FAQ
What's a shaker?
A shaker can be used to mix two or more ingredients. The shaker also comes with a strainer that allows you to strain the mixture. The lid protects the mixture from unwanted odours while it is being shaken.
What are good mixed drinks to order at a bar?
I would recommend the Old Fashioned. This classic cocktail is made with bourbon whiskey and sugar syrup.
This name derives from the fact that the original recipe was made without ice. The original recipe contained only whiskey, sugar and bitters.
People started to add ice to the mixture and they added "Old-Fashioned", to the title, because they thought the old-fashioned version tasted more delicious.
You might also consider a Manhattan. This is another great option. It's basically a variation on the Old Fashioned. You use rye whiskey instead of bourbon. And instead of using sugar, you use sweet vermouth.
Bartenders love this recipe because it is simple to make and tastes great.
