What's Your Tini?

If you're mixing liquor with liquor, you have to stir it. Keep it crisp, clear, and sexy.

FYI… A drink with the name Collins is a drink paired with a sour, which is served in a tall glass with soda water or seltzer water.

The grand finale...garnishes... should be an ingredient that is part of the drink. If using a mint garnish, clip the end of the stem before you use it and the oil will bleed into the drink. If using olives, don’t let them sit out too long. Heat + Fat + Brine + Oxygen = Mushy, Bitter, Oxidized Olives.

Big value in small packages...When using soda, buy small 8-ounce bottles, instead of the large economy size. And keep them refrigerated - warm soda melts the ice and dilutes your cocktail.
