Alternatively, you could shake longer, get proper dilution, and enjoy from the first sip... In turn, your drinks will go down faster and not get watered down.

This isn't meant to be a jab at you, just speaking from vast drinking experience. Some complex drinks do "open up" as they dilute but if your Mai Tai's aren't great from the moment you pour, you're doing something wrong.

^^^ This right here

I thought this was LITERALLY the point of all the different assing-about with crushed ice, shaved ice, cubed ice,
shaking,
flash blending,
FULL blending,
open pours,
gated pours,
fantastical ice accessories (cones and shells, etc).

Otherwise we could just mix and shake stuff neat and pour it over the rocks, right? :wink:


“The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says that the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, the effect of which is like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.”
