Shake it off

Instead of shaking a cocktail with a bunch of ice cubes, use one 2-inch (5-cm) and two regular-sized cubes. The advantage is texture—it incorporates more air yielding a lighter and creamier drink with a handsome cap of foam. Try this bartender’s trick the next time you mix up some Daiquiris. Since air bubbles dissipate quickly, serve and consume immediately.
