Protip: Using a Blender Instead of Shaker
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.
