This week I'm kicking off a new series called Protip where I partner with a professional bartender on tips, hacks, and recipes for the home bartender. A portion of the proceeds from the video go to supporting out-of-work bartenders. I'm kicking it off with Jeffery Morgenthaler, who shares his home hack for making shaken cocktails that blew my mind.

I see this being useful for batch making drinks in a bar, but as a filthy casual I'd say shaking up a good drinks is half the fun. The other half is drinking it myself :P

@bluupadoop Месяц назад

Bruh, you hit it right on the head. If I was a professional, I could see this becoming an issue, but us filthy casuals can certainly enjoy a little shaking from time to time, unlike babies 😆

@Cortlandt_Cash 3 года назад

c'mon now. It literally takes 45 seconds to clean two shaker tins, lol. Less time than it does to drag out the vitamix. I appreciate the video though. :)

@azraelf.6287 3 года назад

Rinse both tins and chunk them in the top rack of the dishwasher while the foam layer is settling on the sour. No wasted time, and you're probably next to the sink anyway.

@vokun24 3 года назад

Why do you keep your vitamix in a storage shed out back? If you spend $500 for a blender, it should be out for everyone to ogle.

You don't have to take something out if you keep it on the counter.

@buttsexandbananapeels 3 года назад

Something is use for people that request a shaken cocktail or when making camping cocktails: blender bottles. The little wire ball is awesome for a dry shake. They also seal well and are a cinch to clean. You can also stack and strain a rail of drinks to show off a multiple pour.

@fugidaboudid 3 года назад

i appreciate the tip, especially for batched drinks. seems like a no brainer. but let's be honest, you did not give that first drink a proper shake, hence why there wasn't much foam.

@chris8328 3 года назад

I switched to mixing my whiskey sours in small bowls. I use a spiral whisk to foam up the eggwhite in the drink. Works better than I could have imagined and is a nice evening workout. Cheers! Edit: Forgot to mention, that the glass of my boston shaker broke...

Just my thoughts :)

@thelastdankbender4353 3 года назад

@franzfanz 3 года назад

Definitely agree. Plus I find I get all the foam I need by adding a protein powder shake ball to the tin when I shake. Also, my blender is kept in a cupboard and getting it out and setting it up is way more effort than just grabbing a shaker off the top of my bar.

@buttsexandbananapeels 3 года назад

I agree there’s a lot to be said for the motions of making a day-end reward. The nice thing about the blender is it makes you feel better because a sour has an egg, and an egg is protein. This makes a cocktail a “recovery shake” after a hard workout because you ALWAYS blend those.

@sandwhich1050 3 года назад

Personally, cleaning a shaker and strainer would be easier. However, doing several of the same cocktail at once would make sense with a blender

@DennisComella 3 года назад

Exactly. You can only feasibly shake two drinks in a shaker, but it doesn't make sense to blend a single drink either. I've never had more than a few drops leak from a shaker.

@Barprints 3 года назад

I love my shaker, but this gives you a great option in a pinch, like if you're at a friend's place and you need to whip something up without your tools.

@adrianbreedlove6510 3 года назад

I use a Mason jar as a shaker. Depending on the drink, either a pint or quart jar works well and is a snap to clean by tossing it into the dishwasher.

@oliminator 3 года назад

This seems pretty controversial. I feel like I never have an issue with spillage or stickiness when it comes to shaking cocktails in either a Boston shaker or cobbler shaker. And a blender seems overkill if you’re only going to be making one drink.

@doc8125 3 года назад

Depends, one of those small smoothie blenders might work pretty well, and I can see this being very neat if you are making like 10 whisky sours back to back at a house party (speaking from experience, that is straining AF on the hand). I slso think this Mahone shows that you don't need to go and invest in a whole bunch of tools to create good drinks

If you're making something pretty tame in terms of gunking up the blender, especially a Vitamix... throwing some water in after using, blending, then rinsing with hot water is pretty much on par with cleaning a Vitamix. A single drink makes less sense, but multiple makes a lot of sense. I think the quantity is the game-changer here.

Hi! Im eze, Argentinian competitor in many cocktail tournments IBA and others and bartender with 10 years of experience in bars, hotels, pubs, disco and restaurants... YES! the use of a blender machine is great WITHOUT ice! the best foam by far is with a blender ALWAYS! WITHOUT ICE! why? cause every pice of ice that you put in a blender is gonna end as water in your cocktail and that is something you like in a FROZZEN cocktail but not in a family of martinys or creamy cocktails, etc... The dilute amount of water is not comparable to a proper shacke technicke. Another way is the use of swizzle stick direct on the glass, really easy to clean, cheap and simple to get.

@Cocktailnyymi 3 года назад

Dunno, I don't understand how cleaning a shaker is supposed to be hard. Just immediately rinse and let it dry. I do understand using the blender if you have many guests and the same drink aka if batching. But as some have said, it is more gratifying to use a shaker. Also it doesn't take nearly as much space as a big and good blender. Interesting start for this series!

Hey Nick, great new series! Love your channel. For big crowds I sometimes use a blender, but honestly: for myself I only shake. It just has so much more style and I hate the sound of blenders.

@COMPNOR-97 3 года назад

It might be nice to do some home experiments and comparisons. But as a pure amateur I've never had issue with it getting everywhere. Maybe once, but not on any kind of regular basis. And for one or two cocktails as others have said the blender seems overkill. But I do like that foam head.

@therealpepeu 3 года назад

Blenders are so aggressive. Wouldn't it dilute it way too much?

@LukeWalstead 3 года назад

Nah, he's limiting the dilution by only adding a 1×1×1 inch cube per cocktail. He said that won't over dilute and it will cup sufficiently. I'm guessing this only true for some cocktails so, you might need to adjust depending on what exactly you're making. A hurricane, for example might need more sure to it's sheer volume.

@tteot1wph 3 года назад

@siggyincr7447 3 года назад

I've done this for a while for foamy cocktails and the cleaning thing seems like a strange justification. The big reason the blender is better is the level of aeration you can achieve. If you take your first sip before the head starts to separate out the difference becomes clear immediately. The mouth feel and even the taste are vastly different for the first minute or so out of the blender. As the foam head forms the difference from shaken slowly disappears.

@slipperynickels 3 года назад

Clever, but I think I'd *really* much prefer washing a shaker instead of washing a blender, because I've never had a blender that wasn't a pain in the ass to properly wash. Washing my shaker is just washing a couple metal cups. Especially if I plan to use the shaker again that night, where a rinse suffices until the end of the night. I prevent shaker mess by shaking over the sink.

I use a SECURA ‘Automatic Frother and Hot Chocolate Maker’ [ model F280R ] much like the blender was used here, for my drinks. I use the cold setting of course, but it will not break down an ice cube! I add some crushed ice after frothed but not while it’s running. Then froth a bit more to get your chill on. The SECURA can live on the countertop so it’s very handy, unlike a cumbersome blender. Super easy cleanup. I make a Tequila Sour with the egg white variation like a Boston variation of a Whiskey Sour. 1 part fresh lemon juice.(often I get 3/4 oz from half of a lemon. So I measure the lemon juice first and call that 1 part) 1 part simple syrup. 2 parts Tequila. Half an egg white, about an oz. (The pasteurized egg whites in the small carton are great for this. And you won’t have to toss an egg yolk or find a use for the yolk.)

Hmm. You can easily get that much foam if you shake more than 15 seconds. So... use a blender when making multiple drinks at once? Thats a "game changer" for you?? No one making 6 or more of the same drink at a party uses a shaker unless they dont have a blender to begin with. This is like "Protip: use a larger glass to hold more liquid"...

@DanDaCosta 3 года назад

Recently backed and received the Elevated Craft cocktail shaker from Kickstarter which aims to solve a couple of the issues mentioned in the video. To my experience it delivers on its' promises: No leakages (lock design + gaskets), No counter mess (double walled so no condensation puddles), less clean up (integrated measurements) and larger size for multiple drinks at once. Despite all this, I do still consider myself a beginner so will definitely try the blender too!

@Yourmomma568 2 года назад

why is it harder to clean 2 cups than a blender and blades? I think this idea is greta for pros who are making 2,3,6,15 cocktails all at once, but if you are at home you can get results just as good if you dry drshake a bit more vigorously and go easy on the ice. You can get a lot more foam with deep freeze ice (-30c) and a faster horizontal shake.

@MrChrono 3 года назад

If I'm sitting at the bar in a fancy cocktail place and I'm expected to pay $15+ per drink, I would feel absolutely disappointed if the bartender just dumps batches of drinks in a blender every couple of minutes, not to mention the noise from a blender with ice cubes ruining the conversation... The taste of a cocktail is just part of the experience, seeing the craftsmanship and enjoying the experience is a big part too!

@MrMoney331 3 года назад

Wow that really is a difference in foam, I am not sure I will go to this method right away as I have small child that is usually sleeping when I make a cocktail.

I used to love them when I was young, the "gross" ones, and haven't tried it again in awhile. Love the Strong Bourbon in there!

@adashofbitter 3 года назад

I love Jeffrey and this definitely works better than shaking (less ice wastage too), BUT... How the hell is he getting cocktail all over his cabinets? I've literally never had that happen to me while shaking a drink. What I like this technique for is making more than one cocktail at a time... but for one drink it doesn't seem to save anything on cleaning (how long does it take most people to rinse out a shaker?), doesn't seem to save any time (seems longer if anything) and I'm still super confused how either of you are making a mess even with dry shaking, let alone once ice is added.

@ericbeardo 3 года назад

I disagree on this method. I've tried blending egg white drinks over the years to get better/faster emulsion, and it always comes out "chalky" to me. Coats the mouth in an unpleasant way, instead of the smooth creaminess the egg is supposed to provide. Same thing happens if you dry shake a cocktail for an extended period, like 10+ minutes. Additionally, this method is going to make a blended ice drink even in the best blenders unless the temperatures are all perfect to completely melt the ice. I would need to fine strain anyway. For larger batches I see the appeal.

@garymandabon8663 3 года назад

Blender is a versatile tool in the bar, most definitely if you have a group ordering 12 espresso martinis/ whisk(e)y sours all together, but i believe its all about technique on how you shake to get that thiccc foam. I will still not sub my double tin with a blender if Im working. I also use hand blender as some eggwhite cocktail does not yield the same amount of thicc foam. But nothing beats the sound and style of shaking. Cheers

@sarsattacks 3 года назад

Hi, could you please do this experiment again but with a non-egg white shaken cocktail? I'm curious on whether or not that will create more foam. (I assume it would, but I don't have a high powered blender like that at my home).

@johnolmos8670 2 года назад

Back in the 80s people wouldn’t shake cocktails they would use a milk shake whipper to aerate drinks. As you can imagine this was horrible as it didn’t add any chill or dilution to the cocktail.

If you want to make foam stiff as the blender without the broken ice, throw the spring from the strainer in to the shaker for dry shake. Second trick is to foam the egg white cocktail mixture with immersion blender before adding the ice. With these tricks you won't water down/get the small ice shrapnels in your cocktail.

@MikePouch 3 года назад

Interesting - I use a Japanese shaker and only have mess issues with eggwhite cocktails (the foam causes pressure and blows out the sides). I'll definitely try this with my eggwhite cocktails (esp for that beautiful head of foam!). My bartender suggestion is Sother Teague of Amor y Amargo in NYC.

Just because you don't know how to dry shake properly it doesn't mean the other technique is better... I can get more foam then both those 2 cocktails together and no, not with a revers dry shake. Plus if you use cheep tools of course your going to get a bad seal. A good heavy big tin with a softer small tin creates a gasket effect.

I’m all for doing things the easy way... but cleaning the blender is way more of a pain in the butt than two peices of metal. So I’m on team shaker for this one, no competition. Also how on earth is he getting cocktails on his cabinets? I get having drip line down the side, and so I wipe it, but how does it go everywhere? How is he holding it? Is he throwing it?

Great great video! Just I would love to talk a little bit slower. (Felt a lil hasty compared to other videos of yours) Greetings from Germany!

How the fuck is this guy getting stuff all over his cabinets/floor/ceiling lmfao. I am by no means a professional and this has never happened.

If you're worried about a mess, why not use a plastic blender bottle (like the kind you might use for protein shakes at the gym). They are cheap, easy to clean, and seal easily so no mess.

If his cocktail shaker is leaking / spilling / splattering he doesn't know how to use it properly....or his shaker leaks. Time for a new shaker?

I, like others, really don't see the issue with a shaker, especially from somebody who is hailed as a master of his craft. People often complain about cobbler shakers but I use one at home, and a boston shaker has never leaked for me either. I just don't get this issue of mess.

Fantastic way to start this series. 1 question though. 1 1inch Cube per Cocktail? Is that good enough to get the temperature amd dilution right?

"will it blend?" Having seen everything from golf balls to an iPad blended, I can safely say that yes, a cocktail will blend, lol

P Lease😀. I got the click bait idea, but I think you can do better, than this. What kind of ghetto, unprofessional bar using a loud blender front of the guests? I got it if you are in a beach, no issue, but not in a nice bar.

I use a vacuum cleaner to remove the froth off drinks...okay not really but someone should invent a tool for that haha

@tedbonnot8910 3 года назад

in what world is cleaning a blender easier than cleaning a cocktail shaker? and how is a pro bartender somehow unable to use a cocktail shaker without making a mess? literally never happened to me. the foam is neat though i guess.

I have never had a problem with my metal shakers. Just start slow with the ice to chill the air inside to create the small vacuum inside and make the metal half's pull into each other. But if thats how he does it then fair enough Ill still be using my shaker though. With egg white cocktails just dry shake first then add the ice dont see how this is much better really also you did not dry shake the egg white enough whats why you only got a small head its not that hard to see. But hey thats just me
