HELPFUL TIPS FOR FEBFAST

TIPS ON
MEASURING & MIXING

MEASURING

All the recipes in our FEBFAST program are measured in mls and cups. You will have received a 15ml/30ml jigger in your FEBFAST delivery, however if you misplace it at any stage, you can also use a tablespoon to measure. Each tablespoon is 15ml.

Another handy measuring tool is a teaspoon, which is 5ml.

MIXING

Most cocktails are mixed in a cocktail shaker or a stirring glass. Whilst these are beautiful to use, and make the job easier, you can also use a big jar with a lid, or even a wide-necked water bottle or smoothie shaker. As long as it can fit lots of ice, can be sealed, and is easy to pour out of, you can use anything!

GLASSWARE

Glasses are a simple way to create a big wow factor when if comes to drinks. Our favourite place to glasses is is at thrift stores. You can find all sorts of treasures that make your drinks feel super special.

GARNISHES

Herbs, fresh fruit, edible flowers and The Curious Cabinet Cocktail Dusts are super easy ways to create WOW with your mixology.

COCKTAIL DUST, SALT OR SUGAR AS A GARNISH

Below is a useful video we posted last year, it’s a great tip on how to rim your glass with our Cocktail Dusts and you can also use this method for salts or sugars.

TIPS ON PLANNING
& PREPARATION

ICE

You’re going to use a lot of ice, so make sure your ice trays are full! We also suggest having a plastic container in the feezer and popping ice from your trays in there, so you can refill the trays for next time. You can never have enough ice.

PRE-BREW TEA

We suggest brewing a big batch of tea in advance, and storing it in bottle in the fridge so that it’s ready and chilled whenever you need it. Refer to your weekly planner and make sure you’ve brewed enough of our Spring Blossoms or Festive Spiced Tea well in advance. (see linked video below).

CHILL YOUR GLASSWARE

One of the easiest ways to keep your cocktails chilled and delicious, is to pre-chill your glassware. A cold mocktail is a must!

TIP - if you’re worried about knocking your glassware over in your freezer, stand it up in a plastic container.
