Craft cocktails are the star of the trendy bars, but you don't have to go out to enjoy them; you can mix things up in your own home. Kristy Cook, the bar manager of Central Kitchen + Bar in Downtown Detroit, joined Tati Amare and Jason Carr in the studio thanks to our friends at Pernod Ricard. Cook showed us a new way to impress on Valentine's Day with some craft cocktails.
The first drink was called French 75. Cook used a shot of cognac with lemon juice and simple syrup with ice, shaken and topped off with some champagne and a lime. Next she mixed up the famous Cosmo using Absolut Citron, simple syrup, lime juice and cranberry juice shaken up with ice and garnished with a lime. The last drink Cook made was a Bramble, which includes gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and a little bit of creme de mure shaken with ice and topped off with raspberries.
