How to Properly Shake a Cocktail

Depending on the cocktail you’re making, one important part of the recipe is shaking. For shaken cocktails, you’ll need a cocktail shaker, filled 1/2 with ice. Next, add in your cocktail ingredients and then shake vigorously for 20 seconds.

The ice needs to have time to melt and dilute the ingredients as well as chill the ingredients so the cocktail is smooth going down.

So shake, shake, shake for 20 seconds for a well blended cocktail!
