There’s something satisfying and almost therapeutic about the sight and sound of a cocktail getting shaken and poured into a glass. That said, there are different methods of the technique, and they all require a little expertise.

If you’re interested in the history of alcohol consumption, the “straight edge” movement is an overlooked, but significant, chapter. Emerging from the hardcore punk scene of 1980s America, this subculture championed a lifestyle of complete abstinence from alcohol, tobacco, and other recreational drugs.
