Bartender's secrets

1. Why smoke the cocktail glass?
Smoking a cocktail is a very popular (and appreciable) technique in mixology. Often based on barks or plants, this technique allows to flavour a cocktail by making it more complex to the nose. This smoky side, rosemary, thyme, cinnamon or sandalwood to name but a few will surprise you and create a wow effect with your friends!

2. Squeezing the lemon instead of pounding it?
Squeezing the lemon allows to recover only the good juice of the lemon. Squeezing reveals the bitter lemon peel and essential lemon oil. To balance the flavors it is better to squeeze than to squeeze.

History of Cuba Libre
