Here's to shaking things up at your home bar! 🍸Remember, the longer you shake, the more you dilute. So, if your cocktail's got citrus🍋, shake for about 15 seconds. If it's all spirits, just give it a gentle stir. Happy mixing, my mixology mavens! #MixMasterTips💫 - ThreadSky

Excellent safety tip. I’m bout’ to pull off lemons, limes, blood oranges and grapefruit over the next month. Don’t want to compromise any flavor #TitosIsKing

Good tip

Man, I wish:
1. More people knew this, especially those behind the bar.
2. The entertainment industry would stop showing us excruciatingly poor mix habits in their films and videos.
3. Personal pet peeve: flawless assembly and glass prep, a few shakes and then the shaker is allowed to stand

…and wait while they perform some other task. NO. Pour my drink first, I can tolerate a couple ° of upwards temp. But don’t dilute it.

I think this might be my new favourite follow! Cheers!

That's good advice about shaking. It kinda explains why some drinks we've had at places are so watered down. I thought we were getting cheated lol...thank you.

I mean, I like an ice cold cocktail for some things. And for somethings the attenuation is good but it's a good tip to point out because most people aren't aware they're diluting cocktails when they add ice. Human beings aren't great at dealing with multi-variable equations.

Oh never shake anything with carbonation. But if you see someone doing it like that, don't stop them.

I can already tell I’m going to learn so much from you. 😍

But an espresso martini needs more than others.

This depends so much on your ice. I’ve settled on 1.25x1.25” & 2x2” silicone molds for my cubes. I fill the small tin of a Boston shaker with either & shake hard for 10 sec, then 4 sec slow. I’m getting the dilution & the chill I need. Your mileage may vary!
