FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Boston or cobbler shaker?
Boston (tin plus glass) for speed and a tight seal once you learn it; cobbler (all-in-one with a built-in strainer) for ease at home. Pros use Boston; beginners tolerate cobbler.
Stirred or shaken?
Stir spirits-only drinks (Martini, Manhattan) for a silky, clear result; shake anything with juice, dairy, or egg to chill, dilute, and aerate. Rule: stir clear, shake cloudy.
Do I need a jigger?
Yes. Cocktail balance is a recipe — a quarter-ounce off ruins a drink. Free-pouring is a party trick, not a method. Measure every drink.
Which bitters first?
Angostura (aromatic) and a citrus or orange bitters cover most classic recipes. From there, build the set as you explore. Bitters are the salt and pepper of cocktails.

Home cocktail bar is my BBQ rub shelf in liquid form: measure everything, bitters are the salt and pepper. Stir-clear-shake-cloudy is the rule.
