Frequently Asked Questions
01What kind of cocktail ingredients can I find in Konstantakopoulos liquor store?
You can find a wide range of liqueurs. The flavors start from gooseberry, pineapple, strawberry and go up to vanilla, cinnamon and rose. The collection of syrups, with similar flavors, is also large. Purees, which also hold an important place in the world of cocktails, are also countless. Bitters could not be missing from the list of ingredients for cocktails. Some typical and some sophisticated, all can highlight your mix. Finally, you can find necessary juices, such as tomato juice and lime juice, as well as frozen fruits, to decorate your creation.
02Which are the basic cocktail ingredients I should have in my house?
We start from the cocktail base. A rum, a whiskey, a vodka, a gin and a tequila are essential. The style of cocktails you love will determine the brands of the above drinks. It is impossible to exclude some liqueurs (typically triple sec) and juices, such as those of citrus fruits. Syrups will offer the necessary sweetness to your mix and the fruits will decorate your glass beautifully. You should not skip soda water, tonic water and some bitters, for the "spark" of the cocktail.
03Which are the most famous cocktail ingredients?
Rum (white and aged), vodka and whiskey are fundamental. They should be accompanied by lime and orange juice, soda water, some syrups and of course... ice.
04Are there alcohol-free cocktail ingredients?
Unlike bitters, which can reach a high alcohol content, juices, purees and syrups are non-alcohol ingredients.
05Are there any suggestions for combinations of cocktail ingredients?
By mixing white rum, lime juice and sugar syrup in a 2:1:0,5 ratio and garnishing with a lime twist, you get a refreshing Daiquiri. The summer-conquering Sex On The Beach is made with vodka, orange juice and cranberry juice, in a ratio of 1:1:1, with the addition of a small amount of peach juice. Some also add a small amount of creme de cassis. Finally, the ever-appealing Margarita contains tequila (preferably lightly aged), lime juice and triple sec liqueur, in a 2:1:1 ratio. Don't forget ice!
06What's the difference between classic and premium cocktail ingredients?
An ordinary blended whiskey could be considered as a classic ingredient. A 12-year-old whiskey, though, is considered premium. Accordingly, a simple orange juice or orange syrup lacks the premium character of an orange bitters.
