À proper shake is incorporating air, not diluting it. The shaking technique isn't that bad but it has low to medium air incorporating and lots of dilution to it so it does the job but lacks of air. I used to shake this way and changed it because I was lacking of air. Shaking is about multiplying the amount of contacts between the ice and the liquids together with bringing air to the drink, however, you get and unwanted and watery result at the end if you shake this way. The mouvement can be quite wide and this is a good way to chill up your drink because of natural termodinamic phenomenon called entropia (basically the frictions between ice and liquid), but this does not bring much air. Going super fast is gonna bring lots of air but a lot of dilution
Bang the tin again the wall and it’ll get loose in a second without hurting your hands. I had to come up with this trick when mine got stuck making 2 expresso martinis in one shaker.
Great explanation! Ice should hit both ends od the tin. I see so many doing not that hard of a shake and short on length. You know it’s a good shake when you hear the dinging.
Don’t use the glass combo…unless you want to get stitches!!!! Not today not tomorrow but some day you gonna break that glass for what ever reason and cut your hand. Happens all the time!!! Stainless cup with stainless steel cup ok guys! Trying to help
Out of curiosity does the up and down motion have a practical purpose vs just shaking back and forth? Seems like the ice rolls and smashes in either case and the simple back and forth motion can be done faster right? Is it for flair?
@@TheRealAlexLovett quality question. Especially when shaking with big cubes. Up/down + back/forth actually gives more points of contact to break and chill but also rotate the liquid inside. All for the porpoise of chilling fast with minimal dilution
@@TheRealAlexLovett my pleasure. Understanding the your of ice you are using (cheap thin ice vs. hard clear ice) is just as important as the shaking technique. After a few hundred cocktails you begin to feel when you have done the right amount of shake. You can also taste it. If it’s watery you know you shaken it for too long, or you didn’t have enough ice in it to start. The drinks I shake at the club with cheap ice is different than the drinks I shake at a cocktail bar with good quality ice.
it's funny the difference between japanese bartending and american bartending. in japanese bartending where everything is about absolute perfection; what this guy teaches is what NOT to do.
@@MIXOLOGYFLAIRED no my friend they need to mixed the igridiants ,thats why all bartenders they use hisizaki ice and now days they use bigger ice cubes on cocktails to not brake the ice ...
@@georgesaraskeris3447 ok cool. Thanks for the advice. By the way, where are the bars that you have done consultation for? Can I visit them? I would love to try the cocktails that you have personally designed and see the bartenders work that you have trained. Maybe I can get some more tips
Lmao break the ice up? Are you serving over diluted cocktails all the time? The goal of shaking the cocktail is to get the liquid cold with minor dilution most craft cocktail bartender use the infinity shake when perfected you won’t hear the ice rattle and “break up” like your shaking a maraca you should hear the ice slide against the tin unless you double strain your cocktails (which I highly doubt you do) or people will bring drinking tiny ice shards. Let’s try to keep the misinformation for views to a minimum bud some people actually do this for a living
I shake my cocktails like this just because it looks cooler but apparently it’s the appropriate way too lol
Yeah, years later, you deal with bad shoulder.
“I’m bouta go through the back door” this man is on demon timing😭

What technique do you use for maximum texture?
I do that. I just can’t get the glass out lol
You gotta smack the side with the palm of your hand
45⁰ from the front*

@@sid.v609 I’ve been hitting it with my elbow when it gets stuck because it looks cool
Dont break the ice too much, add air and chill it without overdiluting it. Use good hard ice.
This man is funny bro🤣 and thanks for the tip I be doing that weak shit
🤣
Thanks👍🏽
Thank you
Thanks for watching buddy!
Great explanation! Ice should hit both ends od the tin. I see so many doing not that hard of a shake and short on length. You know it’s a good shake when you hear the dinging.
Thank you 🙏🏼
3 hard shakes. Mixes the drink, more shakes
I did more than 300 shaked cocktails this Friday and Saturday.The weak shake would bring me nowhere but backpain abd I would’ve fall asleep…
300?? I beg you made a killing 💰
I find that when it explodes after a good shaking, it can be very relaxing, I usually fall asleep.....?
🤣
💀

Stainless cup with stainless steel cup ok guys! Trying to help
I’ve been there in the middle of service. It’s a bummer!
He just did it so we can see

@@MIXOLOGYFLAIREDVery cool, been wondering for awhile and keep coming back to this video. Thanks for the reply!

Absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤
The shoulder pain though...
@@FurinaPininfarina 💪🏼
Good video!
I’m new to Boston shakers. I have a weighted tin on tin. My hands get painfully cold. Any advice?
check Barproducts.com for stainless shakers with vinyl wrapped on the outside
I dont get it ,why do i do it correctly reflexively?
Beautiful
How can I learn?
For those who are broke asf and wants a cocktail,just get a chilled glass of water and add lemon twist in it
Yeees, "out and in, down, up" this can be applied to many things! 😁
What would you apply it to? Lol
@@MIXOLOGYFLAIRED 😉😉

Cool🎉
The way is very wrong you must not brake the ice ,because you loose the body texture of cocktail and you add water or your cocktail
@@georgesaraskeris3447 cocktails need water my friend.

Nice
Thanks for watching Yulita 🤙
Vlad's jealous 😂😂😂😂
Shaking / Blender 👀😂
😊😊🎉🎉
mediocre shake tbh, far better techniques with superior results. still a good platform and principle tho
Idk man, I will say you were making a good sound but it was so rigid it lacked class. I'm sure it's efficient tho
I’m gay, you lost me at football
Then hold it like a Shake Weight
😂
Your literally just adding water to the drink shaking like that
