Basics of Shaken Drinks

Duration

1 Hour

About the Course

In this class the guests will look at citrus-driven drinks as the broad category of drinks that attempt to balance booze, sour, and sweet.

We will mix together through the Sour (including egg white use), Daiquiri (with a ratio adjustment and base spirit choice lesson), Last Word and Corpse Revivers (with emphasis on maintaining balance through ratios or spirit choices), Sidecars (with a lesson on citric vs. malic vs lactic vs acetic acid), Margaritas (with a lesson on ratio changes from classic to modern).

Guests will learn how to shake, pour, and garnish like a pro!
