Getting the Most Out of It
None of this is complicated — but each tip below makes a noticeable difference:
- Rinse between drinks: A quick rinse keeps flavors from carrying over between different cocktails.
- Measure everything: Use the jigger every time. Consistency is what separates good home cocktails from random ones.
- Chill your glassware: A cold glass keeps the drink at temperature longer. Ten minutes in the freezer works.
- Use plenty of fresh ice: Fill the shaker with fresh, hard ice — not the melty dregs. Good ice makes good drinks.
- Shake hard for 10–15 seconds: A timid shake under-chills. Commit to a vigorous shake until the shaker frosts.
