A cocktail is a drink that contains several components. Cocktails can be both alcoholic and light tonic drinks. The word cocktail comes from the English expression "cock tail", which means "cock tail", because of the colorfulness of the drink. Today, in any bar, at each disco, cocktails are an integral part of the party. Let us consider in more detail several popular combined drinks and methods for their preparation.
Hiroshima is a multi-layer cocktail. It was named because of its appearance, which resembles a nuclear explosion. It was invented by Russian bartenders, as soon as they thought of such an “explosive” composition of the cocktail. It includes: aniseed liqueur Sambuca - 20 ml; Bailey's creamy liquor - 20 ml; absinthe - 10 ml; Grenadine Syrup - a couple drops.
The technology for preparing a drink such as Hiroshima (a cocktail is simply obliged to have clearly separated layers) is that you need to carefully pour one drink after another into the stack, otherwise it will not work to achieve the desired effect.
To begin with, pour 20 ml of Sambuca molinari into a shot glass for short cocktails - shot, then gently pour the beilis along the edges of the pile (using a knife or an inverted teaspoon), it forms a second layer. After that also gently fill in absinthe. A couple drops of grenadine are poured at the end. Slowly sinking to the bottom of the pile, the grenadines creates the illusion of a nuclear explosion. Everyone remembers that Hiroshima is a cocktail with an explosion association, therefore, we will need fire. Light absinthe, slightly moistening the tube, quickly insert it into the stack and immediately pull it into yourself.
Here it is, a Hiroshima drink! A cocktail acts like a bomb, though it is already in the body. Wait for the fireworks in your head. A drink for lovers of endless movement. Complete separation!

Negroni - this cocktail was invented in 1919 in Italy. When visiting one of the bars in Florence, Count Camillo Negroni asked the bartender to slightly change his favorite Americano cocktail, since he did not get him drunk. The bartender replaced the soda with gin, and instead of a lemon slice put in the glass an orange count. The Count liked the new composition so much that even at his social events, he asked the bartenders to add gin to Americano. So there was a new Negroni cocktail. It’s easy to cook.
The composition of Negroni includes 30 ml of gin, 30 ml of Campari bitter, 30 ml of red vermouth. As a decoration, use an orange slice.
Pour all the ingredients for a cocktail into an ice shaker. After mixing thoroughly, pour a cocktail into a glass with ice and garnish with a slice of orange. There are several more Negroni variations. A cocktail in Italy, for example, is made from vodka (instead of gin) and is called "blacks". Effervescent Negroni is poured into martini glasses, adding wine or champagne. Such a drink guarantees an excellent mood and will decorate any party with its appearance.
