Expert Tips

Glassware Tip

The Collins glass is taller than a highball, perfect for drinks with more mixer. Stack your ice to the top for maximum refreshment.

Dairy Tip

When using cream or milk, shake vigorously with ice to properly emulsify and chill. Consider using heavy cream for a richer texture that floats beautifully on layered drinks.

Serving Suggestion

Serve shots immediately after preparation. Prepare all glasses in advance, pour quickly, and encourage guests to enjoy together for the best social experience.
