Ciao I'm Simone and this is a special way to impress your friends and open
a bottle of sparkling wine. So let me explain how to do it, every cage of pressurised bottles
that holds the corks is twisted with 3 full turns, you see this ring, you see this one
here? So it's very simple, you hold it with the left hand without moving it, so this stays
firm and simply do like this... one, two and three. Your friends are gonna be impressed.
Salute! Ciao Hey guys it's Steve Schneider from New York City's Employees Only. When
I make drinks I like to add a bit of touch of showmanship to my drinks, you know? I'll
show you a basic move, a basic flair that is called the tin spin. You take the fat meaty
part of your hand and you just spin the tin over it. Just spin it. Just keep practising.
It'll look good and make good drinks too. Cheers.
Hey guys, me again, my cocktail hack is a wonderful little garnish that we bartenders called the apple fan,
It is so, so easy to do, all you need is a sharp knife and a juicy apple. So, how to do it.
Take one granny smith apple, cut it vertically and then cut it vertically in half once more,
so you're left with a quarter
of an apple. Now, if you use your finger as a guide, cut some really wafer thin slices
to about 3 quarters of the way down, so you start feeling some resistance. There you are,
so just come back to the front and chop through and what you've got here if you're not feeling
confident, slick a cocktail stick through the base of the apple fan just like that,
or like a deck of cards or indeed a fan, just fan it out. So that's it! It's really simple
and it looks amazing, really impressive. Just to show how impressive we're going to pop
it onto a treacle that we've just knocked up, there you go, if you're interested in
how to make this delicious rum and applely concoction check the link down here below.
And there it is. A beautiful quarter apple fan.
Hello my name is Fabio, I work in Sao Paulo and today we will show a technique called throwing.
Basically it consists of the cocktail
shaker, in one tin you keep ice cubes and you hold it with a strainer, so this is the
part that you will work the temperature of your drink and you will just throw the liquid
from one to the other with the drink obtaining a nice oxygenation, without shaking, without
any massive dilution, there we go.
Can you see these bubbles? It's not soap, it's alcohol. Thank you very much.
Hey everybody, I'm Joe and I'm going to show you my absolute favourite
party trick, which is called sabrage, and basically we're just going to chop off the
top of a bottle of champagne or prosecco, it's the best way of opening it, once you
learn how you will never open a bottle of champagne the same way again. What you want
to do is follow up this line to where it hits the little lip and if you hit it just right
with the back of a knife if should chop straight clean off. Ready? One, two, three.
Boom, how awesome is that? Make sure you're really careful though, never do this inside, make sure you
never aim it at anyone because there's a lot of pressure and most importantly be really
careful when you're pouring your champagne or prosecco. But that is my favourite party
trick, I hope you enjoy it. Cheers!
