How To: UP YOUR COCKTAIL GAME (Part Two)

The second in a two-part series about pushing up your cocktail game at home.

We're veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough. We've written over three dozen cookbooks, including THE ULTIMATE PARTY DRINK BOOK (which you can find here).

In the previous episode, we walked about ingredients for better cocktails. In this episode, we move on to talk about three techniques to improve your bartending skills at home.

Here are the segments of this episode of COOKING WITH BRUCE & MARK:

[00:25] Don't eyeball it. Go for better consistency.

[03:19] If you're making an icy cocktail or even a chilled drink of any sort, chill your glass.

[06:11] Shaken vs. stirred. Ah, the old riddle. James Bond was wrong. We'll tell you why.
