How to Shake and Strain Cocktails Properly?

MORE

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

Ensure you have the following,
-Boston Shaker or Cobbler Shaker
-Mixing Tin (for Boston Shaker)
-Strainer (Hawthorne or Julep)
-Quality Ice Cubes
-Ingredients for Your Chosen Cocktail

Step 2: Add Ingredients to Shaker

Place all liquid ingredients into the shaker. If the recipe calls for citrus juice, add it last to prevent premature curdling.

Step 3: Add Ice

Fill the shaker with ice. Use enough to thoroughly chill the ingredients but not too much to dilute the cocktail excessively.

Step 4: Seal and Shake

For a Boston Shaker, place the mixing tin over the glass, creating a tight seal. Hold the shaker with one hand on the glass and the other on the tin. Shake vigorously, using a smooth, controlled motion for about 10-15 seconds.

Step 5: Strain into Glass

For a Boston Shaker, gently tap the side of the tin to release the seal. Hold the glass at a slight angle and strain the cocktail through the built-in strainer. If using a Cobbler Shaker, strain directly from the shaker.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Add any required garnishes, and serve your perfectly shaken and strained cocktail in the appropriate glassware.

  • 1800 Tequila

    1800 Tequila is a Mexican tequila brand owned by the Beckmann Family, the family owns the Jose Cuervo tequila brand too. 1800 is a 100% blue agave tequila bottled in Jalisco, Mexico. 1800 is named after the year tequila was first aged in oak casks.

  • Grenadine Syrup

    Grenadine is a common non-alcoholic pomegranate syrup with a characteristic deep red colour. It is a very popular cocktail ingredient, used for its pomegranate flavour and more for its ability to add a reddish to pink tint to a cocktail.

    The name Grenadine originates from the French for pomegranate, which is grenade.

    Grenadine is not subjected to regulations like alcoholic beverages are, and there are no region specific formulae any more, and thus manufacturers often replace pomegranate with blackcurrant juice and other fruit juices while retaining the same flavour profile.

    Many producers now use artificial ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, water, citric acid, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate and food grade red colour along with natural and artificial flavours.

  • 7 Up Soda

    Soda refers to carbonated water, sweetened, flavoured or plain, but there is a difference between Soda and plain Carbonated Water or Sparkling Water, which is known as Seltzer Water, while Seltzer Water is plain water carbonated to add fizz, Soda water contains potassium bicarbonate and potassium sulphate in the water, and according to research Seltzer Water is safer for teeth health and sparkling water provides true hydration and is better at it than regular soda or diet soda.
