Bar Tools

I occasionally feel like a broken record. I find myself in a perpetual cycle of cleaning and organizing, and today's revelation is my possession of three different jiggers. Considering my infrequent indulgence in drinks, especially cocktails, the need for three is ridiculous. As depicted, I'm decluttering two.

The first, the gold-tone jigger on the right, was part of a bar tools set I bought either in 2015 or 2016 ago from a Total Wine store. I was drawn to it because I wanted a gold-toned bar set to complement my bar cart. However, buyer's remorse set in soon after the $40 purchase—a bit more than I intended to spend. Additionally, the material didn't stand the test of time; after a few handwashes, the products became discolored, losing the aesthetic appeal it initially had. The set comprised seven pieces, including a cocktail shaker, muddler, tongs, long spoon, strainer, peeler, and the jigger. Assuming equal value for each piece, we'll estimate the jigger's worth at $5.71.

The second, the OXO steel jigger on the left, was acquired during my time working at a kitchen store. Long, monotonous stretches at work fueled my susceptibility to impulsive desires. In this case, I convinced myself I needed this steel jigger, even though I already had one at home. Despite preferring the design of this one, it clashed with my bar cart and emphasized its unnecessary existence. Although I believe it cost less when I purchased it in 2021, it currently retails for $11.99.

I'm decluttering these two because I since acquired a bar set featuring a beautiful, handled jigger. It's not pictured here because I'm keeping it. While the story of acquiring it may delve into impulsive tendencies, I'm very happy with what I have, and I hope to keep them forever

Verdict: The two jiggers cost me approximately $17.70. Again, as with many things I’ve decluttered, that’s not a huge sum, but I’d rather have $17.70 than 2 extra jiggers. It’s indicative of a larger shopping and accumulation problem I have. Again, this serves as a reminder to be mindful of impulsive purchases and the unnecessary accumulation of stuff. You can see the gold-toned one is discolored. Part of me is reluctant to donate, but I think I will. I have a bin of things I'm going to drop off at the thrift store, and I can easily add both. The only silver lining is that none of these were purchased from amazon.

Edit to add: When working on another post of an item I got from the kitchen store, I realized I had forgotten I had an employee discount! It was 40% off, so the stainless steel would have cost less. Probably $7.19. So that means the cost for both was $12.90. That's less, but still wasteful.

Know Your Bar Tools: The Durand

end of the night, all guests gone The Durand is a nifty little tool that comes in handy when opening older bottles of wine, especially when the corks are dry and brittle and may break off. It protects the wine from being compromised by fragile corks when opening. Such was the case for me the other night with a 2006 vintage. The tool is named after sommelier Yves Durand and was invented by Mark…

Beck with the one ring the orange powerup disc weapon reminds me a lot of Peter Parker with the Symbiote so I keep picturing him acting like this the whole time complete with emo hair

Also Tron seems to know a lot about the ‘new’ weapon… HMMM mayhaps they tried something like this before? And Tron tested it out and became a major asshole for a week?

Beck uncovers footage of Tron doing the Emo Peter dance and laughs at him for hours. When he catches himself doing the same dance he’s like ‘shit this is really bad’

When Pavel has the weapon nobody notices because he’s already like that

Wait does this make Pavel Venom

The Art of Mixology

The secret of successful mixology lies in well-chosen spirits, freshly squeezed juices, just-crushed herbs and, crucially, the skilful deployment of the tricks and techniques of the bartender's trade.

As with cooking and architecture, when it comes to mixing drinks, sometimes less really is more and, although expert bartenders always like to experiment with new and unusual ingredients, nothing beats a wellmade classic. There are about half a dozen basic methods for combining cocktail ingredients, and it helps to know the pros and cons, as well as the best way of performing each.

BUILDING , LAYERING and FLOATING

Another important skill that the bartender must acquire is in the art of layering, which requires greater concentration, precision and a steadier hand. To make layered shooters or pousse café drinks, you generally pour the heaviest liquid first, working through to the lightest. However, the real trick is the technique.

Either touch the top of the drink with a long-handled bar spoon and pour the liquid slowly over the back of it to disperse it across the top of the ingredients already in the glass, or pour the liquid down the twisted stem that many professional bar spoons have. Hold the spoon's flat disc just above the drink. A little practice helps perfect both these relatively challenging methods. Floating is usually the term used to describe adding the top layer.

This is the most flamboyant method of making a cocktail - the one that James Bond prefers for his Martinis and which added a bit of rocket fuel to Tom Cruise's career. Apart from socalled flair bartending' - otherwise known as showing off - shaking is good for chilling drinks and diluting them to just the right degree.

STIRRING

Stirring is the purist's choice, the mixology method that aims to retain the strength of the spirit. By carefully using a glass or metal rod (swizzle stick), or even a long-handledbo spoon, you can avoid chipping the ice cubes and making the cocktail watery, Crushed ice is an absolute no-no here. Drinks should be gently stirred in a mixing glass or the bottom half of a Boston shaker. As soon as condensation appears on the outside of the glass or shaker, the drink should be strained into a glass. Because the goal is a strong drink, some expert bartenders argue that those cocktails containing just spirits and liqueurs - in other words no fruit juices - should always be stirred.

MUDDLING

In mixology muddling isn't about confusion. Increasingly popular in bartending circles, it means to mash fruit or herbs to release their flavours and it's done with a wooden peste like implement called a muddler. The end used to crush ingredients is thicker and rounded; the opposite end, which is skinnier, is employed in stirring. Some also compare muddlers to rolling pins. The technique is to press down with a twisting action. Sometimes, a small amount of liquid will be added to facilitate muddling, but the majority of it is usually poured in later. Common muddled drinks include Caipirinhas (limes and sugar). Mojitos (mint leaves, sugar and soda) and Old-fashioneds (bitters and sugar syrup).

BLENDING

Electric blenders will mix ingredients that otherwise do not easily combine, so they are frequently employed when mixing alcohol with both fruit and fruit juice or alcohol with creamy ingredients. Strawberry Daiquiris and Pina Coladas are popular blended cocktails. As all the

usual rules on ice are reversed in the

blender and you do use crushed ice, it's also used for so-called frozen cocktail versions, such as Frozen Margaritas. The cocktail should be blended until it's smooth, but be. careful not to overdo it. The crushed ice should also be added sparingly.
