or a starter guide to OUR bar.
Before we start throwing up drink recipes, we wanted to let you know there are some really quick and easy preparation techniques that we follow.
1. Frost all glasses, both those used for preparation and drinking. We’re talking martini glasses, shot glasses, shakers and highballs. The colder the better, unless it’s in bed with you.
2. Chill most liquors, particularly vodkas and cream-based drinks.
3. Use smaller chips of ice when possible. It’s simple science - a little collision theory at work. The more little pieces sidling up against one another, the more they will hit, chip and melt… and the colder your drink will get.
4. In general, we’re shakers. Not stirrers. (But sometimes we muddle). The key to shaking a great drink is looking for this:
...you want to shake until you get a nice, frosty shaking vessel. And once poured, little frosty swirls should glisten on the surface of your drink.
Unless otherwise noted (and with the obvious exception of hot drinks), all of our recipes will employ these techniques. So if you want to do it just like us (how sweet!) keep these basics in mind.
Love everybody in the room. Bye.
