Zoom | Cocktail Party

Zoom

If cats drank cocktails, the Zoom is what they’d order at the bar. It’s a gentle, simple dessert drink that manages to meld cognac and cream without being cloyingly sweet.

The Zoom comes to us from 1934’s The Artistry of Mixing Drinks by Frank Meier. It is traditionally served with a dusting of chocolate powder, but it’s just as good with chocolate shavings, a drizzle of chocolate syrup on the inside of the glass, a few drops of chocolate bitters – or heck, just serve it with a chocolate bar!

I love this app

Super practical, informative, easy to use, even inspiring for lovers of cocktails or just those curious to try a few recipes over time and keep an inventory of favorite recipes handy. Updated fairly judiciously, thankfully, so it isn’t cluttered up with unproven concoctions resulting in an overwhelmingly-sized library with too many ridiculous or middling cocktails. Attractive, welcoming, well-designed UI.
