Bartender top tips
Have you ever been into a bar and seen a bartender shaking a cocktail, but not heard any noise? They were probably “wet & dry shaking” – this means that you shake a cocktail first with cubed ice and then again without any ice.
Why would you do that, I hear you ask? Well, ultimately it provides a cocktail with an amplified, foamier texture which feels luxurious on the palate.
If you’re looking for an alternative to pasteurised egg white, look no further than the leftover water from a tin of chickpeas! It sounds a little bizarre, but it provides the same texture without any added flavour.
