The One Cocktail That All Bartenders Should Master | The Cocktail Lab | America’s Test Kitchen

From America’s Test Kitchen.

Today we’re delving into the art of shaken cocktails, using the daiquiri as a prime example to distinguish amateur bartenders from professionals. Joe explains the daiquiri as a perfect example of the sour cocktail that when properly shaken (not stirred) has a perfectly balanced, integrated flavor and fluffy texture. You’ll also learn about the proper shaking technique and optimal shaking duration, the different types of shakers, and how to master thermodynamics to get a perfectly chilled shaken cocktail.
