Ingredients & Measurements
- Straining
- Most cocktail shakers are sold with a build-in strainer or
- hawthorn strainer. When a drink calls for straining, ensure
- you've used ice cubes, as crushed ice tends to clog the
- strainer of a standard shaker. If a drink is required shaken
- with crushed ice (i.e. Shirley Temple), it is to be served
- unstrained.
Chef's Sourcing & Quality Tips:
- Produce & Aromatics: Always use fresh whole aromatics and seasonal herbs rather than dehydrated powders when possible.
- Cooking Oils: Utilize cold-pressed oils with appropriate smoke points such as extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
- Salt & Seasoning: Season from a modest height above the pan to ensure an even, uniform crystalline dispersion.
