How To Pour Your Favorite Drinks

There’s science and art to everything – the way you hold the glass, adding in ice cubes and even holding the drink. Here are the right ways to pour your favourite spirits so that next time you do it right and look damn great doing it.

Beer: Hold the glass at 45 degrees(no, you don’t need mathematical tools), pour beer at mid point of the glass, tilt your beer mug as you reach the halfpoint, and stop pouring at 0.5 or 1.5 inch to head. Now enjoy!

Wine: After cleaning the opening of the beautiful wine glass, you can start pouring wine while cradling the bottle with both hands. The glass should be sitting on the table, and the gap between the bottle’s lip and the bottom of the wine glass should be 6 to 10 inches so that the wine gets aerated as you pour it. Twist the bottle gently towards the end of the pouring to get the last few stubborn drops out.

Scotch: Neat is the best way to have scotch and here’s how you should pour it like a stud. Open the scotch and nose it to sense the hidden aromas and flavours, position the bottleneck approximately an inch above the glass, and do not take your eyes off while pouring. Enjoy the dance of the gorgeous spirit as you pour it.

Champagne: Place the glass on the table, place your right hand at the base of the bottle with your thumb on the punt (the depression on the bottom) while balancing the neck with left hand, use a towel to cover the bottle so that the drink doesn’t get heated up. Pour your drink to the side of the glass at a slow pace to maintain the bubbly texture. Each time you pour, it’s gonna bubble up, so pause pouring and wait for it to subside so that you don’t have to drink just the fizz. Now celebrate!

Layered cocktail drink: This may come across as a challenge to amateur pourers, but it comes easy with a little practice. Figure out which is the most dense spirit you are using and pour that into the glass first. Pick a long shot glass, otherwise the layers won’t be visible. Don’t pour it on the side, just pour it to the centre. Now put a spoon very slightly above the opening of the glass and pour the next liqueur slowly over the back of the spoon. Repeat the same process with the third layer and tada, you have poured a pretty, three layered cocktail. Now enjoy!
