From America’s Test Kitchen.
Looking to build a functional home bar? Lisa McManus and Hannah Crowley share the five pieces of must-have gear to creating the perfect capsule bar. Learn which jigger, juicer, shaker, strainer, and bar spoons offer the best performance and durability for your home bar. Lisa and Hannah make a basil daiquiri, which summons Joe Gitter, author of Cocktails Illustrated and host of The Cocktail Lab. With Joe’s guidance, they talk all about mixology, the science of cocktails, and the importance of ice. If you’ve got your capsule bar in place but want to step it up a notch, consider a portable smoke infuser and watch how you can use it to make a smoked New York sour.
