Spirits and Bartender Illustrated Originally published 2022-04-05
Cocktail recipes have always been a focus of “Bartender Illustrated”. Our 2018 article “Index of Various Cocktails” had nearly one million views! Starting from November 2021, we’ve added a new column to introduce the recommended cocktail recipes published by the International Bartenders Association (IBA), hoping to help novice bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts!
We have reached the fifth installment of the IBA (International Bartenders Association) recipe series on contemporary classic cocktails.
Today we’ll discuss several cocktails that are well-known both in China and worldwide, as well as some that may appear simple in terms of ingredients but are very drinkable.
Many enthusiasts in their early stages believe that cocktails with more ingredients taste better, but in reality, adding more ingredients brings higher instability, and what you might get is a cocktail of indeterminate character.
NO.19
Long Island Ice Tea
This cocktail is considered one of the most well-known cocktails in China. It originated in Long Island, USA, and became popular worldwide in the 1990s.
Although it looks like a cup of tea, it has a high alcohol content, especially since it’s mixed with multiple base spirits. Friends with average alcohol tolerance might get drunk after just one glass.

15 ml Tequila
15 ml White rum
15 ml Cointreau

Margarita
This cocktail can almost be considered as the most famous tequila cocktail.
There are many versions of the story about it, but the more credible version is that Margarita is an adaptation of another very popular Mexican cocktail, the Daisy. During the Prohibition era, many Americans crossed the border to Mexico to drink, making it very popular during this period.

The city unfolded in its most passionate and vibrant form after being bathed in sunlight, it was ecstatic. During my honeymoon trip in 2013, I once again started from here without hesitation.

Visiting Pompeii, Italy: Frozen in Tragic Beauty
You can still see their appearance, the way they looked in the last second before they disappeared – residents, kettles, bread, city walls… Country: Italy Location: Southern Italy Best travel time: March to May, September to November Pompeii, also translated as “Pompei”, on August 24, 79 AD, this once-glorious ancient Roman city was instantly buried deep underground by the suddenly erupting ash from Mount Vesuvius. It wasn’t until 1748, when a farmer accidentally discovered a metal chest filled with gold and silver jewelry and ancient coins while turning soil in his vineyard, that the ancient city of Pompeii, the second largest city in the ancient Roman Empire, bustling with merchants, full of material desires and extremely luxurious, gradually reappeared before the world’s eyes. The ancient city of Pompeii preserves a large number of architectural remains and cultural artifacts from the ancient Roman Empire period, and is known as the most famous ancient city ruins in the world. Because it was buried by volcanic ash, the streets and houses in the ancient city are relatively well-preserved. The ruins of the dwellings stir one’s emotions and set the imagination wandering. The amphitheater could accommodate the entire population of Pompeii. Mount Vesuvius is…

Bucket List: 15 Places to Visit in China, Visiting Half Meets the Standard, Those Who’ve Visited All Are True Masters!
Travel Essays: From Northern Scenery to Southern Water Towns, From Snowy Mountains and Sacred Lakes to Ancient City Ruins, These places connect our past and present Introduction: When I gazed at the stars by Namtso Lake, I suddenly understood what “Heaven and Earth possess great beauty” means In the early morning on the northern Tibetan Plateau, I wrapped my down jacket tightly around me and stood by the lake, looking up at the vast sky. The Milky Way stretched across the sky like a glowing ribbon of sand, with the lake’s surface reflecting the starlight, as if two starry skies existed simultaneously. The Tibetan elder beside me said softly: “Look, the stars are washing their hands in the lake.” He pointed to the gently rippling waves of light: “Every star has its own reflection, just as everyone can find their own shadow here.” In that moment, I understood: The most beautiful scenery isn’t in your camera, but in the moment when you converse with heaven and earth. The 15 places I’m going to talk about today are not just photo opportunities, but places that can touch your soul. 1. Lijiang Ancient Town: “Slow Time Delivery” at the Foot of Snow…
