What do you need to make drinks?

The desire to try delicious drinks is important, but it's not enough to prepare delicious recipes.

Therefore, we have selected some tools that can help you in the task of reproducing good drink recipes.

These are items that make a difference, whether to facilitate the preparation process or to improve the appearance of the ingredients when presenting the drink.

Check it out:

juicer: generally used to make the most of the fruit pulp.
grater: nutmeg and fruit peel zest are some examples of how to use a grater;
Strainer: One of the most commonly used professionally is the strainer, which has springs to adapt to different types of glasses and cocktail shakers. If you don't have one, you can use a simple strainer.
macerator: used to extract juice from fruit pulp and essential oils from herbs and citrus peels;
dispenser: a dispenser commonly holds 50 ml, but there are others with even more specific measurements;
Corkscrew/bottle opener: pretty obvious, but worth remembering, right? Cocktail shaker: used to mix the liquid thoroughly and makes preparing drinks much easier. If you don't have one, you can use a container with a tight-fitting lid;
ballerina spoon: spoon with a spiral handle that makes mixing drinks easier;
knife: preferably small to help with more precision in preparation;
ice bucket and tongs: to finish the drink successfully!
