How to Use a Bar Spoon

  1. Slide the spoon down the side of the mixing glass with its back against the glass.
  2. Hold it loosely between your fingers and let the spoon spin around the inside edge.
  3. Stir smoothly for 20 to 30 seconds without splashing.

Tip

For layered drinks, pour slowly over the back of the spoon held just above the surface.
