Our Opinion


Here at the parent game, we know a thing or two about mixing up a killer cocktail. And let’s be real, no sophisticated soirée is complete without a well-crafted drink in hand. But if you’re still shaking up martinis with a rusty ol’ shaker from college, it might be time to upgrade your cocktail tools game.

So, grab your muddler and let’s dive into the world of cocktail tools and how to use them like a pro.

First up, the cocktail shaker. This is the quintessential tool for mixing up your favorite libations. Whether you prefer a classic martini or a spicy margarita, a good cocktail shaker is essential. Simply fill it with ice, your chosen spirits, and mixers, and give it a good shake. Voilà, you’ve got yourself a perfectly mixed cocktail.

Next, let’s talk about the jigger. This handy little tool is essential for measuring out your ingredients with precision. No more guessing or eyeballing your pours – a jigger ensures that your cocktail will turn out just right every time.

And of course, we can’t forget about the muddler. This tool is perfect for crushing herbs, fruits, and other ingredients to release their flavors into your cocktail. Whether you’re making a mojito or a whiskey smash, a muddler is key to achieving that fresh, vibrant flavor.

Last but not least, let’s chat about the strainer. This nifty tool is essential for ensuring that your cocktail is perfectly smooth and free of any unwanted bits of ice or fruit. Simply place it over your shaker or mixing glass and strain out any unwanted debris before pouring your drink into a glass.

So there you have it, the essential cocktail tools and how to use them like a pro. Say goodbye to subpar drinks and hello to a perfectly mixed cocktail every time. Cheers!
