areas. Sushi bars are also designed like regular alcohol-serving bars. Patrons get to see the chef in action, preparing meals in the clients’ line of sight. One important thing to keep in mind is that sushi was borne out of the Buddhist custom of avoiding meat products, so the customer can always ask the chef directly not to include fish in their sushi serving.

Basic Preparation of Sushi Bar

With a long, rich, history, sushi has come a long way as a menu item. It appears on the fast food menu and as specialized gourmet cuisine. Therefore, there is so much interest in the preparation of sushi both in the home and restaurant setting. There are many intricate and delicate skills involved at learning to be a qualified sushi chef and it takes at least three years to qualify as an entry level chef. However, there are some basic tips at making preparations at a sushi bar. The most important thing to remember when making basic preparations of a sushi bar is to get the correct ingredients. The most common mistake is when preparing sushi at home, many people tend to use fish bought indiscriminately at the market. One has to purchase sushi-grade fish to obtain the best quality fish and this is not always readily available. Sushi-grade fish is usually treated very differently compared to regular market fish. Market fish, having not been taken through the strict rigors of “sushi-care”, may cause bacterial and fungal infections when consumed.

The next most important factor to consider when making sushi is to remember that the most important ingredient in sushi is the rice, not the fish. The rice should never be fermented if served with the fish, and all modern forms of sushi are served with rice. Actually, the fish is optional, the rice is a must! The chef must ensure that they have fresh seaweed, cucumber, wasabi, and properly treated fish. The seaweed especially needs to be in the best condition to maintain the proper texture and taste.

Popularity of Sushi Bar

Sushi has been hailed as one of the safest sources of proteins by modern nutritionists. This has led it its widespread popularity. The popularity of sushi bars has been enhanced further by the speed and simplicity of sushi preparation. The mass production sushi machines have also made it an available fast food product for the busy person. This has made the running of sushi bars a viable business in almost every corner of the world today. One can hardly visit any coastal town today that lacks a sushi bar. There are numerous online directories specially dedicated to sushi bars in many large cities. Due to modern preservation and mass production methods, sushi bars are now not limited just to coastal towns, but can be found in major towns and cities inland.
