Tips and Techniques

For this book’s cocktail recipes I’ve partnered with Brittini Rae, a killer bartender who didn’t become known as the best female bartender in America just because she’s good at her job; she literally won the title when she was crowned winner of the national Speed Rack female bartending competition, and has since trained other women throughout the country on how to best compete. Brittini has created cocktail menus for a host of bars and she knows all of the bar-industry standards. Together, we bring you an at-home mixology experience combining the best of both worlds! These are Brittini’s tips and techniques to help you be the most efficient at-home bartender you can be, and you’ll find other helpful bartending tips throughout this book.
