After a week of playing chemist in the kitchen and testing the results among a friendly crowd, I can now tell everyone: Yes, yes, yes. Homemade cocktail ingredients are indeed worth it.

A cocktail consists of a few ounces of liquid and relies on only a few ingredients. If a cherry, a splash of tonic water or a dash of bitters is one of them, then how those ingredients are prepared makes a big difference.

Great article, and be sure to check out the “Mix Master Recipes” section on the right hand side.

I’ve done some nice marachino cherries - next on my list are cocktail onions or the cocktail olives in the latest issue of Imbibe.
