An a-peeling hack
When making citrus twists, a potato peeler will work in place of the handy-dandy channeling knives the pros use.
Stir things up
Stirring your cocktail not only mixes the ingredients but helps the ice chill your drink quicker and dilutes it just a touch. That’s a good thing. The water can play an important role in balancing the complexity of your drink.
Use large ice
Large ice melts slower, allowing the flavors in your Maker’s Maple Old Fashioned to stand up longer.
