It's time for resident drinks guy Thurman to answer your burning questions. In this episode he talks the difference between shaken and stirred, and the perfect drink to make when you can't be bothered.
In this episode of Ask Measured, Thurman Wise, Measured Drinks Guy talks whisky, when to shake or stir and simple yet satisfying drinks to make at home.
Ever wanted to ask the bartender for their recipe? Thurman (who was once a bartender in New York) shares his advice on when it’s appropriate to ask—and when you should definitely not.
For those who are new to whiskey, Thurman recommends starting with a smooth and approachable American bourbon, like this one from Evan Williams, offering a gentle introduction before exploring more complex varieties.
When it comes to shaking or stirring cocktails, Thurman explains the types of cocktails that most lend them selves to one or the other. Though, when it comes to martinis—all bets are off.
