FAQ
What's the difference between a mocktail and a cocktail?
A cocktail is made with liquor. A mocktail contains fruit juice.
What's a shaker?
A shaker is used to combine two or more ingredients. The shaker also comes with a strainer that allows you to strain the mixture. The lid protects the mixture from unwanted odours while it is being shaken.
How can I tell if a drink has too much alcohol?
A stronger drink contains more alcohol than a weaker one. The proof measures the amount of alcohol contained in a drink. One proof equals one part alcohol per 100% pure grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. bottle of wine would be ten proofs, and a 16 oz. beer would be 13 proofs, while a 40 oz. 45 proofs would be the bottle of Scotch.
What's a shotglass used for?
Shot glasses are small cups that can be used for serving shots. They can measure 1/2 ounce, 1/4 and 1/8 ounces respectively.

How To
How to make an excellent martini
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. Before mixing the ingredients, it is important to thoroughly combine them. It is usually served in a chilled glass. It should be enjoyed straight up. Mixing it with anything else will ruin its taste.
The most common way to serve a martini is with two olives on top. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Add 1 ounce vodka to the mixture and shake vigorously. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
