Cocktail essentials: Muddling*

Muddling is the pressing together of solid ingredients in the bottom of the mixing glass, using a curious tool called a muddler. The act of muddling is performed before the liquid ingredients are added. The jury is out on the best technique of muddling – but take your pick and have fun trying. Some people prefer to smash the ingredients with and up and down motion. Others with a more delicate touch choose to twist the muddler into the ingredients. Perhaps you could even try a combination of the two!
