Money not only makes the world go round. It also inspires people to make great cocktails! If you're tired of classic margaritas and mojitos, below are a few options to go beyond.
Let's explore the world of finance themed cocktails to add some fun to your Friday evening or a holiday season. The experts of 1F Cash Advance have surfed the Internet for the best refreshing cocktail recipes and also offered a few signature ones that can put a smile on your face (and maybe even a few thousand dollars into your bank account).
What Do You Need to Make Business Themed Cocktails?
We all know that high-quality ingredients are crucial for preparing a money cocktail. However, they're not the only components of a tasty drink. To make your experience smooth and impress your guests with your business-themed cocktails, you might need the following additional essentials:
- Cocktail shaker. Having a reliable tool for mixing is essential. Professional bartenders prefer Boston shakers, which usually come as a set with a large shaking tin and a small tin that fits together. However, three-piece Cobbler shakers are also quite popular. Learn more about how the shakers differ and choose the one that better meets your needs;
- Strainer. A fine-mesh strainer separates ice and muddled ingredients from your smooth, delicious concoction. Look for a strainer with a spring that fits snugly against your mixing glass or shaker;
- Jigger. Accurate measurements are key to getting consistent cocktails. Choose a double-sided jigger to quickly measure both ounces and tablespoons;
- Bar spoon. The long and elegant bar spoon is needed to stir, layer, and delicately garnish your cocktails. Choose a sturdy one with a weighted end for more stability;
- Muddler: A muddler can be very useful if you need to extract the essence of fruits and herbs for a cocktail. Wooden muddlers are gentler on glassware, while silicone ones are easier to clean;
- Measuring cups and spoons. A set of measuring cups and spoons might be needed for smaller measurements and syrups.
Best Finance Themed Cocktails for 2024
Looking for something new and refreshing in the world of money drinks? Here are the best finance-themed cocktails to surprise your guests or spend a relaxing Friday evening.
One for the Money
Although this sweet cocktail requires preliminary preparation, it has every chance of not leaving you indifferent. First of all, you will need homemade cardamom-saffron tincture to prepare it. But fear not. We know how to make it properly! One for the money, two for the show. Let's find out what you need to get started.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 oz bourbon
- 1 oz orange liqueur
- 1/2 oz honey syrup
- Cardamom-saffron tincture
Method:
Prepare cardamom-saffron tincture. To do this, put the 1/4 cup Everclear, a large pinch of saffron, and 1 T cardamom pods in a small jar. Leave it there for at least a day, but preferably three or five. Then, strain it. Finally, pour your tincture into a dropper-equipped bottle. It is best to use the mixture right away.
When the tincture is ready, mix a cocktail. Combine the Cocchi, St. Germain, and lemon in a glass or cocktail shaker filled with ice. Stir for a few seconds to mix it properly and chill it down, then strain it into a tumbler filled with ice. Add about 10 drops of tincture, depending on how much spice you want. Top with prosecco and a twist of grapefruit peel. Stir again, and enjoy.
