How to Use a Mixing Glass
- Pour the ingredients into the glass.
- Fill it two thirds with fresh, dry ice.
- Stir with a bar spoon until the outside feels cold and is fogged.
- Strain into a chilled glass with a julep or Hawthorne strainer.
Tip
Chill the mixing glass with ice water first. A warm glass melts your ice before it chills the drink.
What to Look For
A 500 to 600 ml glass with a thick base and a pouring spout.
