Shaking your cocktail is an essential step in making the Sunset 75 and many other cocktails. It helps mix the ingredients together and also chills the drink. When you shake this drink, you're also incorporating air, which helps give it a light and refreshing texture. There are a few basic steps you need to follow when shaking your cocktail. First, make sure you have all of your ingredients ready. Next, fill the shaker with ice. Then, add the ingredients to the shaker. Expert mixologists recommend shaking your ingredients for 15 seconds. Use a back-and-forth motion sending the ingredients from the bottom of your shaker to the top and back. This motion ensures the cocktail's thoroughly mixed, and the ice cools the ingredients so you can serve a chilled cocktail. Shaking this cocktail is the best way to get a smooth and refreshing drink. It's also a great way to show off your at-home mixologist skills. So next time you're making this delicious drink, make sure to shake it like a master.
