Cocktail Shaker
We recommend a good stainless steel shaker as it makes it easier to feel the frosty outside when it’s cold enough. If you don’t have a shaker, a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid can work. Just make sure to shake it vigorously for 15-20 seconds to mix all the flavours well.
Jigger or Measuring Tool
Precision is key in cocktail making, so we think getting a jigger is a good investment. Our tip is if you don’t have a jigger, just a 1 oz or 30 ml shot glass to measure the ingredients.
Strainer
We use this to keep any shards of ice or other ingredients out of the cocktail. A fine-mesh sieve works just as well or you can even use the lid of your jar if you don’t have one.
Glassware
We recommend using a rocks glass for a classic presentation. That said, we think any short glass or even a mason jar can add a fun twist. Just make sure it’s large enough to hold the drink with lots of ice.
