Once you get used to it, it's pretty easy. And I'm just an amateur (make my own drinks at home). But slowly getting better at it. Videos like you produce, as well as some tips I get from local bartenders really help. Now I just need to up my garnish game.

I seem to accumulate lots of bar equipment. Have some Japanese jiggers, but for a long time just used measuring spoons. Been using the o o steel jigger lately which I really find easy and precise. Have always been confused by std sizes 25ml vs 30ml. Also have switched recently from a cobbler to glass/metal Boston, but I’m not sure I won’t go back. Also using a mixing glass, but honestly aside from the aesthetics, don’t know why. I think using the cobbler tin was better. Looking forward to the end of dry July to try some of the gin based cocktails.

I didn't even think about the two French Presses I have leftover from that coffee brewing phase (before I evolved to pour-over). So thanks you for that tip.

I agree. Aesthetics play into it as well. If this is a swanky cocktail bar, then the quality, complexity and presentation are top priorities, so making it one at a time is the etiquette. Plus, if you’re charging $20 for a drink, the patrons should feel special. In a more busy, dive, sports, whisky or pub bar, the bartender is expected to put out more drinks per hour, and they’re less fancy. Speed counts here.

Hey pal! It’s generally thought to be around the 1860s until 1920. ‘Cocktail’ as a word first appeared in 1806 but it obviously took a while for it to become properly lodged in the public consciousness, and the invention of the commercial ice machine in the mid 1800s allowed it to really flourish. This is where we see a lot of properly classic cocktails (the Old Fashioned, Cobblers, Daisies etc) come to be. Jerry Thomas’ Bartenders Guide was first printed in 1862 and basically codified this phenomenon for the first time. Prohibition ended it- as much as we like to glorify it, it really killed a lot of drinks as the spirits were so sub standard that most cocktails from this era were designed to mask them. Although you could argue Europe had their Golden Age at this point as lots of American bartenders took refuge there. I could go on and on, I should probably stop before I write a whole video script here...hahaha

They don’t really feel that secure until you start shaking- the cold makes the tins expand and they stay together.

@@BehindtheBar cold makes the pressure of the air inside go down and this vacuum holds the tins together ;) also like Jeremy pointed out - metals contract from cold, not expand, but this is not what keeps the two tins together - all is from the air that gets cold from shaking. The formula is pV = nRT: pressure times volume equals nR(constants) times temperature. When the temperature goes down, to make the equation true either volume or pressure has to drop. The volume won't change because we have fairly rigid tins, so pressure drops and we have this vacuum which helps to keep the whole thing together and makes it sometimes tricky to separate the tins when we're done shaking.

When you add a warmer one to it, the warmer one passes the heat to the colder one. The warmer one contracts and the colder one expands, to create a seal. This is why you should start off with the ice in the smaller one and cover it with the larger one, then shake. As another poster said well though, it is the cold air and reduced air pressure that really seals the two.

Try making an old-fashioned at home. Actually, try making two. Identical. NEAT. Shake one and stir one. Then look at them and taste them. Leaving out the ice takes the dilution issue out of the equation. Shaking provides fast cooling and dilution, but it also aerates the drink, creating froth. Aerating a spirits-only cocktail evaporates alcohol (which evaporates at a much lower temperature than water) and muddles the colour.
