HOW TO BUILD A MIXED DRINK

 

 

Also known as "poured" drinks — built drinks are the most commonly served by bartenders.

Built cocktails are drinks whose ingredients are poured into the glass in which the cocktail will be served. Usually, the ingredients are poured together or on top of each other, but occasionally, a swizzle stick or a small straw is put in the glass, allowing the ingredients to be mixed by the person who drinks it.

To get the best taste from a built cocktail, the drinks should be stirred at least six complete times at 360° rotations.

This is the oldest technique for preparing a cocktail, however, it's inappropriate for cocktails with carbonated mixers which are not meant to be shaken.

Tip: Ingredients on a built drinks should never fill the glass all the way to the rim, else they will be easily spilled during transport or while stirring.

Examples of well known built drinks are the Rum and Coke, Screwdriver and White Russian.
