Stirring

Cocktails which contain only liquor require stirring with ice in a mixing glass with a bar spoon for proper mixing. It is necessary to stir enough to ensure that the drink is well mixed and chilled, but not enough to dilute the drink.

Procedure:

Fill the mixing glass approximately 3/4 full with ice and then add the required amount of liquor. Stir slowly in a clockwise motion for about 3-4 stirs or circles around the glass. After this is done, strain the drink into the serving glass and garnish it accordingly.
