Summer Drinks Festival 2014Equipment hints & tips

From ice types and equipment to techniques and handy hints and tips, Charlie McCarthy shares his guide to everything you’ll need for mak-ing perfect summer cocktails.

Cubed Ice – Used in shaken, built & stirred drinks just like the stuff in your freezer drawer. Be aware how-ever that if you plan on making any more than three or four cocktails, the contents of a couple of ice trays will not go far.

Crushed Ice – Used in muddled or churned drinks. This can be tricky to source. The best way to make crushed ice is to take a bag of cubed ice, wrap it in a clean tea-towel and introduce it to Mr Rolling Pin for about a minute. Crushed ice cools drinks quicker than cubed ice does, but it also melts faster.

Block Ice – Used in punches. This takes a bit of forward planning. Clean an ice-cream tub thoroughly. Fill it with water and seal it. Place it in your freezer for a week. You now have a solid block of ice that melts very slowly. It will keep the contents of your punchbowl nice and cool, without diluting it too much. Effective and impressive.

Hawthorne Strainer – Once you have shaken your cocktail, hold this strainer on top of your tin to prevent ice and fruit pulp from being poured into your cocktail. A fine strainer can also be used in certain cocktails that require perfect clarity to the drink.

Bar Spoon – This elongated spoon is essential for stirring drinks. The flat end can be used to muddle (crush) berries and seeds. Also useful for churning crushed-ice drinks. If you can’t get your hands on one of these, a normal spoon will do.

21

The Shaker – Shakers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most bartenders’ favourite is the Boston shaker, consisting of a glass and a tin. Pour your ingredients into the glass, top with ice, seal the tin and shake HARD.

If you can’t lay your hands on a shaker, a large jar will do, as long as it has been thoroughly cleaned of its original contents!

Measure (Jigger) – Essential for measuring out exact amounts of spirits and juices. If you don’t have one of these available on holiday then you can always try using spoons as a rough guide.
