BARTENDING TECHNIQUES FOR MAKING PERFECT
COCKTAILS
STIRRING
pour gourmet ice with drinks ingredients into a cocktail shaker and mix for about 10 seconds
BUILDING
it is the simplest and fastest way to make a cocktail. It allows us to mix a spirit with a mixer over gourmet ice and serve it straight away. There is no need for any advanced tools when building a drink.
THROWING
it is a long-forgotten cocktail preparation technique. It is the act of straining a cocktail mix from one tin into another via a long pour. This motion adds oxygen to the mix, which releases aromatics of certain ingredients that may not have been prevalent before.
SMOKING
the idea with smoke on a cocktail is to allow the flavors of the liquid and the smoke to infuse one another. The longer you let them sit with each other the more their flavors get to play.
BLENDING
an electric blender is needed for recipes containing fruit or other ingredients which do not break down by shaking. Blending is an appropriate way of combining these ingredients with others, creating a smooth ready to serve mixture.
