When making highballs, fill glass two-thirds of ice before adding liquor.  Always pour liquor in before the mixer.  Do not stir drinks containing carbonated mixers or stir everything before adding the carbonated beverage. When making cocktails, lowballs, and other shaken or stirred drinks, fill shaker half-full of ice. For lowballs, fill the glass about half-full of ice before pouring drink. When making layered drinks, pour each liqueur slowly over an inverted teaspoon (round side up) into a glass. Start with the heaviest liqueur first. The round surface of the spoon will spread each liqueur over the one before without mixing them. Most shaken drinks which contain light cream can also be made as blended drinks, substituting vanilla ice cream for the light cream. To make blended drinks, first fill blender half-full of ice. If necessary, add more ice as you are blending. Always keep fruit juices and other mixers refrigerated. In fruit drinks, like strawberry margaritas, always use fresh fruit, not frozen.   Bar Essentials  Here is a checklist of what should be in every great home bar!  In some of the liquors, we also give brand suggestions.
