Homemade Cocktails and Mixology

April 10, 2015 Leave a Comment

Who doesn’t want to improve their homemade cocktails?

Abilene bartenders and mixologists gave us 6 quality tips about how to be successful mixing drinks at home.  And they will make you want to get up and mix your own Gimlet A La Basil  right now.  But if you, like some of us at Scene, are still feeling a little lost, here are a few extra tips to keep you going.

Let’s start with the very beginning.  It’s a very good place to start! Building an at home bar cabinet can seem like a daunting task. With so many alcohol options available, how do you pick what you need to build the cocktails you want? This is a prioritized shopping list of the basics.  From spirits to liquors to mixers, this is a great place to start.

Obviously, the wonderful bartenders of Abilene Scene have honed their craft to perfection.  There really will never be a replacement for the care and dedication they put into serving you the drinks you love.   But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to pour yourself a Cucumber Martini in the back yard.

Have you tried these Abilene cocktails at home?  Which was your favorite?
