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. Once the ingredients are in the glass, the next step is to stir them. Mixing and stirring drinks is important to create a great cocktail, even though it might seem redundant.
Avoid confusion
Make cocktails by mixing the ingredients. You can use a muddler or other sharp object to muddle citrus fruits or other ingredients. Your dominant hand should hold the muddler so it's at a slight angle within the glass. Apply pressure to the muddler while twisting and twirling your wrist. The cocktail is ready when it is all mixed.
Stir
Stirring a cocktail gently is the best method to make it. It's more elegant than shaking and isn't as showy. The perfect cocktail stir is similar to the graceful moves of a classical violinist. You want the spoon to be holding the ice while it moves around in the glass.
Dry shake
There are several ways to create a cocktail. Dry Shake: This is one method. It has two types liquid ingredients: aquafaba and egg white. Unlike traditional drinks, it doesn't use ice, as this will prevent proper frothing. For better foaming, however, you can use a Hawthrone Strainer to add springs to the Dry Shake.
Muddle with ice
You can make the perfect cocktail by mixing all your ingredients. To make sure you have the right amount, you can use a measuring cup. Add crushed ice to your glass. Mix the ingredients together until evenly distributed in the glass.
Pour
There are many ways to pour a cocktail. A jigger is a good way to measure the liquid. However, a clear glass is more accurate. Bartenders can better see the contents of the cocktails and can visually inspect the pour.
Mix with ice
Cocktails are incomplete without ice. You should use a large clear block without any cloudy edges. The drink will become watery if it has small cubes that are cloudy.
