Want to make drinks that look and taste perfect? Get your measurements right.
There’s nothing worse than seeing someone pour out the cocktail you made for them. The easiest way to avoid that? Get your proportions right!
In this lesson, I’ll teach you how to properly measure & pour so your cocktails taste perfectly balanced – always.
Here’s a taste of what you’ll learn:
- How to properly grip a bottle to optimize for true control & minimal spills.
- How to free pour like a pro & perfectly measure without a jigger – even if you’re blindfolded!
- Bartending Lingo— so recipes actually make sense & you don’t embarrass yourself when ordering at a bar.
- The proper way to pour (do this wrong & you’ll look like a complete amateur).
