This article will focus on cocktails that consist of two ingredients. Based on our experience, these simple cocktails are most often prepared at the bar, and that is why they can be considered successful.
Cocktail saves you time and money
Using 2 ingredients, you save not only money on expensive cocktail ingredients, but also the time spent on preparing it.
You can come up with a cool name for your cocktail as there are many ways to say “two”
Duo? Pair? Together? All of these words mean “two”, which means you’re using two ingredients. Your drink can be called “Doubler”, “Double”, “Sweet Duet” or whatever your fancy.
Almost impossible to screw up
Whether you’re in an expensive restaurant, an ordinary bar, or in a friend’s kitchen, making such a cocktail is very simple. And at the same time, it is incredibly difficult to somehow spoil or confuse something when cooking.
There are many variations and combinations
The more ingredients in a cocktail, the more exceptions, since not all ingredients can be combined with each other. In the case of two ingredients, there are much fewer such exceptions.
No special bar tools needed
You may need a bar spoon, but if a spoon is not at hand, you can even use your finger.
No leftovers
Every ingredient will be used. Even if you choose to garnish your cocktail with a slice of lemon or lemon zest, you can eat the rest of the lemon later. But in any case, there will be a minimum of waste compared to more complex cocktails.
You can invite as many friends as you want
It’s always nice to surprise your friends with Manhattan or Long Island, but how nice it will be when you have to cook 2, 3 or 10 servings. That is why two-ingredient cocktails are ideal for a party where there will be a lot of people.
Dishes don’t matter
Ordinary glass, rocks or collins? For such cocktails, the specific shape of the dishes in which you serve them is not important. If only certain glasses or glasses are suitable for some cocktails, then even the most ordinary plastic cups will do here.
