3 Pro Tips for Making the Best Homemade Cocktails

Here are 3 tips to help you take your homemade cocktail making skills to the next level:

• Pre-chill your glasses. Pre-chilling your cocktail glasses will help to make sure that your pineapple margaritas stay refreshingly cool right until the very end. You can either chill the glasses in the fridge or fill them with ice and water before preparing your cocktails.
• Shake vigorously. There’s a reason why James Bond always took his cocktails shaken and not stirred; vigorously shaking your margaritas will allow the cold to fully permeate the cocktail, giving it the perfect finish.
• Use high quality ingredients. This tip applies to both your liquor selection as well as your fruit juice. Use freshly squeezed fruit juices whenever possible for maximum freshness. Likewise, use top shelf premium liquor when making your cocktails for best results.
