It is up for debate how the ingredients should be poured into a drink. Each bartender will have their own theories and practices, but the commonest is to pour the liquor in the first. Next, you need to stir the ingredients. Mixing and stirring drinks is important to create a great cocktail, even though it might seem redundant.
Misunderstanding
Make cocktails by mixing the ingredients. To mix citrus fruits or other ingredients, you can use either a muddler of another sharp object. Use your dominant hand to hold the muddler at a slight angle in the glass. Use your dominant hand to press the muddler, twisting and swirling your wrist. Once the mixture is mixed, the cocktail can be enjoyed.
Stir
A cocktail should be stirred gently. It's much more elegant than shaking and not as showy. The perfect cocktail stir is similar to the graceful moves of a classical violinist. The spoon should be used to hold the ice in place as it moves around your glass.
Dry shake
There are many ways to make a cocktail. Dry Shake, is one of the most popular methods to create a cocktail. It has two types liquid ingredients: aquafaba and egg white. It does not contain ice. This will prevent it from frothing properly, unlike traditional drinks. For better foaming, however, you can use a Hawthrone Strainer to add springs to the Dry Shake.
Ice and muddle
You can make the perfect cocktail by mixing all your ingredients. To determine the exact amount of ingredients you need, you can use liquid measuring cups. Then add the crushed ice. Mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour
There are many different ways to make a cocktail. A jigger is a good way to measure the liquid. However, a clear glass is more accurate. A bartender can see the contents of the cocktail better and can eyeball the pour.
Use ice
Ice is a key ingredient in cocktails. A large block of ice should be clear with no cloudy edges. Drinks made with small, cloudy blocks will be less watery.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. This drink will use Cognac, a French distilled spirit made of fermented grapes. It is clear in most cases, but it can sometimes be aged in oak barrels. Cognac can be purchased at specialty liquor stores or online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Add enough cold tap water to cover the sugar by 2 inches. Allow to rest overnight. Strain the sugar crystals out of the cheesecloth and dispose them. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
Our Brandy Alexander Cocktail will be made with Cognac and simple syrup. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
