    COCKTAIL PREPARATION METHODS

    BUILD METHOD
    To build a drink, it is to pour the ingredients in the glass in
    which the cocktail is to be served. The stirring (mixing) is left
    to the customer. The majority of build drinks are served on ice.
    1. Fill the glass at least 3/4 full with ice.
    2. Pour in all ingredients over the ice.
    3. Add garnish and straw, when needed, and serve.

    SHAKE METHOD
    This method is used with cocktails that contain juice,
    dairy, creamy liqueur or other heavy ingredients that
    do not combine easily with spirits.
    1. Fill mixing glass at least 3/4 full with ice.
    2. Pour in all ingredients over the ice.
    3. Snug-fit stainless and glass shakers.
    4. Shake generously for 5 to 10 seconds depending
    on the recipe.

    BLEND METHOD
    To blend a cocktail is to mix the ingredients in an
    electric blender. For a smooth texture any fruit should
    be cut in small pieces and put in the blender first.
    1. Put in fruit first, liquid and then ice.
    2. Blend for 10-12 seconds at medium speed.
    3. Pour the content into a glass.

    STIR METHOD
    The cocktails that include mostly liquor should be stirred.
    The reason is texture. Stirring will produce a clear drink
    without a hazy effect.
    1. Fill mixing glass at least 1/2 full with ice.
    2. Pour all ingredients over the ice.
    3. Using a bar spoon stir 2 to 3 times in a short circular
    motion.

    MUDDLING METHOD
    It is the process of mashing fruit, herbs or other ingredients
    with a muddler to extract their flavours. When muddling
    fruit, they should be cut in pieces. Use granulated sugar
    instead of simple syrup for this method.
    1. Place ingredients in the bottom of a sturdy glass or a shaker.
    2. With a muddler, firmly press and twist the ingredients.
    3. Then follow the recipe.
    COCKTAIL PREPARATION METHODS

    LAYER METHOD
    This method gives an attractive look to a cocktail and is
    guaranteed to impress. The process involves pouring the
    heaviest liquid first, followed by a succession of
    progressively lighter ones.
    1. Pour the heaviest liquid first.
    2. Place the back of a bar spoon above the first liquid.
    3. Slowly trickle the next ingredient over the back of
    the spoon, to float on the top of the first liquid.
    4. Repeat step 2 & 3 if necessary.

    SHAKE AND POUR / STIR AND POUR


    This method is used for cocktails that are served over
    ice. After shaking or stirring the ingredients, pour the
    contents into the glass including the ice.
    1. Shake or stir.
    2. Remove mixing glass from the steel can.
    3. Pour the contents into a glass.

    SHAKE AND STRAIN / STIR AND STRAIN


    This method prevents the ice going into the glass.
    It is used for cocktails which are served straight up
    such as Martinis or a Manhattan.
    1. Place the strainer on top of the metal shaker or mixing
    glass with the spring inside the shaker.
    2. Put your index finger on the top of the strainer and
    hold the shaker in the palm of your hand.
    3. Pour liquid into a glass.

    TOP UP / FILL UP
    This method is used to fill up a glass with one specific
    ingredient without a measuring device. Some long cocktails
    such as a screwdriver combine carefully measured spirits
    with a large amount of one mixer or fruit juice.
    Top up / fill up amount is typically around 4 to 6 oz.

    COATING / RIMMING
    The intention is to coat the rim of a glass with sugar, salt
    or other ingredients.
    1. Moisten the rim with lemon or lime juice.
    2. Dip the rim in a pile of salt, sugar or other ingredients.
    3. Tap the glass to remove excess.
