Master your throw with these top tips :
•
Place enough ice in the large cup to rest the strainer
against it.
•
Choose the number of throws according to the flavour
profile of the cocktail (longer throwing = greater dilution).
•
Hold the small cup at an angle to avoid spilling the drink.
ROLL
The roll is a gentler version of the throw method. It involves
pouring the entire contents from one cup to the other filled with
ice, avoiding excessive aeration. The purpose of rolling is to gently
aerate the cocktail while chilling and diluting it at the same time.
