I'm looking into starting a bar tending career,and love these videos!
i have a question though, why sometimes stir and sometimes shake? i understand if there is cream or something like that involved it can foam up, but other than that why does it matter?
because often times shaking "bruises" the ice, in other words chipping pieces off the ice making the drink cloudy. also, sometimes the drink is intended to be layered which would require neither shaking or stirring
By shaking, you create an airy texture, i.e. small bubbles in the drink, as in daiquiri.
On the other hand, when you stir the drink, you don't want to make bubbles or make it smoother/milder, like martini. It is VERY important not to "disturb" the drink when you stir.
There are liquor/liquid that cannot be shaken because they make too much bubbles. On one extreme, you do not want to shake soda or coke. You also do not want to shake RED WINE because it also become too foamy.
this stuffs cool and all but which one of us watching this wanna actually get all the stuff if we even can get it where we are man. . .can you please show us some simpler drinks people can get in canada ...fuck....thanks :)
