Expert Tips
Glassware Tip
Use a large ice cube or sphere instead of regular ice. It melts slower, providing proper dilution without watering down your drink too quickly.
Sweetener Tip
Make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water. It mixes more smoothly than granulated sugar and allows precise sweetness control.
Bitters Tip
Bitters are like salt in cooking - a few dashes balance and enhance other flavors. Experiment with different bitters varieties to create unique flavor profiles.
Bourbon must be made from at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak barrels - these rules are actually US law.
