A pressed drink is a cocktail that combines liquors with liqueurs and other spices. This drink is served in a glass of ice. There are a number of recipes that use this technique, and they are easy to make at home.
The French press is a classic beverage-brewing tool that has become increasingly popular in the modern cocktail renaissance. This tool allows bartenders to create drinks that taste like they've been steeped for hours without the need for a shaker.
Prepare your ingredients first before making a French Press drink. It is best to let the ingredients infuse for a long time so they can release their aromas and flavors into the cocktail. You can infuse ingredients for a few minutes or several hours depending on the goal.
You may want to make a cold beverage, so you will need to mix the ingredients with alcohol at room temperatures. The infusion process for hot cocktail is much easier, since the alcohol can simply be heated until it reaches the tea-brewing temperature, before steeping the ingredients.
French presses allow you to infuse many ingredients including herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Make your own pressed cocktail using your favorite liquids like vodka, tequila and whiskey.

How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. It is typically served in chilled glasses. It should be enjoyed straight up. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
A martini can be served with two olives. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. Although there are many vermouths on the market, we recommend one that does not contain any added sugar. Sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Combine all ingredients in a shaker until smooth. Mix well in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an olive.
You can make a martini by using the shaker. Follow these steps. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
