A pressed drink is a cocktail that combines liquors with liqueurs and other spices. This drink is served in a glass of ice. This technique is easy to use at home and can be found in many recipes.
The French press is a classic beverage-brewing tool that has become increasingly popular in the modern cocktail renaissance. This tool allows bartenders the ability to make drinks taste like they have been steeped without using a shaking device.
First, prepare your ingredients. Ideal is to infuse the ingredients over time, so that they can absorb the flavors of the ingredients and release their aromas. You can infuse ingredients for a few minutes or several hours depending on the goal.
If you are creating a cold cocktail, for example, it is best to add ingredients at room temperature to allow them to soak up the flavors before adding alcohol and ice. Infusions for hot cocktails are usually simpler, as alcohol can be heated up to the temperature of tea before adding the other ingredients.
A variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and other ingredients are all suitable to infuse with a French press. Make your own pressed cocktail using your favorite liquids like vodka, tequila and whiskey.
Vodka Press
A vodka pressed is one of the most simple pressed cocktails. You can drink it at any moment. It's a simple way to incorporate vodka into your life and is a great addition to any bar menu or collection of beverages.
Pour create a vodka-press, combine your ingredients into your French press. Cover it with the lid, and let it sit for a few minutes. Once it's infused, you can strain it into a glass and garnish with a fresh slice of lime or a few mint leaves.

How To
How to Order Drinks at The Bar without Being Embarrassed
There are many ways to order drinks at the local bar, but these methods require you to know what kind of drink you want before you go up to the counter. Ask your server what they recommend ordering if you are unsure of the drink you desire. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This involves talking to your server and telling him/her what kind of drink you would like. One example is "I'd love a glass" of beer. Next, tell your server what beer you prefer. If you want Budweiser, for example, you might say "a Budweiser." Next tell your server the size you prefer (e.g. small, medium, large). You will never feel awkward again once you are done.
