How to Use Bar Tools Efficeintly and Effectively?
MOREA How-To Guide: Using Bar Tools - Shakers, Jiggers, and Strainers
Using a Jigger
1. Understand Measurement Markings:
- Learn the measurement markings on your jigger. Common measurements
include 1 oz, 1.5 oz, and 2 oz on one side, and 0.5 oz and 0.75 oz on
the other.
2. Hold Correctly:
- Hold the jigger at the base
to prevent heat transfer from your hand. Pour the liquid into the
jigger until it reaches the desired measurement.
3. Pouring Technique:
- When pouring, tilt the jigger slightly to ensure a clean and precise pour. Adjust your grip for control and accuracy.
Using a Shaker
1. Add Ingredients:
- Place all liquid ingredients into the shaker. If the recipe calls for
citrus or egg white, add those last to prevent premature foaming.
2. Add Ice:
- Fill the shaker with ice to the level of the liquid. This ensures proper chilling and dilution.
3. Secure the Shaker:
- For a Boston shaker, firmly press the glass and metal parts together.
For a Cobbler shaker, close the lid and ensure a tight seal.
4. Shake Vigorously:
- Hold the shaker with both hands and shake vigorously for about 10-15
seconds. Strain the liquid into the glass, using the strainer.
Using a Strainer
1. Select the Right Strainer:
- Use a Hawthorne strainer for shakers and a Julep strainer for stirring glasses. Ensure a secure fit to prevent spills.
2. Position the Strainer:
- Hold the strainer over the mixing vessel or glass at a slight angle.
The spring or holes should face down, preventing ice or other solids
from entering the drink.
3. Pour the Cocktail:
- Pour the
liquid from the shaker or mixing glass through the strainer into the
serving glass. The strainer catches ice and other ingredients, allowing
only the liquid to pass through.
General Tips for Bar Tools
Practice Consistency:
Develop a consistent pouring technique with the jigger to ensure accurate measurements in each cocktail.
Clean Immediately:
Clean your bar tools immediately after use to prevent flavors from transferring between different cocktails.
Experiment with Shaking Styles:
Experiment with different shaking styles to find what works best for
you. Some cocktails benefit from a hard, fast shake, while others
require a gentler approach.
Master the Strain:
Master the pouring technique using the strainer to achieve a smooth and visually appealing pour.
By
mastering the use of essential bar tools, you\'ll enhance your
cocktail-making skills and elevate the overall experience of crafting
and enjoying your favorite drinks. Cheers!

Vodka

Note that these days there are flavoured Vodka available in the market too, and some cocktails do make use of them.Sanpellegrino Limonata 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.

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.
