N0438 for 33 NYC Mixologists Shake It Up

Posted by Yuka as Famous

Mixologists agree that different cocktails call for different shakes, but how can you tell when to use “The Bull” instead of “The Slow ‘n Steady?” In search of this answer, we filmed 33 NYC mixologists’ signature shakes. We attended events and tastings armed with Flip video cameras, and the second the shakers were sealed, we started filming, regardless of how dark or loud the bar was. The result is a compendium of shaking styles that reflects work histories, philosophies, personalities—even blood alcohol levels at the time of shooting.
