Tips Of The Trade

No professional chef would dream of serving a soup, sauce, or other made from a scratch recipe without tasting it during the course of preparation.

They must always be checked for flavour before serving ( unless you have made the drink before many times, or made a large batch ) especially for sweetness. If a cocktail turns out to be too sweet or sour despite the fact that you have followed the recipe carefully, adjustments should be made until you are satisfied with the results.

Cheers!
