Kako mešati Cocktail s Boston Shaker Straight Up koktajli in žgane pijače

Na Bostonskem stresalniku sta dva dela: mešalno steklo (iz kaljenega stekla) in tesno prilegajoči kovinski mešalnik. Kot pripomoček za to vrsto stresalnika se navadno uporablja glajenje gloga (prikazano na dnu slike).

Tam are two parts to a Boston shaker set: a mixing glass (made of tempered glass) and a snug-fitting metal tumbler. A hawthorn strainer (shown at bottom of picture) is usually used as an accessory to this type of shaker.

(Stran Note: For comparison's sake, let's take a quick look at the other type of shaker commonly used to mix cocktails: the cobbler. It's a 3-piece set consisting of a tumbler, a tight-fitting strainer/lid, and a cup-shaped cap that, in many models, can double as a 1-ounce measure.)

V redu, back to the Boston shaker. To begin, place your ingredients in the glass portion of the shaker and fill it up a little more than halfway with ice. (It's also possible to use the metal portion of the set for this step, but the glass allows you and your guests a better view of the action.)

Zdaj take the metal tumbler and fit it over the glass at a slight angle.

S the heel of your hand, strike the upturned end of the metal tumbler twice so that it makes a tight seal. (Author's note: please be sure to hold the glass base steady with your other hand while you do this (not shown in this picture).

Zdaj test the strength of the seal by lifting the shaker off the bar slightly while holding the set by its top end. (If things aren't secure, give the shaker another whack with the heel of your hand and test again.)

Po 30 seconds or so of shaking (some cocktails containing egg white call for considerably longer times - consult your recipe), place the shaker back on the counter, metal side down. Holding the unit firmly by its base, use the heel of your free hand to give it a sharp whack at its rim. This should break the seal. (If this doesn't work the first time, try again from a slightly different angle.)

Zdaj that your ingredients are throughly mixed, aerated, and chilled, it's time to strain out the ice. Place the hawthorn strainer over the top of the metal tumbler. The four metal tabs on the top half of the device and the coiled spring around its bottom circumference ensure the strainer fits snugly over and inside the lip of the shaker.

Zdaj you're ready to pour. Hold the shaker in one hand with your forefinger resting firmly on top to anchor the hawthorn strainer. Tip the shaker gently, allowing the liquid to stream slowly into the cocktail glass. Cheers!
