NUKING COCKTAILS
The often-maligned microwave oven finds new meaning with Londonbased cocktail wizard Ryan Chetiyawardana, also known as Mr Lyan. He uses the microwave to zap manhattans and negronis to rapidly infuse ingredients and bring flavours together. The closed container he uses as part of the process prevents any alcohol from being cooked off. Of course, you should wait for your drink to cool completely before imbibing.
