the range for the bar in front of friends, then, of course, you can buy
absolutely everything that comes to hand and has at least some
attitude to the preparation of cocktails. However, the question is:

The titles for many are fantastic. In fact,
everything is much simpler: many of the things in this list
met in clubs, watching the bartender, who is preparing for you

Джиггер — это небольшой металлический
Cup, consisting of two parts. One of them is a little more, but
the other is slightly smaller. Standard jiggers are usually
the size of 20/40 ml and 25/50 ml. A jigger is a measuring cup,
with which the bartender measures the amount of alcohol or
soft drink for a cocktail. Sometimes this thing can be
single or even triple, cone-shaped or with straight walls.
Often, many jiggers have a measuring scale.
Шейкер — предмет для смешивания ингредиентов.
It is of three types:
- Cobbler – a three-part device with a strainer and a lid of
of stainless steel, - Boston Shaker – two piece shaker, one of which
glass and the other metal. - French Shaker – it looks like a cobbler, but the strainer in it

which is necessary for screening out large pieces of ice, as well as fruit.
Through the strainer, the drink is usually poured into a glass, after
shaking in a shaker. Some shakers have built-in
strainer, which is extremely convenient for home use.
Мадлер многих ставит в тупик своим научным
the name, however, is actually much simpler. This is ordinary
tolkushka, which is used for squeezing the juice and pulp or
chafing fruit for smoothies. Madler is made from wood,
metal or plastic. At one end it can be located
smooth tolkushka, and on the other – notched. Madler is

the so-called “long drink”, when people for conversation slowly

undiluted. But there are cocktails like “B-52”, which
served in this dish.
3. Коктейльные рюмки, представляющие собой
