Start here
You do not need expensive tools or years of experience. Focus on balance, temperature, and fresh flavor, and your drinks will improve right away.
Use a jigger, shot glass, or measuring spoon so the spirit, citrus, and sweetness stay balanced every time.
Use plenty of fresh, solid ice. More ice chills a drink faster and usually causes less watery dilution.
Fresh citrus, herbs, and garnishes add brighter flavor and aroma than most bottled alternatives.
