| Still the most accurate way to measure your ingredients into the shaker/glass. The 'Jigger' usually measures a single shot (25ml) or a double shot (50ml). | | | You can pick between the Boston Shaker (half stainless steel, half glass) or the three piece which has a removable inbuilt strainer with a twist off cap. Both are good for mixing and chilling your cocktails. The advantage of the Boston is that you have more room in the shaker to mix your drink but you will need a separate strainer to hand. | | | This is used to separate the part of the contents you need for your drink and the cracked ice, pips etc that you wish to dispose of when shaking cocktails with your Boston Shaker. | | | Similar to the Hawthorn Strainer but with smaller holes - good for Martinis and Manhattans and any other cocktails you need to keep as pure as possible. | | | Multi-functional piece of bar equipment primarily used for stirring cocktails. Most bar spoons have a spiralling handle with a flat end, which is useful for gentle pouring in layered drinks and for crushing fruit and herbs in muddled cocktails. | | | This is a large glass beaker of similar size to the steel part of the Boston shaker. It is used for stirred cocktails. | | | This is a large wooden pestle used for crushing fresh fruit, herbs and sugar cubes etc... in muddled cocktails, e.g. the Caipiriha (see Classic Cocktails). | | | This does what it says and you can buy manual or electrical versions. | | | As seen in all modern kitchens (although professional bar blenders are available and will probably last a lot longer) and used for blended drinks. Basically, put all your ingredients into a blender, add a scoop of crushed ice and flick the switch, e.g. the Pina Colada. | | | A combined rubber stopper with a pouring spout to aid the accuracy of pouring the liquid from the bottle. | |
