Although there are many theories on how to pour ingredients into drinks, every bartender uses their own methods and customs. However, the most common is to pour the liquor before the other ingredients. Once the ingredients are in the glass, the next step is to stir them. Although mixing and stirring cocktails may seem like an unnecessary step, it is essential to make a great one.
Misunderstanding
Mix the ingredients together to create cocktails. A muddler, or another sharp object, can be used to mix citrus fruits or other ingredients. Use your dominant hand to hold the muddler at a slight angle in the glass. While twisting and turning your wrist, apply pressure to the muddler. When the mixture is finished, the cocktail is ready.
Stir
The best way to prepare a cocktail is to stir it 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 a few different ways to build a cocktail. Dry Shake: This is one method. It has two types liquid ingredients: aquafaba and egg white. This drink does not use ice like other drinks. Ice will cause it to stop proper frothing. For better foaming, however, you can use a Hawthrone Strainer to add springs to the Dry Shake.
Use ice to mix
To create the perfect cocktail, mull your ingredients together. To get the correct amount of ingredients, you can use a liquid measuring spoon. Then, you should add crushed ice to the glass. Combine the ingredients in a bowl until they are evenly distributed.
Pour
There are many methods to mix a cocktail. It is possible to use a measuring jigger to help you measure the liquid. A clear glass, however, is better. Bartenders have better visual perception and can read the contents of each cocktail.
Use ice
Ice is a key ingredient in cocktails. Use a large block that is clear and does not have cloudy edges. Drinks with small, cloudy cubes are more likely to become watery.

How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. It is typically served in chilled glasses. It is best to have a martini straight up. It will taste bad if it is mixed.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. 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 more 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. 1 ounce vodka is added. Mix well. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
