Techniques: Stirring

One of the two foundational techniques for mixing drinks, stirring is employed for such classics as the Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Sazerac, and — James Bond be damned — Martini. Read any stirred cocktail recipe and you'll encounter notes like "stir until chilled" or "stir for 15 seconds." But as any seasoned pro will attest, there's so much more to mastering this technique than that. Rejoining us for today's episode is Sebastian Hamilton-Mudge, an LA-based former bar owner and global brand ambassador, and co-founder of Candra, an online educational drinks platform, and creative and consultancy agency. Listen on to discover Sebastian's top stirring tips — and don't forget to like, review, and subscribe!
