Terminology

With the previous posts, some doubts appeared on the terminology applied in the manufacture of beverages.... here I leave a few meanings ...

Dash: Dash to call a minimum requirement of an ingredient, usually not included in percentage. Thus, acocktail that you complete 100% of your ingredients, you can still include a "dash" of something. Despite being a small measure, it is important to give the personal touch to the drinkwe do, as in the case of Tequila Sunrise, where the final grenadine gives a very characteristic effect. Usuallycorresponds to about 1/32 of an ounce.

Splash: Is a little vague as well, made ​​comfortable by the bartender. Thus a splash not included with the recipe, but would become a new detail to the bartender decides to add or not the cocktail.

Garnish: Call garnish with all the trimmings that you can make a cocktail, or accompanying it. In the field ofbartendería lasfamosas find colored straws, fruit, umbrellas and sticks beaters anyway. But the word garnishhas a more global sense, in food for example, is called to the profession that is dedicated just to the decorand food presentation of an artistic way.
