Technique school
Six moves.
A lifetime of
good drinks.
Master the fundamentals and you can improvise with confidence. No waistcoat required.
Start with shaking↗
Stir
Spirit-forward drinks want silky dilution, not air. Stir quietly for 20–30 seconds.
Build
Make it right in the serving glass. Add the fizzy ingredient last and stir once.
Muddle
Press herbs gently; twist fruit firmly. Mint should be fragrant, never pulverized.
Strain
Use a Hawthorne after shaking; a julep strainer after stirring; fine-strain for polish.
Taste
The pro move: taste before serving. Balance strong, sweet, sour, and dilution.
Can't decide?
Let chance
tend the bar.
