Which Cocktails to Shake and which ones to Stir?
MOREShaking or Stirring depends on the level of dilution and texture the cocktail requires.
As a rule of thumb, cocktails made with spirits, tonics and bitters should be stirred and stirring results in a smooth mouth feel with precise dilution of the spirits and liqueurs without melting the ice too much or making the cocktail cold and bland.
While cocktails that feature fruit juices, egg whites, cream or cream based liqueurs, should be shaken. Shaking in a cocktail shaker with ice beats it into a smooth texture before straining into a glass.

Snowball Dokkie Recipe
Use ice chips or shake some ice beforehand to make some. Put the ice chips and all of the liquid ingredients into the cocktail shaker first, then, using a melon baller, add several thin slices of the vanilla ice cream. Shake vigorously for at least 5 seconds. The ice cream should be well blended but not completely. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass and place a ball of ice cream in the center. (melon baller) The finished drink should appear milky blue, will have a ball of ice cream and, if time right when shaking, white flecks (ice cream) and clear flecks (ice) floating in the drink. For presentation purposes, this drink should use clear Creme de Menthe instead of green in order to maintain the 'cold' appearance.
French Kiss Vanilla Liqueur
Dr. McGillicuddy's French Kiss Vanilla Liqueur is a sensuous vanilla liqueur owned by the Sazarec Company. Best server with soda and ice with a cherry or orange slide garnish, and works very well in cocktails.
Alize Bleu Liqueur
A liqueur is an alcoholic beverage made mostly from rectified neutral spirits flavoured with sugar, fruits, herbs and spices. Liqueurs are often served as aperitif or digestif or used as bitters, and some are ceremonial or have regional cultural significance.
Most liqueur recipes that date back to the medieval or early modern era tend to have secret recipes and legends following them trough centuries. Liqueurs mostly began in the laboratories of pharmacists as medicines or at homes as ways of preserving seasonal fruits, or were created by monks in their monasteries. and then took off as fragrant, flavourful liqueurs, either filtered to be clear or cloudy.
Liqueurs are created by infusing or macerating fruits and herbs in neutral grain spirit, brandy base like cognac, rum, vodka or even whisky and then filtering the infused alcohol to produce the unique sweet beverage.Creme de Menthe
Creme de Menthe is the French for mint cream. It is a sweet mint flavoured alcoholic beverage. Made with Corsican mint leaves, steeped in grain alcohol for several weeks and then filtered and sweetened to create the liqueur.
There are two variations of creme de menthe, white and green, green Creme de Menthe is coloured green by adding mint leaves to the mint extract, otherwise both are similar in taste and flavour.
Note: If a bottle of Creme de Menthe is hard to come by, or not in a mood to buy a liqueur, substitute the Creme de Menthe Liqueur with a Creme de Menthe Syrup and Vodka.

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
