How Drinks Are Made

How To Serve On The Rocks: Pour drink onto ice into the rock glass, garnish, and serve along with a napkin.

How To Serve Straight Up: Pour drink onto ice in a mixing glass, stir 6 - 11 times, strain and pour in a stemmed glass, garnish, and serve along with a napkin.

How To Make A HighBall: Fill Hi-Ball glass with ice, fill with requested liquor, add the requested mix, garnish, insert stir rod, and serve along with a napkin.

How To Make A Shooter: "Shooter" means - any drink chilled over ice, shaken, and then served by itself in a shot glass, cordial or rock glass. The measurements can vary from 1/8 to 5/8 oz on each spirit used in the shooter.

When To Stir Your Drinks: Drinks which contain clear liquors and ingredients will require stirring with ice for proper mixing. Stir drinks which contain a carbonated mixer (Club Soda, Tonic, Ginger Ale, Cola, ect.) gently to maintain the sparkle and effervescence. Remember, too little stirring fails to mix or cool the ingredients, and too much stirring can melt the ice and dilute the drink.

When To Shake Your Drinks: Drinks that contain fruit juices, sugar, eggs, cream or other ingredients difficult to mix should be shaken. For thorough blending of some punched, sours, and other fruit drinks and egg drinks, and where frothiness is needed, use an electric mixer or blender to gain that appearance.

How To Hand Shake Your Drinks: Place you mixing glass flat, and fill half way with ice cubes. Next, pour juices into the glass, then the liquor. Place shaker on the mixing glass, tap tight and shake 7 -12 times. Twist and tap glass from shaker and strain or pour the contents into the proper glass.
