Cubed Ice – Used in shaken, built & stirred drinks just like the stuff in your freezer drawer. Be aware however that if you plan on making any more than three or four cocktails, the contents of a couple of ice trays will not go far. Hawthorne Strainer – Once you have shaken your cocktail, hold this strainer on top of your tin to prevent ice and fruit pulp from being poured into your cocktail. A fine strainer can also be used in certain cocktails that require perfect clarity to the drink. Crushed Ice – Used in muddled or churned drinks. This can be tricky to source. The best way to make crushed ice is to take a bag of cubed ice, wrap it in a clean tea-towel and introduce it to Mr Rolling Pin for about a minute. Crushed ice cools drinks quicker than cubed ice does, but it also melts faster. Bar Spoon – This elongated spoon is essential for stirring drinks. The flat end can be used to muddle (crush) berries and seeds. Also useful for churning crushed-ice drinks. If you can’t get your hands on one of these, a normal spoon will do. The Shaker – Shakers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most bartenders’ favourite is the Boston shaker, consisting of a glass and a tin. Pour your ingredients into the glass, top with ice, seal the tin and shake HARD. If you can’t lay your hands on a shaker, a large jar will do, as long as it has been thoroughly cleaned of its original contents! Measure (Jigger) – Essential for measuring out exact amounts of spirits and juices. If you don’t have one of these available on holiday then you can always try using spoons as a rough guide. 1 Teaspoon = 5ml 1 Tablespoon = 15ml Block Ice – Used in punches. This takes a bit of forward planning. Clean an ice-cream tub thoroughly. Fill it with water and seal it. Place it in your freezer for a week. You now have a solid block of ice that melts very slowly. It will keep the contents of your punchbowl nice and cool, without diluting it too much. Effective and impressive. 21 Summer Drinks Festival 2014 Belvedere Vodka 1L OUR PRICE £40.99 AHSP £51.70 YOU SAVE £10.71 Presents the Belvedere (noun).
