Cocktail shakers are essential tools for making cocktails that are beautiful, fragrant, and tasty. Here are the steps to use it so you can master it easily:
1. Prepare the cocktail shaker: The cocktail shaker mainly consists of a top cover with fine holes and a container with scales. Tightly screw the top cover on the mouth of the container to ensure a complete seal.
2. Add the ingredients: According to your cocktail recipe, put the required ingredients into the container. For most cocktails, adding ice cubes is a key step in the mixing process, but some recipes with higher alcohol concentrations may not require ice cubes.
3. Shake thoroughly: Hold the cocktail shaker tightly with both hands and shake it up and down and left and right for about 15 to 20 seconds until the ice cubes are completely melted and the ingredients are completely blended. This step not only helps to mix the ingredients, but also makes the cocktail more refreshing.
4. Pour into the glass: Open the cocktail shaker and pour the prepared cocktail into the glass. When pouring, try to avoid ice cubes falling into the glass. If you like ice-free cocktails, you can use a strainer to filter out the ice cubes. If the amount of wine is large, you can repeat the shaking and pouring process to ensure a more uniform taste.
5. Add decoration: Finally, add some decorative elements to your cocktail, such as lemon slices, mint leaves or other fruit slices. This not only increases the visual effect of the wine, but also adds a touch of fresh flavor to the taste.
By using a cocktail shaker, you can easily mix cocktails of various flavors, making your drinks taste richer and more charming.
