Shaken cocktails:
Shaking a cocktail elicits the delight of your guests when done properly, but we recommend that beginning bartenders be wary of spilling the beverage while shaking it.
Begin by filling your shaker two-thirds full of ice and add the ingredients of the shaken cocktail.
Place the stainless steel shell over the top of the shaker and press down on the shell to make a seal between the two. Then, firmly grab both the top and the bottom of the shaker and shake it up and down. The steel shell should contract when the ice makes it cold, so the seal will become quite strong. If, at this point, you want to get fancy in your shaking, the seal should allow it.
You now need to break the seal. Look for the frost line on the shell and tap the shell with the heel of your hand at this line. If you've struck properly, there should be an audible crack as the frozen seal breaks and the shell comes loose.
Now, turn the shaker glass and shell over together and pull the glass out of the shell, and strain the beverage out of the shell into a stemmed glass. Shaken cocktails will almost always call for a stemmed glass, as they will keep the hand of the drinker from warming the drink.
Finally, be sure to clean out the shaker. The best way to do this is to add some water to the shaker, shake and strain it out, and then wipe out the inside of the shaker.
That's the way to do it!
